PEEPS KITCHEN at Scrappleland

“This is some of the best fried chicken I have had in New York city. I like to order the fried boneless chicken thigh. It always come out hot and juicy, with exceptional crunch exterior. The batter is thin but still crunchy and flaky. Peeps gang jeong chicken bites are extremely flavorful due to its sticky, sweet glazed sauce. You must try the fried chicken!! The side dishes are also great. The fried dumplings have good fillings and crunchy wrappers. The ho tteock is a nice dessert option; soft pancake dough with sweet gooey syrupy nuts filling. Peeps kitchen is located inside an arcade, next to a bar. There is plenty of seatings available, great place for friends and family to hang out. There is also roof top seating. Staffs are friendly.”

“This Korean fried chicken spot has relocated inside of Scrappleland and is a great spot for some casual Korean bites while drinking some beer and/or playing pinball machines. We got their medium gangjeong fried chicken, which came in a pretty big portion. Chicken was crispy but not bready or oily, and the sauce was amazing. Probably some of the best Korean fried chicken I've had in New York!”

“The chicken here is absolutely insane--I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I'm Korean, and honestly, this tastes even better than most chicken I've had back home. You can tell the oil is super clean, the batter is incredibly crispy, and the meat is so juicy inside. It's just unbelievably delicious. I'm so grateful to have a spot like this near my workplace. You can really feel the owner's passion for chicken, and they're so kind too. On top of that, the price for chicken of this quality is unbelievable. I can't believe it's this good and this affordable. This place deserves way more recognition. Trust me and give it a try! I had the Padak chicken, fried wings, and Gang jeong, and all three were next-level. But the fried chicken especially? And make sure to get the sweet & spicy sauce on the side with the fried chicken--it's a must. You can either pick up your order or eat it out front on the benches since there aren't any tables inside. Also, keep in mind that because everything is made with such care, it takes about 20 minutes for the chicken to come out. Totally worth the wait--enjoy!”
