My sis-n-law and her now husband reserved this place for a wedding rehearsal dinner. This is one of their favorite places, and they fell in love here during the pandemic before it was a brick and mortar place. So they shared it with us all. The staff greeted us right away and shared a little about what makes this place and the food so special. We had a pre-planned menu that was so good! And so much food! The flavors on everything continued to amaze the table. I could rant about the chicken, but I'll just put a plug in for the cheddar cornbread! Get it!! One thing I loved was the self-serve water station had two spouts--one for still and one for sparkling. Brilliant and thoughtful. So glad we came here! read more

Pecking House - Wedding rehearsal menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came to this fast casual spot after seeing it all over tiktok and it did not disappoint. We got the classic sando, the salted egg quarter chicken, and the chili half chicken with chicken salt fries and dirty friend rice on the side. The classic sando was pretty big and I really enjoyed how the crunchy chicken paired with the soy sauce pickles. The sandwich was perfectly moist from the juicy chicken and the house sauce and definitely worth a try when you come. (7.5/10) The salted egg chicken was super unique. I enjoyed how the umami taste of the salted egg and would definitely recommend this to those looking to try something new. (8/10) As a spice lover, the chili half chicken was definitely my favorite. The chili sauce that it is coated in was divine and you can tell that the chili oil is made in house with a unique taste. Also the half chicken came with both dark and white meat and both pieces were equally as tender and juicy. (9/10) The chicken salt fries were addicting and the dirty fried rice was one of my favorite parts of this meal. (8.5/10) The staff was super friendly and helpful with the menu and the seating is limited. Would definitely come back on my next trip to NY! read more

Juicy in the inside, crunchy and crispy on the outside, this fried chicken was so good it had me thinking about it afterward. I got the salted egg sauce and the umami from the salted egg combined with the chicken was such a great combo. I highly recommend. The corn bread was also good but probably not worth the amount I paid for. Overall the food was good, the price was decent. read more

Love their chili chicken meal - WOW! The thigh was so soft, crunchy, nicely seasoned + meaty. Super flavorful! The cheddar cornbread w/ apple honey was also divine - tasted like a cake. The chili chicken sando was also super delicious! The watermelon drink was ok. Tons of indoor seating. Staff was friendly. read more

It's fun when a spot is removed from the bookmarks and added to the rotation. The chili chicken was a knockout, growing spicier as time passes (and also messier than it looks, try not to get sauce on your phone). While few vegetarians will be looking for a spot that offers dishes like mashed potatoes with duck heart, there's a clear commitment to bold flavors here no matter what you get. The butterbean salad with black vinegar was far more assertive than the usual side items. There's free sparkling water. read more

Glad I got to try this in NY and not as a pop up in SF where the waits would have been crazy. A casual Tuesday lunch for 3. We ordered Chili flavored half chicken - regular spicy I think? It was great, a little kick, nothing crazy and slightly sweet. I was worried about a "too numbing" flavor but that wasn't the case and it was pretty good. salted egg wings - YUM!!!! this flavor was so good on the wing, crispy, juicy, well flavored! we should have ordered another one haha. turnip with miso butter - oh you know, we thought it was healthy-ish to fight the heavy chicken lol but it was nice. pretty tasty actually, you do taste the...pine nuts? yummy too. very different as a side. overall it was yummy, I think it helps there's no line, no frills. definitely would get again! read more

I really wish I could've tried the famous fried chicken that went viral but alas because it was not halal I had to try one of the veggie options which was the mushroom poboy. It was just mid to say the least and way too salty. I get that this is primarily a fried chicken spot and did appreciate there were two veggie friendly sandwiches on the menu but it was a total miss for me. My friend really liked it though! So guess it really is whatever your palate favors. I personally liked how chewy and firm the bread was vs my friend not so much so it's definitely something I can see people being divided over but I didn't think it was worth the visit or the stomach space. But my curiosity was satiated! Appreciated there was a water station. read more

Pecking House - Tried the Blackened Chicken Sando (not too spicy but had a smoky taste) and the Chili Chicken Sando (tasted a little bit sweeter) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Finally tried this pandemic hype spot. Salted Egg Fried Chicken - I love salted egg typically, I sort of feel like it has salted egg's heaviness yet the tastiness. It was greasy. After half chicken I couldn't eat anymore of this flavor. Chili Fried Chicken - it was better, spicy, flavorful with five spice, soak in chili oil though. It tasted better than Salted Egg one. Corn Bread - dry Dirty Rice - nothing special, no chicken liver flavor Bean Salad - beans were undercooked Cucumber Slaw (?) - it was fine/normal Fried Chicken Sandwich - safe item it was pretty good Ghost Pepper Wing - it was served cold, like right out of fridge. Had a thought that David Chang served cold fried chicken as well, but this was way too cold... Almond Panna Cotta & Peach - it's the almond extract flavor (I don't mind it) and canned or sugar soaked peach, overall is a bit too sweet. I'm glad I finally tried, but honestly, way too expensive for what it is! $30 for 3 fried chicken in BK, might as well go to Coqodaq for their Bucket for $38. read more

A little overhyped, but glad I visited to say that we tried. Inside there are a couple of booth seats and stools to sit by the bar. There are also water cups that you can refill on your own with either sparkling or still water. - Dirty fried rice: 3/5; dry, lacking flavor - Mala fried chicken: 4.5/5; nice szechuan spice, with a good numbing kick. Use the excess chili oil to soak up the dirty fried rice. A nice stop in Brooklyn, but a little gimmicky with the fusion concept. I would recommend going to Chinatown Brooklyn if you're looking for somewhere more authentic with better mala flavor.. :3c read more

I was told by someone to try their chili fried chicken & I finally was able to come here! We came here on a weekday (Monday) at 6pm + it was a bit slow (only 2 staff, 1 took orders + 1 brought you the food items). So if you are in a rush to go somewhere (like a concert at Barclay's) then this may not be ideal. Ordering was very easy (you order at the register next to the door) + they give you a numbered stand if you dine in. There were a few tables w/ chairs for indoor dining. Love that they have a water dispenser (sparkling or still water) to choose from. There is even a box of gloves for those who don't want to dirty their hands. Tons of wipes were also available. We ordered to share: 1) 2 piece chili chicken meal w/ 1 side (we chose the cheddar cornbread w/ apple honey), 2) Chili Chicken Sando, 3) Watermelon drink. 2 piece chili chicken meal - WOOOOW! I had no expectations and was utterly surprised at how delicious the chili chicken pieces were! The thigh was so soft and meaty & soooo crunchy + nicely seasoned. The breast was also soft but not as soft as the thigh + it was super meat & crunchy + nicely seasoned. The chili oil & spice they put on the outside was not severely spicy but it had a very nice kick to it. So much flavors going on in these chickens! Super delicious & I would reorder this meal again. The side we chose was the cheddar cornbread w/ apple honey + it was so soft, delicious, flavorful w/ the right amount of sweetness. I felt like I was eating a cake haha. Chili Chicken Sando (duck fat chili oil, kewpie mayo, bread and butter pickles, milk bread) - WOOWWW! I loveed this sando so much! The milk bread was so soft + fluffy. The chili chicken piece was so meaty and well seasoned + crunchy. That pickle + kewpie mayo paired so well + elevated the sando. I would reorder this in a heartbeat! YUM!! Watermelon drink - this was very light and not very sweet. You do taste some watermelon in there. The sparkling water was refreshing, but the still water was the best tasting. I would come back here to try their other items! YUM! read more

Came on a hungry day and tried out their quarter chicken with salted egg. I like the light crisp to the chicken skin and it wasn't heavy. The salted egg also added umami and richness. The dirty rice complimented it well, but I do wish it had more to it. Eating along side with the chicken is really good, but by itself was plain. read more

Great food and a chill vibes. It's order upfront and find a spot to sit, I really liked the casual vibes. I got the pecking chicken sammie (w/foie gras) and had the two spicey two piece chicken with the cauliflower rice. The sammie was huge and delicious. Perfect crunch, super juicy. The foie gras add on was a generous portion and made the sammie super fatty and filling. I'd probably skip the add on next time as it was a great sammie by it self. The two piece chicken was huge, again with the perfect crunch and spice. The way it was spiced was very different than other places, but super good. Also the side was fantastic. Definitely drop by for a taste if you're near. read more

I'm [currently] no stranger to fried chicken, and when I heard about Queens born and raised and Eleven Madison Park trained Eric Huang opening this ode to fried chicken, I waited in line along with the rest of legion of fans when he opened this location. I had read about the 10,000 person-long waitlist he had when Pecking House was just a pop-up out of his parent's Chinese restaurant in Queens, but I wasn't a chicken-eater at the time. Having gone back to Pecking House for multiple visits now the place has made me a true fried chicken convert. Chef's skills are clear across the menu-- one bite and you can basically taste the Gramercy Tavern and EMP pedigree coming off the chicken, which I tried in both the salted yolk and spicy batter. His spicy batter is signature-- that Sichuan spice rub has so much depth of flavor and is the flavor you should get. If you're a salted egg yolk stan like me, you'll be more than satisfied with the chicken in this flavor. Of course, no chicken meal is complete without the sides-- I love their dirty fried rice, heirloom bean salad, and cheddar cornbread the most. I tried to venture outside the chicken meals and also ordered the mapo tofu sandwich made with yuba, but I'd skip that next time, as well as the wet wings-- they just paled in comparison to the main event and sides. PB dessert is full of great texture from all the crunchies on top of the ice cream, and their affordable prices and casual environment mean I can get my fine dining fix without breaking the bank. read more

I have mixed feelings about Pecking House. I saw some stuff on socials about it, and have been really excited to try it for a while now. Some of the food lived up to the hype for me, but most of it didn't. I thoroughly enjoyed the Chili Chicken Sandwich, but the sides were not particularly impressive. The potato salad wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable either. The same could be said about the cornbread. And then there was the salted egg chicken. It was pretty bland, and it left a kind of chalky feeling in my mouth after. Wasn't super impressed. The staff were friendly, and the space was nice, but I don't know if it really was everything I had hoped. The TLDR: get the Chili Chicken Sandwich, and you'll have a good time. read more

Too much chili oil or something was off in the ratio last time I went. I have a pretty high spice tolerance and it wasn't really that it was too spicy it just left a weird taste in my mouth. It was almost unenjoyable not because of the flavor necessarily but the effect. It was like too much of a good thing and I couldn't appreciate the flavor anymore because it was overwhelming. I also didn't love the blackened chicken flavor wise. Would still go back but not quite as consistent as I'd hoped. read more

The countless Instagram reels that are circulating around is what brought us in one afternoon to get 2 Spicy Chicken Sandwiches, officially on the menu as PICANTE CHICKEN SANDWICHES. Straightforward ordering, none of the sides seemed tempting enough to order any of them. Order was ready in no time. We couldn't wait to get home to try these bad boys. The brioche bun was soft and lightly toasted. The Fuqi chili sauce and pickled jalapeños are the only sources of spice and heat in the sandwich; none of which even raised the temperature of palate. The chicken is marvelously crunchy and moist but not spicy at all. The Oaxaca cheese saved the sandwich for me. I'm one and done on Pecking House. read more

I have eaten here twice in the span of 3 days. My brother recommended this and since my husband and I were in the area we decided to try it. The first time we went we ordered the salted egg half chicken, the chili chicken jr and the cucumber side. That salted egg was excellent! It was very rich and you could taste every artery being blocked but it was worth it! The sandwich was so good as well. The chili flavor wasn't as strong as I was expecting but it was really good! The cucmbers were a little bitter for my taste but overall it went well with the chicken flavor. The second time we went we got the half chicken in chili, the classic sando and the kale salad. Everything was a five star! The kale salad was so good (I dipped some of the chicken in the dressing) The sando was so good! I loved the soy pickles! If I'm in the area I will definitely be back! read more

I've heard a lot about this place and was excited to try it out but unfortunately was met with disappointment. First, this is on me as I ordered the tofu sandwich at a chicken shop. It was only after I ordered that I read the reviews on the tofu sandwich here (again, another rookie mistake. I blame myself for this) and realized I made a mistake. There were no great reviews on the sandwich and now I know why. The bread is the only redeeming factor. The sandwich was mainly sauce and the avocado helped in flavor. Now for the chicken - we had the chili spice and salted egg. The crunch factor is there for the salted egg but the flavor was not. The chili crunch flavor was much better but the crunch wasn't there. The dirty rice was mediocre and the charred cucumbers were not for me. The best part of the whole meal were the fries which were perfectly crispy. Will I come again? Most likely not unless I'm treated to a free meal. read more

Got the salted egg yolk chicken and felt like it was a unique flavor but honestly kinda subtle. The chicken itself was pretty moist but the salted egg yolk was a little drying. The cornbread was also pretty good with honey but not the best ive ever had. Super casual and good amount of seating. It was not too busy when i went on a saturday afternoon read more

Fast casual Chinese/Southern fusion, specializing in fried chicken and elevated comfort food sides. They also have an interesting selection of vegetarian items. This location near Barclays Center is the original, but feels oddly sterile compared to the one in Chinatown. My husband did not enjoy their fried chicken, stating that it was overly oily, and that the salted egg breading left a strange powdery texture/bitter aftertaste in his mouth. I opted for their Ma Po Tofu Molete Sando, which contained a generous pile of yuba and avocado. I liked how saucy the sandwich was; the juices soaked into the bread, making it a pleasantly soggy knife and fork situation. However, the flavors were incredibly one-note. Salt, soy sauce, salt. The sides were similarly underwhelming, and unfortunately, we ordered all of them. The fries were overcooked, the butterbean and potato salads were profoundly bland, the cheddar cornbread dry and mealy. The only side worth eating was the glazed turnips with miso butter, which were perfectly cooked, and topped in a vibrant chimichurri. read more

This restaurant has been popping up on my tiktok as having some of the best Chinese fried chicken in Brooklyn, very happy I got to check it out! Upon entering the restaurant, it was clean & inviting. The service was fast and courteous. There is a sign up front letting you know to place your order at the counter then have a seat Since this was my 1st visit, I opt to try the 2 piece chili chicken meal that came with 1 side- I chose the cheddar corn bread with apple honey ($18) + a side of green garlic ranch ($2) The chicken was fried perfectly. The skin was crispy and the inside was juicy. Definitely happy we got the garlic ranch - it helped compliment the spices on the chili chicken They also sell sandwiches, beer & wine- will definitely try a chicken sando next visit! read more

Came back again to try their Chili Crunch Chicken and it absolutely knocked it out of the park. The chicken was crispy, a little numby,full of flava and SO MOIST. As in like, this is one of the few places where I've had an actual MOIST chicken breast. I basically never get chicken breast personally because no matter how much people usually hype it up, it always ends up being way too dry and tough in my opinion. That's almost why I always stick with dark meat, it's a safer option and even when it's messed up, it's usually at least not dry as all hell. This place though, the chicken breast is genuinely super juicy and flavorful, and is one of the few places where I'd go back and get it again. Seriously, props on the chicken breast. The sides I got this time were dirty fried rice and cauliflower gratin and while the fried rice definitely could have been "dirtier" the cauliflower gratin was cheesey and just hit that spot perfectly. Service was nice as well and they do mention that there is a $2 upcharge if you get either all white meat or all dark meat so take that into consideration. I'd opt for a breast,thigh, and leg for the 3 piece meal. I definitely didn't regret getting it this time! I'll be back sometime for sure! read more

Been wanting to come here for a while now and had the opportunity when I found myself in Prospect Heights. You order at the register grab a number and find a seat at a table or the long bar. The food took a while coming out but boy was it worth it. My brother got the classic sando and it was excellent. I got the chili chicken sando and it transcended me to another level. The fried chicken was perfectly crisp with a tender and not chewy inside. We also added the dirty fried rice and honey cornbread. Dirty fried rice was very good but the cheddar honey cornbread was something to write home about. It wasn't dry and the honey added a great sweetness. I will be back and will continue to think about it until I do. read more

I first had Pecking House when it was a pop-up with a crazy waitlist during the pandemic, and I'm so glad they now have a brick-and-mortar! Thankfully, it seems like the hype has died down as the place was pretty empty when I came on a weekday afernoon. This place is worth the trek! I got the chicken sandwich and the chili chicken sando to share, and the chicken was unbelievably moist and juicy in both sandwiches. The spice in the chili chicken sandwich was pretty tolerable, and that's coming from someone who can't handle any spice at all. It was mostly spicy from the chili oil with a little bit of that numbing spice. The milk bread was so soft and soaked up some of the sauce from the chicken. I do think the regular chicken sandwich was my favorite though. The soy pickles were a nice touch, and the brioche was a perfect bread for the sandwich. I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could also try the salted egg fried chicken, but this meal was so filling. Next time! read more

It's been a while since I've had a unique fried chicken experience especially given how popular Korean fried chicken and American fried chicken places are. Pecking house servers more Taiwanese/Chinese style fried chicken flavors, especially the salted egg yolk one. I opted for the meal set that came with 2 pieces and a side - choosing the salted egg yolk and chili flavors with green garlic ranch alongside the grilled cucumber salad. While the chicken was crispy and juicy, the cucumber salad was a little disappointing so I would definitely recommend a different side. This place is definitely worth trying if your a fan of fried chicken! read more

In this second visit, our 3:45 pm 2-piece chili fried chicken meal wasn't as spectacular as our memory from when they first opened. The fried chicken is still really, really good. The glistening crispy coating drowning in a mala chili oil is a thrilling experience. The flavors are loud, heart-pounding. Our bone-in breast was--gasp--a little dry! The bigger letdown was the butterbean salad side. I remember it being excellent, lively with toasted sesame coating big creamy white- and black-colored beans. This time, the black beans were pedestrian regular-seeming black beans, and the sauce was more soy than sesame. The way we put it, Pecking House is good but not good enough for a special trip out to Brooklyn. Shoutout to the sparkling water spigot. Carbonation goes well with their chicken. read more

The salted egg chicken is a must try!! It tastes just like those salted duck egg chips you can get at the Asian grocery stores. The chicken is pretty hefty and juicy, and the crust was quite thick.

I made another Doordash order for Pecking House to try another flavor: Salted Egg Yolk. The 2 pcs Fried Chicken for $19.99 is very expensive even if it comes with a side. The salted egg flavor also wasn't that flavorful. I was honestly quite disappointed and wished I spent my money elsewhere. I ended up using my leftover Chick-fil-A sauce for my chicken because the salted egg yolk was really lacking. Where the heck is the hype for this place coming from? read more

Ordered: 3pc Chicken Meal (~$27): chili flavor with mix of white/dark meat & two sides of Heirloom bean salad with sesame and cheddar cornbread with apple honey Chicken Sandwich (~$16): Pecking House special sauce, caramelized onions, soy pickles, on a brioche bun Aya's take: We were in the area and stumbled upon Pecking House which I had seen on social media some time ago. I'm a self-proclaimed fried chicken connoisseur but rarely do I see Taiwanese chicken spots in NYC (aside from the ones at boba shops). The 3pc Chicken Meal is great for sharing as the chicken pieces are huge and they absolutely did not leave a single centimeter of the chicken untouched by the chili flavor. It was a bit too overwhelming and greasy for me personally. The chili flavor was smoky, spicy, and even a little earthy. The only issue is I couldn't taste much else; the chicken was super juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside but that was completely overpowered by the chili. If there's an option to choose the level of chili you want, I would've went with half as much. The sides were a bit confusing as none of them were traditional Taiwanese (to my knowledge) but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The Heirloom bean salad with sesame was light & fresh and balanced out the spiciness of the chicken. The cheddar cornbread was absolutely delectable; so soft, warm, and buttery and the apple honey is literal crack. I was dunking the cornbread in there. It was unbelievably satisfying! The Chicken Sandwich was the real winner in my eyes! The chicken had that satisfying crunch, it's made with dark meat which was super juicy and tender, and overall it was simple! The flavors of the special sauce, caramelized onions, and soy pickles married together nicely and brought out the best bite every single time. If you come here, that's the item to get! Glad I can now say I've tried Taiwanese Fried Chicken! read more

I knew I had to try Pecking House after seeing so many videos online. Walking in, you wouldn't think anything special but man their chicken definitely packs a punch. Our group of 3 shared the Fried Chicken Meal: Chili 3-Piece w/ 2 sides: dirty fried rice & cucumbers ($27) and Spicy Chicken Sando ($16). I'd say the price is fair for the amount of food we got because the pieces of chicken are huge! The chicken is so moist and tender and has the perfect crunch on the exterior. The chili wasn't too overpowering and the chicken wasn't too salty either. I was really surprised that they were able to get the chicken to be so flavorful and moist throughout even though the pieces are really thick. The sandwich was also very good, but it seemed a little dryer because of the bun. Next time I come, i'd definitely just get the chicken meal vs the sandwich but I think it's worth trying at least once. The sides I didn't care for that much. The dirty fried rice was pretty bland and wasn't anything special. The cucumbers also weren't very seasoned and didn't have the ginger flavor I was expecting. I would definitely give Pecking House a try if you're in the Brooklyn area and love fried chicken! Service can be a bit slow, but I think it's worth it given how fresh everything is. read more

Order at the counter, take a number plaque to any available table, and wait for staff to bring out your order. We waited quite a while, considering the place was empty save us and one other table. Staff are accommodating and courteous. Super casual set up--not a lot of seating available, so come on an off peak team to snag a table. Small menu. Steep prices for the portion size. Not a cheap treat. $18 two piece chicken meal with one side was tasty but expensive. Chili chicken was tasty--try it! First, you taste the sweetness of the batter and a minute after, you're hot with a kick of hotness that will clear your sinuses like nothing else. Light and crunchy batter that's simply perfectly executed. You'll drink a loooooot of water after! Stay hydrated throughout the meal! Heirloom bean salad was refreshing thanks to a tangy, sour-sweet-salty balsamic vinaigrette, which gave bland beans a nice kick. $16 pho chicken sandwich was underwhelming. We added $8foie gras, which was unfortunately a waste of money. $24 sandwich was unsatisfactory at best. Small, the chicken had too much batter and barely any meat. The foie gras was cold, and didn't combine well with the warm chicken. This sandwich combo is a great idea but it wasn't executed well. Need to warm up the foie gras so it at least complements the chicken and doesn't detract from the overall impression with its coldness. $7 chocolate peanut butter pudding was the highlight of the meal for my friend. I really enjoyed it as well. It wasn't sweet, just a balanced, lightly sweetened, creamy mouthfeel. Definitely a treat for those who aren't fans of saccharine desserts. A healthier option to satisfy your dessert craving. Watch out for the calories though, as peanut butter and chocolate are both very dense, heavy, and filling. read more

Updating my review to 5 stars after visiting here yesterday ! I picked up a 2 piece chili chicken meal with a side of dirty rice as well as an oyster mushroom poboy !! The chicken I had last time and like last time it didn't disappoint! It's unique with every bite packing a roasted star anise and yet peppery finish. Tasty ! And as someone else mentioned the skin goes really well with the dirty rice . As for the dirty rice ...I really liked it . It's a bit on the understated side but definitely provides that hearty comforting satisfaction that fans of the infamous Louisiana New Orleans side dish dirty rice are used to . After reading reviews my theory is the people who don't like this dish were expecting a fried rice dish or a variant of and not familiar with dirty rice ...so if you do like dirty rice and expect dirty rice I really think you will like it . As for the oyster mushroom poboy ...it was the best poboy I ever had and it's vegetarian so that should tell you something . I will definitely be back !!! read more

Love the fried chickens! Service is casual and friendly. Ambience is what you expect from a fried chicken and bar. Just some place you would go whenever you want fried chicken. The chili oil chicken is perfectly spiced, kicked and after taste. So a must tried. The side of corn bread was also excellent. Moist and tasty The salted egg flavor is good, some nostalgia for some of us, but not as intricate as the chili oil. Orange pepper wings is good, a refined version of buffalo wings but save the room for fried chicken. read more
