Chickadee Chick

Needed some comfort food so I ordered nuggets and small mashed potatoes. The counter person was very sweet and the service was fast. Maybe I waited too long after I got home to eat, but the nuggets were a bit rubbery though the coating was well-​seasoned and I probably would get them again. The potatoes were a bit watery and needed more flavor, maybe I will try the fries next time.

I was so excited to try this place as I kept walking by and seeing the chicken in the window calling for me to eat it.
So one day I walked in and decided to do just that.
The pulled chipotle chicken wrap was decent, but very little meat in it for a place that is named after the chicken. They also don’t have any other wrap except for that one — I don’t understand why if they have the wraps for that one sandwich that they couldn’t just wrap something else up with it instead of putting it on a roll.
I may go back to try either the chicken caesar salad or the asian chicken salad, as those did (at least by their descriptions) looked decent, but I won’t be trying any of the other sandwiches I don’t think.
The soft serve/​custard was also down, which was sad. :(

Excuse my bluntness, but
if you want shitty food, please come here.
Had the quarter chicken with a side of rice.
The rice was soggy, stale, and probably 3 days old.
The chicken– I don’t even want to waste my time explaining how it tasted.
I want to punch the owner in the face.

Upon moving to Park Slope, one of the first things I did was go up and down 5^th and 7^th Aves., collecting delivery menus from every place I stumbled upon, apparent to all onlookers I was new to the neighborhood. I’m not ashamed. So, while rummaging through my collection hungry one evening, I came across Chickadee Chick and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since.
The char-​grilled marinated chicken is full of flavor, especially the hint of lemon grass, and my orders have always been seasoned well and well-​cooked. I’m a fan of the flat bread, I’m a fan of the steamed Thai basil vegetable rice, and I love me a joint that serves those crinkled, accordion fries. I’ll admit it — I crave this place sometimes. I could, however, do without the mashed potatoes — a little too mushy for my taste. Minor details.
I fail to see the overpriced criticism here. For chicken this good (and trust me, I will not order chicken from most places), I feel that a quarter bird with flat bread and a side salad or rice at $ 5.50 is more than reasonable. Call me a snob.
It seems that by sheer coincidence, every time I call up Chickadee Chick, it’s monsooning outside. And the same poor delivery dude arrives soaked and out of breath. But he’s always smiling and the food is always pipin’ hot. The one time my delivery was a little late, I swear they threw some extra chicken in the box on its way out the door. You can bet it was well worth the wait. And isn’t that all I can really ask for? Tasty chicken, an affordable menu, and some good olé customer service.

Way overpriced.
I think I spent $ 8 for a chunk of chicken with some [soggy] rice and a piece of flat bread (read, «thick tortilla»). It was alright.
I waited forever for my chicken, which finally came in a big styrofoam box. I was told if I wanted an extra piece of flatbread it would be $ 1 or $ 1.50, I don’t remember. Either way it was too much for the small tortilla like you get in a peruvian place.
It’s right across the street. It is so tempting to go there sometimes when I just want some protein, but the inflated prices are a huge turn-​off.
The chicken is seasoned and cooked on a grill top at Chickadee Chick. It tastes good, and is juicy. My roommate got some and hers looked a little even on the undercooked side. I like my meat juicy, but for chicken this was too pink. We popped it in the microwave, which you should never have to do with food you just spent money on.
For the record, and to be quite honest, if the prices were dropped on the ¼ chicken deals and the sandwiches by say, $ 2… I’d eat here often. That’s not making it «cheap» compared to the hispanic places in DC… but this is Park Slope, and that would be making the pricing «fair» IMPO.

I guess as an agronomist I should clarify that free-​range is a bit of problematic term given that chickens packed 10,000 in a tiny shed with a little door open to a postage stamp sized yard are technically «free range.»
That said, I think Chickadee Chick is much nicer than most chicken places in the area and while the chicken is pricey, I found it fairly juicy and flavorful. The spicy bon bon wings are my favorite, spiced with plenty of red pepper flecks and crunchy garlic bits. Delivery is fast and efficient.
Unfortunately the sides are kind of abominable. Mashed potatoes are kind of like wallpaper paste and the «thai basil» vegetable rice is conspicuously devoid of thai basil.

Wasn’t INCREDIBLE but better than fast food chicken. Not sure what previous reviewer got, but my friend had nuggets, not shaped like fish. They were ok. The chicken sandwich I got was very good, the fries were a little soggy but the flavor was good and I had a black and white milkshake that was GREAT.

Terrible! I spent $ 8.95 on a quarter chicken with some iceburg lettuce and a side of fries. The chicken was dry, and the soggy fries were straight out of a high school cafeteria. I doubt the place is long for this world. Too bad.

Seriously? Chicken nuggets shaped like fish? I know for a fact that those weren’t free-​range — they weren’t even whole chicken pieces. How can you call yourself a restaurant dedicated to chicken when serving something akin to a McNugget? Plus, the chocolate milkshake was mediocre. This coming from an extremely lenient critic when it comes to milkshakes. Completely disappointing.
