The semester is ending and you’ve reached the academic boiling point with exams and papers backing up on you. Also, you’re starving.
At moments like these, students do have options beyond Wawa and QuickChek. One such option is Chicken-To-Go, an establishment that sits on an island at the intersection of Chambers Street and Route 206 in Trenton.
Chicken-To-Go specializes in freshly prepared fried chicken as well as a number of sauces and sides, and as the name suggests, it is available for takeout, which is the best option since the dine-in area is underwhelming with only a few more seats than Pac-Man machines (one).
But as long as you are able to navigate the triangular parking lot, the trip is worth it. Whether you prefer wings, tenders, or classically fried chicken, Chicken-To-Go will get dishes in your hands quickly and without the grease that is associated with fried foods.
One local, Percey Lopez holds Chicken-To-Go’s buffalo chicken sandwich in the highest regard, mentioning only Princeton’s legendary Hoagie Haven as a potential rival.
The establishment is open from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. every day and even extends to 4:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Unlike certain holier-than-thou chicken establishments, Chicken-To-Go is also open on Sundays, making it an ideal option for enjoying football with wings and some potato wedges.
Prices are student and family friendly with a number of individual specials meant to keep the price under $10.00.
Deliveries, however, are cash only, and they aren’t on any of the popular delivery services, but the food is worth the drive.
