50 Best Chicken Restaurants in New York

“The sliders are decent and large with a good varying amount of spice levels suited for anyone to enjoy. The hot mozz on the other hand, which is pretty viral, was a let down. It tastes really heavily like one of the red peppers, cayenne or paprika, and seems to just be known for a cheese pull.“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Amazing elevated chicken. It's not just chicken, however. Oysters were superb. Salads (the scallion salad is an absolute delight) and all the sides are just superior. Little touches that seem whimsical but are just spot on - try the 24 carat nugget with caviar. Excellent star-studded champagne list; why not? Staff were just exceptional. Special shout out to the sommelier who came by and spent time even though we didn't buy a killer bottle of bubbly. We will return.“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“OMG. I wasn’t expecting the flavor explosion from this place. Even though they only serve one protein (guess), they knock it out of the park. The chicken, seasoning, and onion arrived at the table. Slipped a glove on and dug in! Ouch… it was so damn hot. After getting over that initial shock, the first piece went into my mouth… heaven! So then I expanded to try it with the seasoning… heaven-squared! As I continued devouring the chicken, my son pointed out, “try it with the onion as well.” Ok, that blew my mind… heaven-cubed! I am definitely coming back even with the crazy parking and the congestion pricing for out-of-towners.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Wow! This was incredible. A whole chicken and two generous sides for $70 is an amazing value, especially considering the quality. These are the kinds of places that make you want to cook at home less often. If I lived in New York, I’d easily be eating here a couple of times a week. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“Every time I come here they take my order in less than 20 seconds and somehow it comes out in less than 20 seconds like as soon as I get to the front of the line my order is done like its absolutely incredible and the workers here are really nice :)“

“I just saw a sign for gamjatang (감자탕) at what looked like just a chicken wing spot. Honestly, I had zero expectations since it didn’t seem like a place that specializes in it but I was craving it so much that I gave it a shot.

Wow. The broth was light and clean, the meat tasted really fresh and not greasy at all, and the flavors were super well-balanced. The service was friendly, and it was $15. I went in with no expectations at all and walked out completely satisfied.“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“Been going there for the past 30 years“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“Chick's deluxe sandwich is the GOAT chicken burger in NYC!
Great place to grab one, fast and welcoming staff. Guy Josh was specifically helpful! The man take the work responsibly and needs a raise 👏
Definitely, my first go to place for Chick-fil-A in a city“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Found this recommended as a hidden gem, and I'm glad we added it to our itinerary! We went during happy hour and we were very pleased with the quality and the quantity of food for the price. We got the half and half wings and they were delicious! They were a hearty size compared to most places that serve wings anymore. I plan to return the next time I'm in the city!“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“

“Honestly the chicken was better than expected and i loved their pick up window where i was able to easily walk up to pick up my togo. It's a small spot so if you work nearby just grab and go. Price is a real bargain ad well. But man the food is HEAVY! I was hungry but only could eat half the chicken on mac n cheese. Next time imma try fries io mac and cheese. My first time and it was very memorable.“

“We need Jollibee here to build in Showlow Az“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“Some places don’t look like much from the outside…
the kind of small restaurant you might drive past without realizing something beautiful is waiting inside…..But those are often the places where LOVE lives.
That’s exactly what we encountered at Tender Crush. The main ingredient here wasn’t just the food….. it was love.
You could feel it in every interaction.

From the kindness of the associate at the front…
to the chef coming out personally to greet us…
to the manager genuinely wanting to know how everything tasted…

WOW. WOW. WOW.

And the food? Absolutely AMAZING.

The crispy chicken…
the creamy mac and cheese…(we ordered 2x)
the golden French fries…
and the desserts.. unforgettable.(thank you 😉 )

But what made this experience stand out was the joy behind it all.
Nothing felt forced or routine.
It felt like people who truly care about what they do and the people they serve.

Thank you for interrupting the routine of life with a dining experience we’ll remember. 💛

The pictures don’t do it justice but I tried …“

“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.“

“THE BEST OF THE BEST! You can literally see the freshness in this picture. The taste *chefs kiss*
Highly recommend to ask for all the greens
(lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion) inside as well as any sauces you may like. ASK FOR MAYO they don’t give it out unless you ask.

I saw a review saying they didn’t have cheese in their sandwich. So I did just want to say
THE ONLY BURGER THAT COMES WITH CHEESE IS A CHEESEBURGER!
Any other sandwich you would need to add it on.
A chicken sandwich normally comes in a pita bread UNLESS STATED THAT YOU WANT IT IN A BUN!

PRO TIP! ADD AVOCADO SLICES TO ANY SALAD OR BURGER you won’t regret it!“

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

“Been going there for the past 30 years“

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

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

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

“The fried chicken here is insane! What a deal as well.

The pieces are gigantic and the sides are incredible. I'd recommend getting the fried chicken with the mac salad and at least 2 sauces. The umami scallion and the sweet chipotle soy is a combo that is out of this world.

The kimchi coleslaw is also great. If you're not feeling fried chicken, the huli huli chicken is also amazing. Tender juicy and well seasoned. I wish it was a tad juicier but can't complain, it comes with this amazing rice which makes for a great meal.

I'd take this fried chicken over fluffies next door any day of the week.“

“Sabroso y fresco , ambiente familiar y acogedor. Rápida Y cordial atención sus precios razonables.“

“I visited Chick-fil-A in New York and had a great experience. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor, with perfectly seasoned sandwiches and fresh sides. The service was quick, efficient, and notably friendly, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. The space was clean and well-organized, ideal for a casual meal. Everything felt consistent and satisfying. Chick-fil-A is definitely a reliable spot I’ll return to.“

“Tight quarters and in order to use the bathroom you have to show the security guard at the front your reciept to unlock the bathroom for you in the back makes me wonder what happen there its a pain and majes me wish I never have a bathroom emergency there“

“The chicken is good. Not a fan of the fries. Sometimes they seem undercooked, sometimes they are darker in color. The line situation is the problem. Every time I go here, someone will walk right in and try to skip the entire line, and the servers don't say anything. They really need stanchions. Regular customer or not, it's rude.“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“Popeyes Wicked� Chicken only �4 great price when your on a budget fast, easy and for filling �� Add for a drink $1 more“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“I went to this popeyes last week when I was in New York. The atmosphere was terrible and the service was okay, but the chicken and sides were all super fresh and hot. Considering how expensive it is to eat in NYC, this was a nice reprieve after a long walk in Central Park.“

“Pretty solid two-for-one deal. Ordered online and everything arrived neatly packaged, which is a small but noteworthy positive. Not my favorite halal platter in the area but a good value with the deal - I have no regrets. Location is quite convenient too being right next to Central Park.“

“Awesome family run business. Usually the owner or his son behind the counter. Both take quality and service seriously despite the expected crowd at a CFC, A lot of places don't. Really cannot say enough to how kind and caring these people are, even about mundane requests.Food is also absolutely banger, it's a Crown Fried Chicken, if you know, you know. Have to have been back 5-10 times since

Dietary restrictions: Halal establishment“

““The chicken 🍗 here is absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed the flavors and quality. It would be even better if halal or kosher chicken options were available — that way more people in the community could enjoy your amazing food. Hope you consider adding it in the future! 🙌”“

“5 stars all the way. From the first day I stepped into the establishment until now there have been no complaints. Matter of fact every single time we went to buy food my husband and I always left more happy than the last time we stopped by. This place is worth your purchase. Also some spots sell fish and it's not that great but this spot has fresh fish all the time and it's amazing. The community agrees that when it comes to their chicken and fish they both are 50/50 to one another. The fish is so crispy and not dry, also not super salty. Oh my goodness their banana pudding YUM! 😋
Their desert are so delicious.“

“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.“
