7 Best Chicken Wings in Astoria

“I ordered delivery for me and a friend. We were craving some ttkbokei and wings. Never heard of bb.q Chicken. Well, glad we did because this place hit us hard in the best way possible. The wings were perfectly crisp & moist with a sweet tangy sauce. The Rose Ttkbokei was also amazing and creamy. We had the cheese fries, which were great hot, but loose their appeal when cooling down (eat them fast). I will absolutely be trying out more. This was just amazing for a delivery. Puts the other wing joints around here to shame.“

“the pizza is excellent and I love their decor“

“Long time regular at the Manhattan location. Love their portion sizes, flavors, and the cronch of their chicken. Jerry was an amazing server, he was on point with everything so shouts out to him. However, I have to say this location is a bit lacking when it compares to the other location, they do have the off menu garlic parm flavor, which was decent. I would probably not make the trip out here but it’s definitely a good spot if you’re around Astoria.“

“I got a lamb gyro platter and bae got the grilled chicken combo. Service was good and friendly. But the white sauce isn't from like a squirt bottle that the carts have. They're pre packaged. He only gave me two at first but a girl like me needs atleast 4 ?. We came here on a whim and i don't regret it. The food was really good. It was empty in there but they have a good amount of seating. Fast service. Also very decently priced. Everything came out to $23 and some change. I'd come back here to try the spicy chicken sandwich and I'd come back to get the lamb gyro again.“

“Very clean and smooth environment. Love the service. The front desk guy Abdul is a sweetheart always showing the customers his appreciation. The food and chicken recipe is amazing. It competes with Popeyes if not better than Popeyes. Try it out guys. Will recommend to anybody.“

“I asked for barbecue sauce initially and got only one. When I requested more, the server responded with, "Didn’t I already give you one?" It was frustrating because if I'm asking again, I clearly want more than just one sauce. This experience with the server tarnished my usually satisfying time at Popeyes, and that's disappointing.?“

“Popeyes was formed in Arabi, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, Louisiana, in St. Bernard Parish. It first opened its doors on June 12, 1972, as "Chicken on the Run". Owner Al Copeland (1944–2008) wanted to compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken, but his restaurant failed after several months. Copeland reopened the restaurant four days later as Popeyes Mighty Good Chicken. By 1975, the company had been renamed as Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken. Copeland started franchising his restaurant in 1976, beginning in Louisiana. The chain expanded to Canada in 1984, and opened its 500th restaurant in 1985. B. P. Newman of Laredo, Texas, acquired several franchises in Texas and surrounding states. Two hundred additional locations were added during a period of slower expansion.By 1990, Copeland Enterprises was in default on $391 million in debts it had taken on in its 1989 purchase of Church's, a rival fast food chain also focusing in fried chicken, and by April 1991, the company filed for bankruptcy protection. In October 1992, the court approved a plan by a group of Copeland's creditors that resulted in the creation of America's Favorite Chicken Company, Inc. (AFC) to serve as the new parent company for Popeyes and Church's.[14] AFC went public in 2001 with initial public offering (IPO) of $142,818,479.[15] On December 29, 2004, AFC sold Church's to Arcapita (formerly Crescent Capital Investments) retaining Popeyes.[citation needed]On August 8, 2000, Popeyes announced a franchise development plan/agreement that included 35 new restaurant locations around Australia in a bid to solidify their presence within the Asia Pacific region. All were to be located in Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales.On June 17, 2014, Popeyes announced it had re-acquired full control of its seasonings, recipes, and other proprietary food preparation techniques from Diversified Foods & Seasonings, which remained under the control of Al Copeland and his estate after the creditor sale of Popeyes to AFC. Popeyes had continued to license the seasonings, recipes, and techniques from DF&S for a yearly 'spice royalty', before buying them outright for $43 million. DF&S remains the main supplier for Popeyes until at least 2029.“
