Against all odds, New York City has become a hub for Southern-style fried chicken chains. Within one square mile, you can find Popeyes, Raising Cane\u2019s, KFC, and Chick-fil-A. But there\u2019s one legendary fried chicken joint that has been absent from the city\u2019s competitive restaurant landscape \u2014 until now.<\/p>\n
Bojangles, a North Carolina-based fast food chain known for its hand-breaded fried chicken and ultra-buttery biscuits, has officially opened its first New York City location in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve spent decades building a strong foundation across the Southeast and beyond, growing to more than 850 restaurants in 20 states,\u201d says Stacey McCray, Bojangles\u2019 vice president of communications. \u201cNow seemed like the right moment to bring our Southern hospitality and craveable flavors to a city that appreciates great food and great value.\u201d<\/p>\n
While there are many fried chicken joints in NYC, there aren\u2019t too many that are open 24\/7 \u2014 and even fewer that offer all-day breakfast. This location has both, so you can get Bojangles\u2019 Cajun Filet Biscuit and Bo-Tato Rounds (crispy potato nuggets) at any hour of the day. The dining room will close at midnight, but the drive-thru will remain open for service. Perhaps bad news for some fried chicken enthusiasts: To streamline the menu, this Bojangles will offer only boneless chicken.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s your first time visiting, McCray recommends the Cajun-seasoned chicken, served in sandwiches and as nuggets and tenders, and the Bo-Berry Biscuits, freshly made buttermilk biscuits studded with blueberries and drizzled with a sweet glaze. Bojangles is also beloved for its iced tea and high-quality \u201cfixins,\u201d such as seasoned fries, dirty rice, and macaroni and cheese. \u201cWe think once people try it, they\u2019ll understand why Bojangles has been loved in the South for nearly five decades,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
