Dominican Fried Chicken with Dark Meat Combos in Manhattan
Pick up crispy chicken and traditional sides from a tiny counter on West 207th Street.
🍗 Legs, Thighs, Seasoned Batter
John's Fried Chicken puts dark meat at the center of a Dominican counter meal on West 207th Street. The combos contain legs and thighs only, covered in a heavily seasoned, savory batter with a crisp finish. This is a tiny, mostly takeaway spot, with the lively atmosphere of a neighborhood cafeteria.
Toward the rear, a display table holds roasted pork, sold by the pound, alongside rotisserie chicken. Yellow rice and spaghetti widen the choices beyond the fryer. Boiled green bananas, also called guineo, join fried plantains and yuca among the traditional sides. The menu keeps several Dominican classics together at one counter.
Dominican music adds to the energy inside the simple space at 512 West 207th Street in Manhattan. Service runs 24 hours a day, Monday through Sunday, leaving room for an early stop or a meal after midnight. Entrees range from 6.35 to 16.50 US dollars.
