"The combination of fat, salt, and spice makes any fried chicken sandwich at least some degree of delicious. But rarely are they as memorable as the Nashville Hot Chickwich version at this casual Korean restaurant on Amsterdam Avenue. Chick Chick’s play on Korean-Nashville hot chicken is crunchier than it is fiery, and we could write an epic poem about this twice-fried, chili-dusted poultry product, topped with pickles and creamy white sauce. This is a perfect place to pick up some takeout for your kids or to have a meal for around $30." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"A Korean fried chicken restaurant that will open a location in the food hall as one of the announced vendors." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Upper West Side finally got the Korean fried chicken joint it was hoping for. The usual wings, tenders, and sandwiches are available with a choice of flavoring schemes, but a surprise offer is a Nashville-style hot chicken sandwich. Other dishes include kimchi fried rice, chicken ramen, and green tea cheesecake." - Eater Staff
"On the Upper West Side, chef Jun Park and BoMee Chu make some serious wings. Park batters the meat in a thin layer of potato starch and fries the wings twice, once at a lower temperature, then again at a higher one for extra crunch. The flesh itself has a chicken-y punch, thanks to vegetarian-fed birds, while black pepper soy sauce adds a bit of pleasant astringency." - Eater Staff
"A sandwich is only as good as its architecture. In this case, Chick Chick dredges a juicy thigh and fries it twice, then tops the whole thing with a ton of cayenne and paprika. On the bottom, you’ll find cold butter lettuce, and thick, slightly sweet pickles, all with a cooling white sauce - made with mustard, mayo, buttermilk, and black pepper - seeping down the side. The result is crackly, hot, and balanced." - team infatuation
