Brand new Chick Rocks!
There are so many great fried chicken shacks it's hard to keep up. I first encountered Chick Rocks in a downtown Flushing food court a few years ago and at the time thought to myself 'wow', this is a hidden gem. It looks like they are now expanding into standalone restaurants with the Astoria and now the Jackson Heights locations. The folks are friendly and it looks like they are still gearing up for business.
Chick Rocks' differentiates based on being Halal and the method of incorporating spices in the breading. Their spicy version definitely adds a kick and had me reaching for a thirst quencher. I do believe they only have legs, thigh, and wings which are the juicer pieces. They also have non traditional chicken shacks items like rice bowls and spaghetti options as well. I haven't tried their sides.
This location is in an area where driving is close to impossible during the day.
On the chicken alone, Chick Rocks is a serious contender for the best. I'd come back. read more
