Sunnyside Fried Chicken With Draft Beer and Game-Day Screens

Sunnyside fried chicken has a game-day home at Mad for Chicken Sunnyside on Queens Boulevard. The crispy chicken leads, with draft beers, plenty of TVs, and a rustic pub feel that suits a table full of friends.

The menu goes well past wings. Dumplings, tteokbokki, and japchae share space with truffle fries and chicken dipping sauce, and a quick plate can easily turn into a longer graze. Nonalcoholic beer is on the list too, handy when the group is mixing rounds.

Seating spreads across street level and a basement room, and the basement gives game day a little more breathing room while the front stays lively. The venue occasionally hosts DJs. It opens at 11 AM every day, closes at 11 PM Sunday through Thursday, and stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday. It makes an easy Sunnyside stop for a sports bar night built around crisp chicken and a cold pour.
