The most amazing rotisserie chicken! It was so juicy and so good. We also had the kids, chicken fingers and fries and everything was so fresh and juicy. And the cake is divine. I would recommend everything on the menu and we will be back.!!

A decent delivery option in the area. I got chicken wings and ribs with sauce and both were really flavorful and well cooked, but I did wish that both were bigger. I prefer the chicken to the pork though.<br><br>I also really like their Tenders and the Rice and Beans was really surprisingly great
Super yummy gyro and cheesesteak. Took a bit longer to get our food than we hoped, but it was delicious and reasonably priced.
Five Stars all around! We’ve been going to Chirping Chicken for years—and I mean years (well over 16 at this point). We moved away for a bit and genuinely missed it, so being back and able to have it regularly again has been such a win.<br><br>As busy professionals trying to stay consistent with the gym and eat clean, it’s honestly a blessing to have a spot like this. You can grab a whole grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, and a salad and know you’re getting something fresh, high-protein, and actually satisfying—not just “healthy” but still bland.<br><br>Our go-to is the whole chicken special with two sides—great value, super convenient, and always hits after a workout or long day.<br><br>It’s also become our go-to when hosting friends. Everyone we’ve introduced to Chirping Chicken ends up loving it—and a few of them now go regularly too.<br><br>Clean, consistent, affordable, and just really good food. Grateful to have this place in the neighborhood.----Thanks to the Chirping team!-Raul
I went to Chirping chicken because it was late and it was a block from my hotel and it blew my mind. First of all, the vibes are amazing. The service was so sweet and warm. Prices are extremely reasonable. And the food was SO GOOD. I got the chicken gyro sandwich and every single bite was bursting with flavor. This is the first time I’ve been in New York in more than 10 years and this is the first meal I had in the city, and it was such a wonderful experience.
Wow, what an incredible experience. First the chicken was unbelievable, hard to go back to your own cooking after that. It was flavorfull, juicy and cooked to perfection. Second the service was great, a true New York classic. The staff made us feel right at home. Will be coming back. You can’t beat the price either.
I went to Chirping Chicken and had the juiciest grilled chicken I’ve ever tasted. The salad was unbelievably fresh, the rice and pita were perfect, and the tzatziki sauce was delicious. Everything was flavorful and tasted so fresh. Definitely coming back.
Whenever I’m in New York, I always come here. Best chicken in town!
My wife and I needed a late night bite before a comedy show and found this great place to eat. Great owner and/or operator that served us. Some owners/operators don’t have good business sense, but this guy got it! We got the 1/4 chicken meal with pita, salad and fries and it was all great. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll be back.
Great food and service. Owner was working on a Saturday - says a lot about the standard of quality. Grilled halloumi is a must try.
Came to grab a quick bite before heading out for the night. The guys are super friendly, great food and very clean atmosphere!
The shawarma chicken was moist and mouthwatering! The green salad was fresh.Portions are generous and staff are friendly. I would eat here again. I am ordering the lamb chop next time.
I worked in the area for years and always bypassed this NYC HIDDEN GEM because of the name! I’m a pescatarian so “Chicken” scared me off! Thankfully my coworker brought me here and I was pleasantly surprised! They have plenty of seafood and vegetarian options and the food is delicious! Everything was fresh and great portions! I highly recommend! This is my new favorite place
Top quality ingredients. Fresh and tasty meats and vegetables. Very good portions and honest prices. Cherry on the pie is the service, fantastic friendly people work here
When I lived in the city, I would go here often. I drove by today, and I just had to stop. The restaurant is clean, bright, and relatively good seating. For what you pay you, get a ton of food for the price. Very selective menu with so much to choose from. Outdoor parking is not ideal, so I recommend being in the neighborhood or ordering ahead and picking it up yourself.<br><br>Overall, great place because you get a lot of food for the price you pay
