What is Worth Choosing

What truly makes bb.q Chicken Caldwell a worthwhile choice for local New Jersey diners is the unparalleled quality of its Korean fried chicken and its diverse, authentic menu. Patrons frequently mention the superior crispiness of the chicken—achieved through the unique frying process in olive oil, resulting in a lighter, less greasy product than typical American fried chicken. This unique texture and flavor combination has created loyal customers who now gladly frequent the Caldwell location, having previously traveled further distances for the same high-quality product.

For first-timers, the Golden Original is highly recommended, as it allows the pure, high quality and exquisite crunch of the chicken to shine. Alternatively, the Half & Half option is perfect for sampling two different flavor profiles, such as the Golden Original paired with the sweet and tangy Secret Sauce or the intensely flavorful Hot Spicy. The sauces, in particular, are a highlight—they are hand-brushed onto the crispy chicken, ensuring every piece is perfectly coated without compromising the crunch. Customer reviews also highlight the Honey Garlic as a delightful and balanced option that is light on heat and heavy on flavor, which pairs well with their sides like the Onion Rings or the mandatory side of refreshing, tangy pickled radish.

Beyond the chicken, the menu provides great value and variety. Lunchtime visitors can take advantage of the generous Lunch Combo deals, such as the Boneless Combo. Additionally, those looking to explore other Korean specialties should certainly try the Ddeok-Bokki or the various Rice Bowls, which offer a complete, flavorful, and authentic Korean meal experience. Simply put, for the best, high-quality, authentic Korean fried chicken and a taste of Korean street food in the Caldwell, NJ area, bb.q Chicken is the place to go.
