Underdog Hot Chicken

I wish the heat level was higher. Didn't expect chicken grease to drip all over the place. Fried pickles were way too dry.

This WAS my favorite fried chicken place in NJ. It was crispy, spicy and kale slaw was to die for. But it’s been a month or two now that it keep going downhill. 1. Chicken tenders only (no more bone in chicken for a long time. 2. The chicken tenders isn’t that good, it’s wet (instead of juicy), the spice isn’t consistent as well. I CAME HERE 3 times since they only had tenders… I still come hoping the flavor is back but nope. 3. The kale slaw is never the same as it use to be (the smell etc.. all off). I been coming here and been giving it lots of chances. No more. I think they change ownership.

Great sandwich

Come here for quality chicken sandwiches. The chicken is tender and juicy. The slaw inside the sandwich is light, flavorful, and crispy. Giving a refreshing zest to each bite of the sandwich. I like to think that this is the East Coast’s version of Howlin’ Rays. The only reason I’m giving this 4-stars is due to the misleading spice level. I got the spiciest level, but I did not taste any spice whatsoever. I may be biased because I normally enjoy spice that knocks me to the ground; however, I felt that Underdog’s spiciest level was not spicier than even tabasco sauce. All in all, try this place. It’s definitely worth it. Just don’t come here expecting spicy food. Edit (Oct 2021): I revisited Underdog Hot Chicken 1 year later. I have to dock 1 star from my original review. They definitely make their chicken spicier now, which is a plus. However, this time my chicken came out cold, and their slaw just isn’t the same - it tasted old and smelt of stillwater. Quality went down after a year.

Good flavors in their chicken and sides are decent. They ran out of chicken wings for quite some time now. They only have the tenders and chicken burger.
