Korean fried chicken is good any time of the year. But, if you’re looking for a delicious and quick way to warm up, or even just looking to fill up before (or after) a night out, say hey to your new go-to dish! Rokstar Chicken has opened its new Long Island City output to rave reviews. And it’s no wonder, as it’s affordable, filling, and of course, delicious. The chicken spot has, you guessed it, all things chicken and much more. With a selection of delicious sauces and side dishes, take your meal to the next level with the amazing truffle fries.
