How To Get Extra Crispy Chicken At Raising Cane's Every Time

Raising Cane's boasts a simple, straightforward, and highly craveable menu which they've been making since 1996. It's been so successful that Cane's has over 900 locations in the United States today. Even so, there are some Raising Cane's menu items you probably didn't know about, and that includes ordering your food in different styles. For one thing, if you like your chicken fingers a little more crunchy than they're usually served, you can request, "Can I get it extra crispy?" This will result in them keeping the chicken in the fryer for a little longer, giving you the crunch you're craving.

One other advantage is that extra-crispy chicken fingers are made fresh, so you can be sure you're getting food straight out of the fryer. The crunchy shell this hack creates is one of the most popular ones for Cane's faithful, as some think the regular chicken is actually a little soggy. You can also ask for your fries done "extra crispy," and they will fry them up for longer just like the chicken. It might take a little longer to get your meal, but it's worth the wait. While Raising Cane's serves a more-than-able chicken finger, getting it this way takes the crunch to a whole new level. Of course, there's one more special word you should use if you want that crispiness every time.

Remember to treat your workers nicely and say "please." The real secret hack is to show a bit of class and manners while at the restaurant even if you're feeling a touch of hanger. In the past, Raising Cane's has struggled to get workers, and fast food employment is truly a thankless job. When it comes to customers wanting "secret menu" items, it can be frustrating to employees since the menu is not an official one. Luckily, extra-crispy chicken only needs half a minute more in the fryer, so it's not too complicated.

However, some customers will be very specific about their orders, even asking that chicken be fried eight extra minutes, which can get workers in trouble. This dries out the chicken anyway, so most stores would be reluctant to go that far. As one employee wrote on Reddit about going extra crispy, "it's not a big deal. Just don't give it back telling us that it's not crispy enough. We are only allowed to do it 30 seconds extra."

While most employees agree it's not a major inconvenience, some say that when the store is especially busy it can be stressful, so they may refuse. If someone is polite and makes their special order when the store isn't totally slammed, employees don't tend to find it problematic. Although "make it extra crispy" may be the code phrase to get you that additional crunch, please and thanks are the actual magic words. We may never know what's in Cane's sauce, but you can enjoy crunchy chicken without being a jerk about it.
