The game Definitely Not Fried Chicken is the last free title Epic Games Store will offer in January 2026. Players can claim it starting January 29th, and can also enjoy two other free games before then.
Definitely Not Fried Chicken is a quirky management simulation game where you run a fast-food restaurant… that’s secretly a front for a drug operation. Think of it as a chance to become like Gustavo Fring from Breaking Bad, but with a lot more focus on building and expanding your restaurant – and even branching out into other businesses. The game first came out on PC in September 2023 and was available exclusively on Steam for two years.
Definitely Not Fried Chicken Coming to Epic Games Store, Will Be Free at Launch
The quirky management simulation game is coming to the Epic Games Store on January 29th, and it will be free to download! Epic Games has announced it as their last free game offering for January 2026. You’ll be able to claim Definitely Not Fried Chicken for seven days, from January 29th until February 5th at 8am Pacific Time / 11am Eastern Time / 5pm Central European Time. The free offer will begin immediately after the current Rustler giveaway ends in the Epic Games Store.

In Definitely Not Fried Chicken, you start by building a legitimate business to earn money. Then, you use those profits to expand into… less legal ventures – though they’re definitely not fried chicken. As you progress, you’ll also improve your legal operations, eventually creating a believable front for your growing criminal empire. While each playthrough presents unique challenges, the core gameplay involves carefully managing growth and avoiding unwanted attention from the authorities.
Currently, Definitely Not Fried Chicken has a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam, with 71.50% of nearly 2,000 player reviews being positive. Players frequently praise the game’s detailed micromanagement and addictive progression system, noting that rewards and upgrades feel consistently within reach. Many reviewers have also pointed out the game’s clear inspiration from the TV show Breaking Bad, playfully calling it a “Los Pollos Hermanos simulator.”
Despite some recent complaints about infrequent updates – possibly due to issues with the publisher – Definitely Not Fried Chicken is widely considered one of the best strategy games available where you build a criminal empire. It’s a great choice for Epic’s free game offerings, adding to the six games already given away in January 2026, starting with Wildgate and Total War: Three Kingdoms on January 1st.
While people are waiting to get their free copy of Definitely Not Fried Chicken from the Epic Games Store, they can also claim Rustler, a game that playfully mixes the world of Grand Theft Auto with the humor of Monty Python. Released in 2021, this open-world action adventure has a top-down view reminiscent of older GTA games, but with a medieval setting that doesn’t take itself too seriously – it’s packed with modern jokes and references.
