If you haven't been to Pecking House yet, consider this your sign to go. The restaurant has become…read morea favorite among the Gen Z crowd, and after one bite of its signature chili-fried chicken, it's easy to understand why. The chicken is crunchy, intensely flavorful, and carries just the right amount of heat. Each piece is buttermilk-brined, country-fried, and dusted with Sichuan peppercorns, Tianjin chilis, and five-spice, creating a combination that's spicy, numbing, savory, and deeply addictive all at once. But the menu goes beyond the famous fried chicken. Seasonal dishes rotate regularly, alongside standout chicken sandwiches and wings that deserve just as much attention. There's an energy to the food that feels modern without losing sight of technique or tradition. That balance comes directly from chef and founder Eric Huang. Huang grew up working in his family's Chinese restaurant while training as a cellist at Juilliard School before eventually abandoning music. After a detour studying history at Northwestern University, he committed fully to cooking and spent more than a decade training in some of NYC's most prominent kitchens, including Cafe Boulud, Gramercy Tavern, and Eleven Madison Park. As a sous chef at Eleven Madison Park, he was part of the team that helped the restaurant earn the title of "Best Restaurant in the World" in 2017. Like many chefs, Huang's plans changed dramatically in 2020 when the pandemic interrupted his ambitions of opening a Michelin-starred restaurant. Instead, he returned home to help save his family's struggling business. Out of that difficult moment came the dish that would define Pecking House: the now-famous Sichuan chili country fried chicken, reportedly perfected on the very first attempt. Pecking House succeeds because it combines serious culinary pedigree with food that's delicious, craveable, and unpretentious. The fried chicken alone is worth the trip and the long line.

The crinkle fries are the best not salty. The sweet tea on the other hand tastes like water with sugar you're better off getting a diet soda! I Wish they offered water or plain seltzer for those that don't drink soda at all. It's a healthier alternative option! The Texas toast WOW I order extra! So good fresh crispy and well seasoned! They should have a cheese option that would be amazing! The service is super fast if they are busy the manager( I think it was the manager) was out front helping today and he apologized for the delay! That is amazing customer service! The restaurant is so clean it's always full but the booths and seats are clean! I love that they are always stocked well with napkins and extras at the counter! And finally the secret sauce is OUTSTANDING!!

They give you a large portion of fries and sides but not enough chicken in comparison. If it were up to me I'd skip the fries and just opt for extra tenders, canes sauce, and slaw. The fries are crinkle cut and have no color or crisp. Ask for extra canes sauce. The people who work here are always friendly and upbeat with the restaurant itself being brand new. Give them a try!

Ordered 4 of the same meals, came out to $100. One had dietary restriction- no egg, no pork, no sausage. The other had an allergy restriction- no egg. The reminder orders were good. The dietary one, had egg in it!!! I had to check the allergy one before I gave it to the person for fear we would need an epiPen. Luckily but still cautious, we didn't. The dietary one couldn't eat the food though, it was given away to a homeless person. We were too far in another city by the time we released the mistake on foods, hence why I said check everything. The taste: it lacked flavor. The best thing on the plate was the Maduros (sweet plantains), avocado, and that green sauce (which they only give small containers for purchase). Would I recommend? Not really. If in a pinch maybe.

The meat, sauce, and pickles were all to my liking. The bread was just ok, it started crumbling at some point, so in the future I'd consider chicken without the bread. I got the mac and cheese and I just thought it was ok - kind of grainy, which surprised me because others on yelp spoke highly of it. Maybe it was just an off night. I'd return but I'd switch up my order.

Peruvian? Caribbean? Somewhere in between? What kind of cuisine is this?…read more In any event, the rotisserie chicken is not to be messed with. It is full of flavor, albeit not that cheap considering this hole in the wall restaurant is located in an iffy part of Crown Heights. There is nowhere to eat here. Just take your food, walk up to Eastern Parkway, and eat it there... if you are brazen enough. I am not, so I walked to the Nostrand Ave subway station (on the 3 train) and took a roughly 30 minute subway ride home. The sides I got were the coleslaw (it is a vinegar-based slaw, not a mayonnaise based), and the roasted potatoes. They both taste great, along with the famed "green sauce", which is really a spicy Peruvian garlic sauce. No fooling me! I drank this stuff by the gallon when I lived in Virginia. If you get a combo, you also get their famed cornbread, but my goodness is it dense. It feels heavy in the hand, but also contains heavy flavor. They even cook corn bits into the bread itself! Really unique take and something I can definitely appreciate. The Bird is definitely the word here.

I went with delivery and got the half chicken with two sides - collard greens and squash. The chicken was nicely seasoned but not a ton of meat. The sides were very generous and exactly what I expected. The collard greens were fresh and not overly salty or bitter. I would have preferred less oil on the squash. The two sides were more than enough for one person. They give you a few choices for dipping sauces. I went with the green sauce and the harissa sauce. The green sauce was by far my favorite. The harissa was good too, a bit spicy. If you can only choose one sauce, go with the green. The green went better with the chicken. Would order again with a larger side of sauce.
