The Chef Behind the Flavor

The Chef Behind the Flavor
The story of New York Fried Chicken began with our owner and chef, whose love for food started in a family kitchen. After years of cooking across the country, they decided to bring their dream to Kentwood. Their mission was simple: make fried chicken that people crave, served in a place where everyone feels welcome. Over time, our menu grew, but the focus has always stayed the same—quality, simplicity, and great flavor in every dish.

The Birth of New York Fried Chicken

The Birth of New York Fried Chicken
New York Fried Chicken was created with one goal in mind: to make great food accessible to everyone. Inspired by the fast-paced, flavor-packed food scene of New York City, our chef wanted to offer hearty, delicious meals at an affordable price. What started as a small local spot has now grown into a community favorite. With two locations in Kentwood and Grand Rapids, we’re proud to serve the same bold flavors, made fresh daily.
