J&G Fried Chicken ({{lang-zh|t=繼光香香雞|p=Jìguāng Xiāngxiāngjī}}) is a Taiwanese fried chicken brand based in Taichung, Taiwan. The chain's namesake is Jiguang Street in Central District, Taichung.

J&G started in 1973 as a food stall within a wet market in Taipei's Ximending neighborhood, but its current recipe was not developed until 1979. In the 1980s, the stall was moved to Jiguang Street in Taichung. J&G became a chain store in the early 2000s, and later transitioned into a fast casual restaurant in the 2010s. As of January 2019, the chain has 326 restaurants in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Canada.{{cite web |author1=李雅筑 |title=珍奶接班人? 46歲繼光香香雞另闢「美式快休閒」路線 |url=https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20190112000015-260410?chdtv |website=China Times |access-date=December 25, 2021 |language=zh-tw |date=January 12, 2019}}{{cite web |title=街頭雞戰1/繼光香香雞睽違20年強勢回歸 加盟金震撼市場 |url=https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20200929000942-260410?chdtv |website=CTWANT |publisher=China Times |access-date=December 25, 2021 |language=zh-tw |date=September 29, 2020}} Its flagship store is located at the corner of Zhongshan Road and Luchan East Road in Taichung, a few blocks away from its original location.{{cite web |author1=吳奕萱 |title=繼光香香雞變網美店 旗艦店打造台中新地標 |url=https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20210930006034-260405?chdtv |website=China Times |access-date=December 25, 2021 |language=zh-tw |date=October 1, 2021}}{{cite web |author1=邱巧貞 |title=繼光香香雞台中旗艦店登場 眺望綠川街景網美拍照新據點 |url=https://ent.ltn.com.tw/news/breakingnews/3689786 |website=Liberty Times |access-date=December 25, 2021 |language=zh-tw |date=October 1, 2021}}
