No. Chicago is too far from the ocean to get hurricanes. Though some storms, including a derecho (squall line with very strong winds) have produced hurricane force winds in the Chicago area.
The remnants of hurricanes can hit Chicago, but by that time they will have long since lost hurricane status.

Why can't hurricanes hit Chicago?
Hurricanes form over tropical ocean water and weak rapidly to below hurricane strength if they hit land. Chicago is too far from the ocean for a hurricane to reach it.
Has a hurricane ever hit Illinois?
Not as a hurricane; it would lose tropical characteristics by the time it is that far inland. However, Illinois is affected by the remnants of tropical systems from time to time. For example, in September, 2008, the remnants of Hurricane Ike, which made landfall on the Texas coast, dumped 5 to 7 inches of rain in parts of northern Illinois and Indiana. That caused significant flooding along the DuPage, Des Plaines and Chicago rivers. A state of emergency was declared in Chicago and Cook County because of the flooding.
