Hollis JohnsonRaising Cane's is the fastest growing restaurant in the US, thanks in part to a super-minimalist menu.The fastest-growing restaurant chain in the US is all about one thing: chicken fingers.

Raising Cane's increased sales by a whopping 25.9% in 2016, reaching the No. 1 spot on Nation's Restaurant News annual list of the fastest-growing chains by sales in the US. The 310-location chicken finger restaurant is taking over the nation, opening 59 new restaurants in the past year alone.

Fried chicken is hot right now, but Raising Cane's offers something that's a little bit different then chains like Chick-fil-A or KFC, thanks to its minimalist menu and focus on chicken fingers.

In an effort to see if Raising Cane's lives up to the hype, Business Insider visited a location in Charlottesville, Virginia. What we discovered was a chain with the potential to go head-to-head with the champions of the chicken industry.
