👍👍 Great first impression. Buying fried chicken in Jersey City is very risky. This one is the cleanest!, Hands down. Not just that, the chicken wasn't salty, overcooked or just old like most other places. People often mention chicken, fried, Chicken, great,

    The delivery was a total nightmare. At first they said it'd take 45 min and they took 2hours and a half. When it finally came, the wings were TINY and the food wasn't hot.

    Ordering over the phone, someone there took my credit card # and used it on an online betting site and used $300. Be aware and DO NOT give them you're in info. Thieves work there.

    Great experience I have with Chicken Delight. Delivery is super fast. And their chicken is very delicious! As for the prices, they're very competitive. This was the 3rd time I order from them. I know where I'm getting my fried chicken from now on.

    The Chicken Delight chicken sandwich is the gold standard to which all other chicken sandwiches are held, and to which all others pale in comparison. No one does it better. 🐐

    Ordered take out. The chicken was very tasty. The fries were fine and the cole slaw wasn't bad. I would recommend this place for takeout

    Really good, made-to-order fried chicken. It very well may be the best in Jersey City, certainly at a fast food restaurant.

    I came here on a Friday night and ordered a 8 piece bucket with fries. It came to about $25 total. The staff was very friendly and courteous with me during the order. I had to wait about 10 minutes which was great, because that means they actually made the chicken fresh. I also noticed a sign "no trans fat used" for their cooking. The chicken came out piping hot. I love the hot sauce they have, because it's not typical hot sauce. It's a just a tad sweet and not as runny as typical hot sauce, but gave a great taste to the chicken. The fries were great as well. Now, let's get to the chicken. This was some of (If not the best) fried chicken I've had. This is coming from someone who has been at Kennedy's fried and other chicken spots all over NY. The chicken wasn't old, it was very juicy and the thighs had a LOT of meat. The chicken wasn't greasy or soaked in oil. The coating was delicious and flavorful. The rolls were AMAZING and not the typical Kennedy rolls. My mother loved the chicken so much, while driving to our next destination, we had to switch seats so that she could eat some more . I didn't get to grab any pictures, as I was too busy chowing down. Check this spot out.

    You should know this is how Fundamental fried Chicken is. Not too salty, not too oily but super crispy, juicy inside. Have been around JSQ area for years but found it today. Feels too late.

    I guess it's old and nostalgic/ historic for Jersey City ..It was good fried Chicken, sort of like the elders ...I wish I would have had Frank's Red Hot.. I put ** that on everything! I'm betting hot sauce would have been over the top!

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is awesome. Ribs are my favorite. For your sweet tooth, get the banana pudding. It's up there!

  • 5/5 holistiCups H. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great! Chicken wasnt oil and was nice and crispy with great flavor. The sides all were good and portion size was good as well. They even sent us a free mac salad and banana pudding bc they were a little late (just like 10 min). Def recommend

    Delicious fried chicken to take out. Would love to see the addition of some rice and gravy added to the menu.

  • 5/5 John S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Luis S. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious chicken. Best in the country. My favorite fried chicken spot for over 40yrs.

  • 3/5 Steve S. 2 years ago on Google
    We liked the chicken but the powdered mashed potatoes were a disappointment. I would take it to five stars if the mashed potatoes were made fresh.

    Best fried chicken spot for fast food. Their banana pudding is the best in jersey city as well.
