Chain that lets you buy a single chicken finger opens in Copley Square
By Oliver Blake on Tue, 04/25/2023 - 8:52pm
Raising Cane's will open its second Boston outlet on Wednesday at 755 Boylston St., between Fairfield and Exeter streets in Copley Square.
In addition to chicken fingers, which can be bought in quantities of 1 to 100, the chain also sells Texas toast and fries, all offered with Cane's Sauce, which is sort of like Russian Dressing.
The new location has a seasonal patio for people watching while eating chicken fingers.
Raising Cane's, based in Louisiana, opened its first Boston location in 2009 on Commonwealth Avenue, across from BU's Agganis Arena.

The store at BU has been
The store at BU has been super crowded every time that I've tried to drop in lately.
I don't know quite how to describe the taste of Cane's Sauce, but it's not like Russian dressing.
Fact Check
Welcome Oliver, sorry to have to challenge your first post, but that first Raising Cane’s has been on Comm Ave for over ten years. I used to walk by and frequently see a colleague inside having lunch.
Wow! Since 2009

Closer to 14 years even!
October 15, 2009 was the opening date.

Welcome, Oliver. Don't mind us, we don't have much better to do with our time. I didn't even realize it wasn't an Adam G story.
Now I want chicken fingers and I'm not above eating them for breakfast. All foods are breakfast foods, if you eat them for breakfast.
Lesson #1
Even if you are writing about a chicken finger place, getting the details right always matters.
Blame me, not Oliver
I stuck in the "couple of years" thing and I obviously have no conception of time. Fixed.
just the other day
I saw some article about how it's one of the fastest growing chains. Let's hope it out-competes a certain other fascist-aligned company in that market.
The Chick-fil-A in Copley has
The Chick-fil-A in Copley has been quite thriving since the day it opened.
Indeed
Isn't Copley where those wet-bottomed Nazi losers came to show their asses in public? Chick Fil A's target demographic, that is! Of course they were masked, so they wouldn't be able to eat their shitty chicken sandwiches. Maybe on the drive home to New Hampshire.
Likewise the Chick-Fil-A Food Truck
There’s always a long line (mostly Northeastern students) whenever the truck is parked on Opera Place.

First headline.
Nom nom
One question: Do they make chicken fists?
You know... four chicken fingers and a chicken thumb.
I never got it
I ate here once when the BU location was new and just didn't see what all the excitement was about. Not sure this new location will work as well as that one: rents are probably higher, and college kids will eat anything.
what you get
Kind of bummed that the chain is all about pushing the combo meals (feels like ihop). If you just want some fingers it's ala-carte.
Chickens have fingers?
I didn't even know that chickens had fingers. Reminds me of the time that a waiter at a reception tried to pass off something as "fish balls"
Yep
right at the ends of their buffalo wings.
