5 Best Chicken Wings near Fort Lee

“Hands down the best chicken ever! Finding good chicken in New York that doesn't break the bank is tough, but Yam Yam is both affordable and high quality. I especially loved their Ppurings—it genuinely tastes exactly like the Korean style chicken. It’s so fresh, crunchy, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place!“

“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.“

“Between the friendly service and food my experience was nothing short of amazing. The Honey Garlic and Secret Spicy are definitely must haves. They were the perfect balance of crunchy and wet even though they were tossed. I highly recommend stopping in or taking to go. I’ll be back whenever I’m near this location!“

“Best margarita Pizza ever in the whole wide world and their wings oh my God they are real wings no fat on them like a little bit but not like you know when you go into a place and they give you Tyson wings that’s all fat not at all. huge wings, delicious and the margarita. I’m eating a slice as I’m writing this review and the staff is amazing all around. That’s my go to.“
