What started as a delivery operation with weeks-long waiting lists now has a permanent home in Prospect Heights. Pecking House’s new counter-service location looks a bit like a small cafeteria at a trendy tech company, but it’s a perfectly fine place to consume large amounts of poultry. Your priority should be the chili fried chicken with thick, crunchy skin covered in a firecracker dry rub, which you can get in a huge sandwich or as a meal with sides. If you’re looking to skip the spice, they also have a new chicken option with a salted egg crust slathered in a relish that has a nice pickled taste. You won’t be disappointed by any of the sides, but make sure to include the rich, flavorful duck heart gravy mashed potatoes.

Rowdy Rooster is an Indian takeout spot in the East Village with a great fried chicken sandwich and an even better vada pao.

Chick Chick on the UWS serves an entire menu dedicated to Korean fried chicken, and you should (in turn) dedicate yourself to their entire menu.

Chicken, waffles, an unpretentious vibe, and communal atmosphere are the things that make us love Sweet Chick.
