    5pc Chicken Fingers
    Elizabeth E.

    I have always loved Sticky's. Recently they have changed ownership/management and the menu has been changed. They have an à la carte option, but you can only order à la carte, it if you order a meal. So basically you can add à la carte extra chicken to your meal but cannot get a singular chicken tender on the other court menu. The sauces have changed since the original Sticky's. But they've maintained many of the good saucy originals. Always a calm ambience. A good place to order and sit if there are tables available. 5/5 chicken even with the changes.

    12pc Chicken Popper Basket

    This is one of the few places open late (past 10 pm) on the east side near Lexington and 48th where our hotel was. My partner loved this chicken place when he used to live here and so we came back so I could try it. We really enjoyed the chicken for the most part, even though the chicken was sitting there waiting to be bought -- the price is good, for a 12pc Chicken Popper Basket with fries and two sauces, we paid $14.50 plus $2 tip. Not bad at all. The workers there are patient, and they sort of have to be with a lot of choices with sauces -- we weren't sure what to get. I will say though that the maple hot sauce was nothing that I thought it'd be. It just tasted like franks Buffalo sauce and so I wasn't sure if they gave me the wrong sauce or the sauces aren't really what they say they will be. But either way we enjoyed our chicken and would come back the next time we are in town.

    Was looking for a quick bite after a festival, happened to come across a Stickys and i'm glad I decided to try it. It was the perfect quick meal after a long day. The chicken tenders were crunch and saucy, fries were also delicious. Its the perfect meal after a long night of partying

    S'mores sauce - mostly chocolate but good... not sure what for

    No need to go back, I can buy four times the amount of chicken and chop it up into my deep fryer and achieve a better crunch, a better flavor, a better amount, and a better attitude. Sticky's ain't doin' anything revolutionary and I'm tired of their hype. Mushy fries, flavorless truffle parm, sauces don't even hit great It's good for your shitty fast food chicken but not worth the money if you can handle yourself in the kitchen... my stomach already hurts and I'm writing this with actual sticky fingers and most the food still sitting on the table- No thanks mr sticky I want my money time and dignity back

    Chicken Strips with Hot Honey and Sticky's Sauce
    Janice H.

    Came here late night after a party and chicken strips after a long dance/drink session really hits the spot. The workers were super chill and just happily vibing while serving customers. I asked if I could change my sauce and they just let me keep the other one. My friend ended up making some requests to change her order midway, and they were super cool about it. Hot honey was a little thinner and less full-bodied than I would've liked, but not bad at all. Sticky's sauce was pretty good, which surprised me because I'm a hot honey gal and not usually a fan of aoili-type sauces. So, chicken strips were good, but not exceptional by any means. The fact that the service was so quick and that they put a lot of fresh parsley(?) on it was a nice touch though. Awesome vibes, decent chicken, and a nice variety of sauces (and ways to eat the chicken) sums up my experience.

    Is it the best? No. But is it reliable and will satisfy your fried chicken cravings, yes. It's fast and easy to order, a bit soggy aka not totally crispy, but the chicken was juicy and warm. Got the sticky's sauce and it felt like a more mayo heavy chik fil a sauce.

    It was goodish. I always walk past and have been meaning to try it! The tenders were so pretty when I saw them but eating them was crazy because it was truly DRENCHED. I understand the vibe of sticky's but this much sauce was just truly unnecessary. It was good but I would try something else or just get sauces on the side next time.

    Large Crunchy Popper Basket
    Stephanie Y.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch. There was no line and only one group of people eating inside (it's a small spot, so there are only really spots for two groups to eat). If you're eating there, they take down your information for COVID precautions. Two of us shared 1 large crunchy poppers with fries -- this was the perfect amount as we weren't too hungry. It came with a choice of three sauces. We got sticky sauce, honey mustard(?) and chipotle aioli. The chicken are real pieces of chicken (no nuggets) which are nice and crunchy and hot. The sticky sauce was a bit strange -- it was white but not super creamy?? The mustard and chipotle aioli were huge hits. The sauce balanced the slightly dry chicken and made it better to eat. Overall a decent spot for chicken. For this price point, it's quite good; however, the sticky sauce really threw me off. Came bc my sister recommended it, but apparently the sauce she recommends is the thai sauce, so I'll have to come back and try again.

    Chicken Thigh Basket (8PC)
    Andy C.

    Yum! Got some of the new chicken thigh bites along with Cajun fries. I think there's a cumin funk from the Cajun spices or something that was a little odd. Still, the chicken was very good, crispy on the outside and super juicy meat in the middle. Fries were also done very well, again crispy on the outside but a soft interior. The basket option comes with just more than enough fries to round out a meal for one, so plan accordingly. They fry stuff here and they do it well, with enough sauce choices to please anyone. Solid choice

    5pc Buffalo Ranch Chicken Fingers
    Nicholas G.

    Sticky's is my jam. The buffalo ranch tenders are my favorite. It is served with shredded carrots and it just works. Perfect snack or meal. It is a little pricey but you are paying for good quality chicken tenders. I know they have a bunch of locations and I would go back when in the mood for tenders.

    The Chicken Sandwich Wars rage on in 2021. After shopping at Trader Joe's down the street, I came across Sticky's sign declaring themselves the "Best Damn Chicken Sandwich". In NYC, in the World? This I had to check out after having tasted Chick Fil-A, Popeye's, Wendy's, KFC, Fuku, Chick'nCone and the like. Even McD is entering the arena this month with a revamped Crispy Chicken. Do I dare to get the Spicy Chicken Sandwich? At $8.04, it's a decent sized value, more than your average fast food joint, but better than $10 at Fuku. You get 2 Hulk sized chicken fingers on a bun (with pickles), doused in hot sauce. In hindsight, maybe I should have specified a different sauce. The default Sticky's Hot Sauce was killer HOT and I usually like spicy foods. I tasted a little on my finger when I unwrapped the sandwich and thought, "What did I get myself into?? They put Carolina Reaper whatsis in here?" After the first bite, I was dying. I had to take 2 eat breaks for the heat to die down before I was able to finish the sandwich. Maybe next time I'll ask for the kids version because I don't like to cry in the middle of my lunch. I may be a little biased from having my tastebuds scorched, but it was not the best damn sandwich I've ever had, but it was OK. I'll have to come back to try just the chicken fingers with the many sauce choices and render another judgement once my tongue recovers. At least there are 8 different locations in Manhattan to try.

    Got the general sauce and it was SOOO good!! Wish could've gotten more! DoorDash and it still arrived crispy

    Great chicken fingers ... but even better mushroom poppers! I came here for an online pickup during the COVID-19 pandemic in June and, I won't go into details about their safety protocols, but they were in line with what you would expect nowadays. Only 3 customers were allowed inside at once and social distancing is recommended. As for the menu, for first timers, it can be a little overwhelming with the different options, but basically everything revolves around their chicken fingers. First, you select what type of chicken you want (fingers, poppers, grilled or veggie). Next, you choose the size of your order, which will determine how many pieces and sauces you get (small, medium, large). Then, you pick your sauce(s). And that's it! You can also make it a meal basket for a few extra bucks, which will include an order of fries, or you can order from their menu of various sides, but those won't be included as part of the basket. If you're not into eating chicken fingers alone, you can instead order a chicken sandwich/salad/wrap, but who are we kidding? If you're here, you're a chicken fingers lover! I placed my order online for pickup and on the online menu I noticed that there were a few items featured that I did not see at the location's menu. One of them being the mushroom poppers! How can that be left off of the physical location's menu?! My wife and I ended up ordering a medium mushroom popper basket (12 pieces) and medium chicken fingers (3 pieces). Both with classic fries. If you're very hungry, a medium basket will do the job because the orders were huge! In addition, they did not skim on the fries either. The boxes were so full, they couldn't even close them. First, the chicken fingers were delicious. Not overly fried and had plenty of flavor to them. They had some crisp to them, but not overly crispy. Really a solid chicken fingers. The real surprise were the mushroom poppers! What have I been missing all of these years? Perfectly fried mushrooms and they weren't your average mushrooms either. These fungi were enormous. The order could have easily fed 2 people. To be honest, it was one of the best things I have eaten in a really long time - whether it was a fancy shmancy restaurant, fast food joint or casual spot. It was THAT good. Sticky's feels like it has been open in NYC forever, but it's never too late to finally try it. The chicken fingers were excellent, but don't ignore the mushroom poppers because those are what I will absolutely be coming back for!

My mother had never tried soup dumplings before, so we were hoping for a fun experience, but she immediately spit it out. I brought it back and showed the staff the uncooked pork and the blood/red liquid on the napkin. They simply re-steamed them and brought them back except now there was no soup left inside the dumplings at all. The chicken teriyaki was tough and chewy, almost like jerky, as if it had been overcooked on an extremely hot grill or deep fried too long. The spring rolls were mediocre at best, with vegetables inside that had a mushy, paste-like texture. Very disappointing. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the rice.

The small order of veg dumplings was a very reasonable price and portion. I thought they were well stuffed with veggies. I was a little disappointed with the dumpling wrapper- i prefer a lighter softer wrapper. But overall I still ate it all, and it was a quick nice snack. My husband really enjoyed his orange chicken with rice and veggies. It was a huge portion- he was only able to eat half of it. Great value.
