When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into the Garden State, he uncovered some seriously flavorful chicken joints that have kept locals coming back for more. New Jersey’s shore towns have proven to be unexpected hotspots for incredible poultry, with 2 restaurants earning their spot in the Triple D hall of fame between 2010 and 2022.

Leading the flock is The Chubby Pickle in Highlands, boasting an impressive 4.4-star rating that speaks to their commitment to bold, crave-worthy flavors. Not far behind, 10th Avenue Burrito in Belmar brings its own chicken game strong with a solid 4.2-star rating, proving that sometimes the best bird comes wrapped in unexpected packages.

With both featured restaurants still going strong and an average rating of 4.3 stars across the board, these Jersey chicken spots continue to deliver the kind of out-of-bounds flavor that first caught Guy’s attention. Whether you’re cruising the shore or hunting for your next great meal, these Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives alumni are worth the trip.
