5 Best Chicken Wings near Fort Lee

“If you’re craving amazing fried chicken, this place is a must-visit! We ordered the spicy soy garlic and the soy garlic flavor. The chicken is incredibly crispy, the kind of crunch you can hear before you even take a bite! Each piece is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to absolute perfection.
And don’t leave without trying the delicious pickled radish! It’s refreshing, perfectly balanced, and pairs beautifully with the richness of the chicken. Honestly, it’s a must-try on its own.
We used to live in this area, and this spot was one of our most frequently visited places. Eight years later, we came back to visit friends for the holidays, and of course this restaurant was at the top of our list to revisit. I’m glad they keep making such good fried chicken!“

“Food is always fresh and yummy!!“

“I tried 101 Chicken in Fort Lee and ended up liking it a lot more than I expected. The first thing you notice is the setup — they use a robot fryer, and the kitchen is fully visible from outside. It’s unusually clean for a fried chicken place, almost like a small lab, which immediately gives you confidence about how the food is handled.

The frying quality across the menu was consistently good, and the flavors felt cleaner and more balanced compared to a lot of other Korean-style chicken spots. Here’s what I tried:

101 Potato Crispy Chicken ($14.9)
The most unique item for sure. The potato-crusted coating gives it a sharp, crunchy bite, and the flavor has a slightly sweet, tangy “tomato snack” profile. Not ketchup, but similar enough that it stands out. I really enjoyed this one.

Supreme ($13.9)
Sweet-spicy Korean style with a creamy layer. Flavorful without feeling overly heavy. A good choice if you like sauced chicken.

Original Hot Pepper ($13.5)
Classic fried chicken with a mild spicy seasoning. The finish has a light mala-style tingle, which actually worked well.

Soy Honey ($13.5)
Light, sweet-soy glaze. Easy to eat and not overpowering.

Garlic Crumble ($13.9)
Crispy garlic bits with a touch of sweetness, somewhat like a garlic bread–inspired flavor. Nice, but less distinctive than the earlier ones.

101 Tteokbokki ($13)
Simple and nostalgic — very similar to the street-style tteokbokki you’d find outside Korean schools. Chewy rice cakes with a mildly spicy, slightly sweet sauce.

Cheese Balls ($7)
Crispy outside, chewy inside, and a little sweet at the end. Great with the truffle mayo.

They offer wings, boneless, and drumsticks. I thought the boneless was the best match for their seasoning — it’s dark-meat thigh, so it stays juicy and tender. If you prefer white meat, just keep that in mind.

Overall, I had a really good experience here.
The food was consistently well-fried, the flavors were interesting without being too much, and the open, spotless kitchen was a big plus. Definitely a place I’d come back to, and easy 5 stars from me.“

“This classic pizzeria, has an old world charm. We ordered quite a bit and the staff was incredibly helpful with our choices. Tasty, and flavorful. My second slice had bacon and potatoes like whaaat? The pizza boxes on the wall added to the appeal.“

“Honestly, their fried chicken is the best. Super crispy outside, juicy inside — just hits every time. I’m glad there are BBQ Chicken spots everywhere.

As a Korean though… I had a little “wow it’s really 2026 huh” moment seeing the $2 charge for sauce 😅 I kinda wish I could swap the radish for sauce instead.

Service was good — just what you expect from BBQ Chicken. And this location is definitely better than the Pal Park one in my opinion. I’ll keep coming back.“
