If you're in Beverly and craving something delightfully different, The Crispy Chicken Cup is worth a stop. These genius handheld cups are made with all white-meat chicken shaped into a crispy, golden cup and filled with creamy mac‑and‑cheese or pasta--you really have to try it to believe it. My Chicken Cup felt perfectly seasoned, hot and crispy on the outside, with warm, creamy comfort tucked inside. It's exactly the sort of playful and indulgent food that hits the spot--and it's surprisingly satisfying for a single small item. In my experience, it cut easily with a plastic knife and melted right in your mouth. The concept itself is brilliantly creative and fun--a handheld mashup of chicken parm meets portable mac‑and‑cheese, presented in a neat little cup. That offbeat charm is what makes this place so memorable. Service pickup was smooth; I was able to grab my order with no fuss. If you like inventive, hearty, and Instagram-ready comfort food with a twist, you'll love this spot. Definitely one of Beverly's most fun and tasty culinary surprises! read more

Totally offbeat food item with an equivalent back story. That's what got me hook, line and sinker. I'm a sucker for weird foods and drinks. The Crispy Chicken Cup is super creative. It takes a lot to make a new food item. I mean, there's a world of food out there. But these folks did it. Bravo! I envision the Crispy Chicken Cup becoming a famous Salem food. You know, like a Philly Cheesesteak, Poutine in Montreal, or my favorite Chicago foods: deep dish pizza, Chicago-style hotdogs, jibaritos and Italian beef. The Crispy Chicken Cup can be like that for Salem. Salem has so much more going for it than just witch trials. Did you know that it also is the birthplace of Negro Election Day and was one of the first places to have racially integrated schools in the 1800s??? Yeah, Salem is pretty cool and now it can also add the Crispy Chicken Cup to it's notoriety. The Crispy Chicken Cup is chicken cutlets formed into a cup-shape and then deep fried. The inventors of the cup are still exploring ways to fill the cup and I'm excited to see where their creativity takes them. So far, they mostly fill it with variations of pasta: mac n' cheese, pasta and meatballs, pesto pasta, etc. The chicken cup kinda tastes like a pounded and fried chicken. It is crispy and cuts easily with a plastic knife. I like to cut little squares off of the cup and eat with bites of pasta. The whole eating process would be easier on a plate, but I've always eaten the Crispy Chicken Cups from the box. The box is white cardboard. It's challenging to get inside the box and eat down the sides of the chicken cup. I don't have a better idea for a selling container, but I do recommend that buyers take the cup out of the box and put it on a plate to eat it. Unfortunately, that takes foresight that I haven't had. I'm really excited to see what happens with the Crispy Chicken Cup. I hope that they blossom and become a staple in Salem. read more

Amazing concept for chicken! I saw this on FB in a good group and decided to check it out. It's located within the Spice store by the wharf and appears to be fairly new. The cup is the chicken cutlet shaped into a cup and baked to perfection. They have several different cups. We tried the fusilli cup which was $20 and came with a lemon creamed pasta with artichoke hearts and tomatoes. I'm drooling thinking about it now. It was so good. We also got a cold cup that had broccoli alfredo and pasta. That was very easy to heat up and tasted just as good the next day as the other cup did when served hot. Really love this idea and thinking about going back sooner rather than later. Check their FB as it seems like hours change often and are somewhat limited. read more

The Crispy Chicken Cup - Packed with pasta! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Beverly , Massachusetts

This place just opened up March 17th in the beautiful wharf area in the city of Salem Massachusetts. My wife found out about it through Instagram, and we immediately knew we wanted to try it. They specialize in serving delicious pasta/Italian style dishes inside of a chicken cutlet shaped and cooked into a cup. The menu is simple, but effective; they have just enough to cover most people's favorite Italian dishes, but served in their signature chicken cutlet cup. I ordered a meatball and penne cup while my wife ordered the gnocchi cup. When we excitedly brought the food home to try it we were very impressed by the presentation and aroma. The chicken cutlet cups themselves are seasoned and cooked to crispy perfection. And the meatball and penne in mine were absolutely delicious. My wife's gnocchi cup was just perfect - comfort food in a new and innovative form. Your favorite Italian dish served inside of crispy, delicious and perfectly cooked chicken cutlet cup, who wouldn't like that? read more

I stumbled upon the kitchen spice store where they had a QR code to order the crispy chicken cup online to then pick up at the store. It took 25 minutes from the time I placed it so I looked around at nearby stores. I ordered the chicken parm. I received a text after placing the order and once it was ready for pick up. There were multiple options between being made to eat or made to be refrigerator. Another option I can't remember now. The chicken cups are MUCH bigger than expected, I had to split it into two and eat the second half the next day as leftovers so it's easily shareable. The chicken parm cup was nice and hot but the pasta in the middle was cold after the very top layer so I actually had to wait until I got home to heat it up myself which was disappointing. The taste however is REALLY good! I would suggest the pasta be cooked seperate Lu from the chicken because I think the pasta was cold because it was cooked together maybe? I would love to see more options on the menu like chicken pesto pasta. read more

I tried the Thanksgiving cup...absolutely delicious! I can't wait to go back and try all of them! Service was super friendly.

My wife and I enjoyed our lunch today from the crispy chicken cup. We went half's on the chicken parm and the Alfredo. They were both delicious and you can tell it's all home made with love and passion. The cup is a perfectly crisped chicken cutlet and the pasta cooked just right. The sauce was a work of art. Very pleased and I hope he has a lot of success so that these things are around for a long time!! read more

These are some seriously crispy cutlets! The Crispy Chicken Cup definitely lives up to the hype. Very tasty cutlets, nice variety and the portion size is huge, the cups are much larger than I thought they'd be. Also worth mentioning that the folks that work there could not be nicer. My Hubby and I ordered 3 different ones to try, all hot and ready to eat - the Thanksgiving cup, the Sausage and Penne and the Alfredo and Broccoli. All were delicious, but I think my favorite so far was the Thanksgiving - a nice crispy chicken cutlet filled with mashed potato, stuffing, cranberry and gravy. It was Yummy. I only managed to eat a little less than half of the Thanksgiving cup and a small piece of each of the other cups and I was full. My Husband is a big guy and a much bigger eater, so he polished off most of the remainder of the order, but there was still some left over. Will definitely go back. Next time I think we will try the original Chicken Parm cup, and of course we will get another Thanksgiving cup! Definitely a unique concept and definitely worth a try! I don't know anyone personally who has been there and did not like it, everyone I know raves about it. read more
