What oil does Angry Chickz fry in?
Angry Chickz cooks with soybean and peanut oil.
In detail: Soybean and peanut oil, as a blend - the chain's own words. Angry Chickz's July 2026 nutrition sheet (angrychickz.com/nutrition-and-allergen-information) states "Our kitchens use soybean and peanut oil" and does not say which item gets which, so the record carries the blend exactly as stated (Jared's ruling 7, 2026-09-18) rather than our earlier reading of peanut for the fryer (a Yelp Q&A answer plus the fries' 17.9% saturated share). The two oils are too close in saturated fat (15% vs 17%) to be separated by any panel, so PUFA maths scores the blend at its higher reading, the soybean end. Soybean-oil mayonnaise in the Angry Chickz sauce and the slaw.

Why the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Angry Chickz report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
