50 Best Chicken Restaurants in New York

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“I usually visit Dave’s Hot Chicken at 7th Ave Brooklyn.
This time we went so late that it was just 40 minutes left in closing and they had put all the tables and chairs away (means the dine in was closed already) but the girl at the counter was so nice that she not only allowed us to take the chairs and sit but also suggested us to rate them on app to get a free drink (everyone loves free stuff..right??)
The food and atmosphere is always always so good. We love to go there at least twice a month (as far from our place). Highly recommended especially if you are looking for some good halal food.“

“Delicious and juicy chicken at reasonable prices. You eat the chicken with your hands with gloves so I might not go there on a date, but it’s great with friends. It’s very small and there’s not many tables. Not sure if they take reservations.“

“Finally got a chance to try out this location. My 2nd time feasting on Jollibee’s.

A bite of the chicken dipped in gravy and I can understand the joy involved. YES YES & YES…

The chicken is not overly fried, the meat is juicy & succulent. The spicy 🌶️ flavor is up there. It’s chicken on another level. 👍👍

PROS:
1) great flavor & texture
2) gravy makes it better
3) the biscuit is buttery delicious
4) fast service

CONS:
1) a bit pricier than its peers, $17.41 for a 3 piece combo.
2) the mash potato side is a bit small
3) venue has limited seating“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“Absolutely fantastic!!! I was impressed from the first bite to the last. This restaurant earned a return visit when I'm close. Every dish features fresh elements and careful presentation. Staff handle requests quickly with a friendly attitude. I'm promoting this place to all my contacts.“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“Delicious chicken and sides with recipes straight from Guatemala. You can get fried or grilled chicken. Your sides could be rice, beans, rolls, tortilla, etc. Food was quick and easy to dine with plenty of room inside the restaurant. The food will definitely get you craving for more and more.“

“I visited this bar for the 1st time. I tried the soy garlic fried chicken and scallion pancake. I also tried their lechee Sojo. I hope I spelled that correctly. The drink was delicious. The apple sojo was delicious as well. I didn't wake up with a hangover, and I drank a lot. I tried the karaoke, and that was so much fun. I would come back.“

“Suave, jugoso, buen término, piel crocante, con romero, sabor delicado.... Atención gentil, REGRESARÉ! y mis amigos seguro los visitarán. SALUDOS“

“The fried chicken tastes delicious and you actually get meat with your order. Not just fried bones with little to no meat like some places around there. You can taste the seasoning on the chicken and even the fries (I assume they cook it all in the same oil). It’s a staple in the neighborhood. They also sell other types of meats and sides like rice and beans, plantains, spaghetti, fish, you name it they have it! And it’s delicious too. Definitely going back whenever I’m around that area.“

“Lovely !! I really enjoyed the food !!“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“I went to Dave’s hot chicken I ordered my food didn’t look at it until I got home and got someone else order but I wouldn’t go back because it was a 30 minute drive was upset bout not getting what I paid for.“

“Loved this place! Walked by it a million times and never went in, decided to try it out recently and was very pleased with this local restaurant. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries which were both delicious and very generous portions. An added bonus was the friendly and welcoming service!“

“Got the chicken lunch box which costed $10 (came out to $10.88 after tax). It came with rice on the side along with salad. Salad was a bit too vinegary and the chicken tasted too sweet. Didn’t really like how the chicken tasted and the color looks very light. Not sure how to describe it but the chicken tasted “dirty”as if it wasn’t washed well. Would’ve been better if it was fried chicken.“

“Food tasted great. Service was excellent and quick despite the crowd.“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“Overall I had a good experience. The Chinatown broccolini was the highlight for me — fresh, healthy ingredients with a nice kick, definitely something I’d come back for. The tenders themselves were hot and moist, made with prime cuts of chicken breast. I would have appreciated a bit more seasoning in the batter, but I can see how that might be intentional to let the sauces shine and appeal to different palates. I didn’t love the truffle mac and cheese — I personally prefer a sharper cheddar and egg-based style — but the portion sizes overall were satisfying. The staff was very friendly and polite, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting for a casual bite. Ordering at the kiosk was convenient, though I do wish there was a bathroom on-site. Not fully convinced about the value for price given a couple of these factors, but I’d still return, especially for that broccolini.“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“

“Gave me the chicken leg I asked for. Went down right came out wrong. The next day the fries and biscuit came. My toilet was devastated.

Unrelated - they keep shorting me on sauce. You think i wouldn’t notice? You’re wrong for that. Sweet tea? Weaker than your employees lifting my chicken leg. 5 star service.“

“The chicken pot pie, while not an actual pot pie but more of a soup, is delicious! The chicken is very tender without being mush and the flavor is fabulous. The ratatouille and garlic green beans as well as the lentil & pork belly soup were also quite enjoyable. Although the food is not heavy, it is quite filling. We can't wait to try out the rotisserie chicken lunch special and I'm sure Rotiss will be on our regular rotation.“

“My go-to location, something I always crave. They recently renovated their place not so long ago, and added an elevator, so yes, it's wheelchair assessable. Other than that, customer service is good, and it's a clean environment. I LOVE YOUU CHICK-FIL-A!!!“

“HOT HONEY THIGHS CLASSIC SANDWICH BASKET“

“This place is really good! The chicken is always cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spiced. The fries are crispy and delicious. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Been going there for the past 30 years“

“I went to the shop on the 6th 46th I met Ayana, was in training but she has been wonderful. 10 stars“

“I'm visiting and staying at a hotel right around the corner and I hadn't eaten all day. I went here because it was close but I'll be back because it was delicious. I was worried the salad would be dry but NOPE! It was tossed in right the amount of dressing and the plantains were fresh and fantastic! So so good.“

“Ordered the famous tiktok frozen drinks. They were great. Owners even gave me samples of the drinks before ordering. No one asked me if I needed help and that was a bit akward as I just stood there. Be assertive as soon as you walk in is my best advice. I greeted everyone when I walked in because they were all looking at me and everyone just continued to stare. Interaction was akward but drinks were good.“

“Food is good. I opted for two combos (because I was very hungry). The caring clerk allowed me to choose one drink to avoid unnecessary expenses (although I chose 2 in the end)I'm pretty sure I'll come back to this fast food place next time I'm passing by“

“I absolutely love it !! the place is clean! excellent selection! they have so much to offer you just don't know what you want to try first . food was absolutely delicious!... .. I was just reading some negative postings I wish I took pictures the ingredients were fresh good portions I had a very good experience“

“The roasted chicken from this place is outstanding. A contender for one of the best in the city, comparable to Pio Pio in terms of quality. My only complaint is the price point which can be on the higher end of fast food.

Notice most of the other reviewers that did not like the chicken got either tenders or nuggets. Why anyone would get those is beyond me (there’s Chick-fil-A for that).“

“Giving Popeye's another chance after all these years , I can honestly say tha staff was ok , tha only had part I hate is wen u have alot of food they give u less sauce, but anyways I ordered tha Family Festive Box and it comes with 4 Chicken Tenders , 4 Chicken Wings , 4 Biscuits & 4 Sides and I got two Mac N' Cheese, Mash Potatoes & Fries.

Now tha Fries were well seasoned after I made it crispy in my air fryer it was 7/10 , tha Mash Potatoes was good 7/10 , tha Mac N' Cheese was 7.5/10 and tha Biscuits are always tha best 8/10 , tha chicken I got them spicy it was good 8/10 and tha Tenders were 7.5/10.

Overall I would rather go here then KFC.“

“Thursday 2/6/25 I ordered America the beautiful salad. It was a generous portion of Yum! Looked great, picked up and delivered home by my son, chicken still hot! It was the best chicken ranch dressing salad I have had in a long time.“

“Love � the chicken and coleslaw �“

“3yrs ago my orders were coming out wrong but they improved, it hasn't been wrong anymore. The food is good, easy and clear display of the screen food and prices. I just would like the food to be much hotter and I'm not saying this because it's cold outside. I just feel like the food is not hot enough but ready enough. It's cash only with an ATM inside, I rec you use the 99¢ store atm.“

“I've known the owner for 11 years and he is super accommodating. I'm picky and sometimes want his food prepped or packaged in a particular way. He always has his colleagues do every thing exactly as requested by me and most other people.“

“Ate here few times in February 2024. Got the $5 Good Burger, $5 Codfather, and $5 3 chicken legs and thighs and biscuit. They were all pretty good. Codfather fish fillet is very big. And 3 chicken pcs were big too.Decent quality and portions for the price.“

“This is the best fast food chicken i ever had !!!!!“

“The best fried chicken in this area of Harlem. The chicken is crispy on the outside and moist in the inside.

Maybe some of the local restaurants that specialize in southern cooking could take some lessons?

The staff is courteous and friendly always.

My favorite chicken spot.“

“THE ORIGINAL CHICKEN BISCUIT IS VALID!!! YOU GOT TO PUT THE HONEY ON IT!!! THE TATOR TOTS... YES I STILL CALL THEM TATOR TOTS TAKES ME BACK TO H.S. THE WAFFLE FRIES GO CRAZY! SPICY CHICKEN IS VALID TOO. THEY ALSO HAVE THE BEST TASTING NUGGETS ON THE MARKET. 🔥🔥🔥

Kid-friendliness: I AKWAYS BRING NY DAUGHTER WITH NE FOR DADDY DAUGHTER DATES.

Wheelchair accessibility: THE ENTRANCE IS WIDE ENOUGH FOR ACCESSIBILITY.“

“UNBELIEVABLE I personally with my public opinion believe that this is the finest chicken in all of Harlem,east side, and all of ny. Please go and ask for Sharif this guy will hook hit up and he never messes up any customers order. On top of that you have trusty workers in the back that are bilingual and are very talented and skilled chicken workers.“

“Food and Dessert are very tasty“
