Gold standard for fried food. Everything crispy and fresh, lots of sauces included without asking, not skimping on servings, food made fast and to order. Perfect.

Grew up in Brooklyn with Chicken Delight. :) Moved to LA, CA in '75...none there. :( Living in Chicago since '85...none here. :( Worked in Jersey City from '15 to '18. When I found you again, I ordered weekly and got co-workers to join in. Having been in the 3 largest cities/areas...I can say this is the best chicken out there. Hopefully they can ship to IL for my birthday this month and other future family events.

I've been coming to this chicken spot for quite some time now. The chicken is fried well and the food is deliciously on point. The portions at times can be off but what you lack in size you get in taste. The dinner rolls are hilariously small in comparison to your chicken . The fries are large but can at times be extremely hard to the point of hurting the roof of your mouth. The desserts ( I recommend the banana pudding) are fairly priced and very delicious. The indoor area is small and can fit 3-4 adults standing , you're better off outside in the searing area but the seats are unstable so be careful . Overall for price and taste I say it's affordable and able to feed at least 1-2 people if you're ordering the delight dinner. If you're in jersey city and want a decent chicken spot that doesn't break the bank. Come here

A must visit in Jersey City. The chicken was immaculate, perfectly crispy and juicy as ever. The vibes of the joint are great too, but the greatest thing is the staff. They walked me through the menu, and were super helpful as well as incredibly friendly. Without a doubt I am going back.

Chicken was good just make sure you get the pieces you're supposed too get they tried too give me a extra leg instead of one of my breast and I had a 12 piece

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.

I have been coming to this place ever since I was young. They are a staple here in Mcginley square area. I think they beat Popeyes in flavor! I usually just get bucket of chicken with fries. Do not waste your time ordering the buns. I wish they had biscuits and this place would be the perfect package.

After moving to the US from Istanbul in 2015 and trying the KFC here, I was left unsatisfied with my experience. I love dry wings, and although there are a lot of delicious wings here in the US I never got that same feeling that I did from the KFC in Turkey. Any time I ate wings here, the delicious flavor was just a different kind of delicious. When I moved to Jersey City over a year ago, Chicken Delight was the first place I tried, on my second day here. I had the Wing Special, which is three wings and a roll. The roll is just your basic roll, but the wings are full wings, including the wing tip. I'm not used to this, coming from the half-wings of KFC, although I've had it at Popeyes in the US. Now, at Popeyes I never want to even touch the wing tips, but when I ate these wings I liked them so much I wanted to keep eating! I ate the crispy bits and even between the bones, it was really that good. I've been eating from there regularly ever since. It's nice for me since I'm only a few minutes walking distance from the restaurant and I can just call 15 minutes ahead of time. They don't have chicken just sitting there waiting, probably due to the high volume of customers, but if you do it like I do you can get your chicken fresh, hot and crispy! Now, although the Wing Special is great, I do enjoy dipping wings in gravy and other sauces, so I did want to have the classic, smaller version of the wings as well. Plus, I don't really care about the rolls so I was looking for other options. Since I thought that this is how big they make wings, I never bothered buying the 10 Hot buffalo wings option. When I was visited by a friend of mine, we ended up purchasing this and to my surprise, the wings were half sized! We ended up going back and getting another order of 15 wings! This has been my go-to ever since. The wings are on the small side, but delicious to the bone. Really well seasoned, not too oily, savory goodness. I don't personally want the hot sauce, so I ask for no sauce and they are still kind enough to give me some on the side every time. They haven't messed up once! I have also tried their gravy, and while it is actually delicious, it is also kept in a plastic container in the heat so it always has a plastic tinge to it, I'm sad to say I don't recommend it. The first time I bought it, I couldn't stop eating even though I felt like I was eating plastic, that's how good I think the gravy is otherwise! If only they could switch to paper containers, I would love to order this as well. Other sides like the coleslaw and the macaroni salad can be nice if you're with multiple people but they're too sweet for my taste. Another item that they actually added after I started going there is the Chicken Sandwich. It's on a regular sized bun and the chicken inside is thin, crispy and wider than the bun itself. It has a nice sauce and two or three pickles. Usually one is enough but on a hungry day I can go for two of these! Also, my partner and I LOVE their banana pudding. There is a place called Baonanas near us that has really good reviews and they make all kinds of banana puddings but... I think theirs is better! Strawberry cheesecake is okay. If you're going to try any dessert, I suggest you go for the pudding. It has real bananas and nilla wafers. DELICIOUS. The food being as good it is, the real thing that keeps me coming back to Chicken Delight is the people. The staff there is always nice to me, from the manager to the usual cook, the very nice lady at the front and even the guy who covers the weekend shifts. I'm so glad I found this place when I first moved in, and when I move again I think I might come back for more!

I decided to give Chicken Delight a try since I had a craving for some chicken wings. We ordered 6 pieces chicken dinner, hot wings, corn nuggets and fries. Overall, everything tasted good! If you like a slide sweetness in your food, you would like them. Chicken, corn nuggets and fries were crispy. Chicken was very tender and juicy.
