Our story
Legendary Barberton Chicken since 1950
About White House Chicken HistoryWell where do we start? Founded in 1942, Barberton Chicken and its tomato rice mixture called hot sauce was introduced to the public by accident. A small restaurant in Barberton made the chicken for its employees, not for customers. After they saw them eating it they asked if they could try a little taste. Soon customers would come in for one thing; the chicken and hot sauce. They added cole slaw and fresh cut french fries and the Barberton Chicken Dinner was born.
Today50+ years later, Barberton is considered the Chicken Capital of the World. Four chicken houses serve over 7 1/2 tons of chicken per week fresh chicken, lightly breaded and deep fried. All natural. The flavor you experience is how chicken actually tastes. No heavy seasoning to "create" a taste.
