Twinz Hot Chicken — Restaurant in Jersey City

Ok, so I had no idea about Twinz in Jersey City until my friend decided that we should meet here for lunch! She was looking forward to their fried chicken salad, which they didn’t have that day, but she ended up going with the sliders, which she loved. I didn’t get to try it, but it looked scrumptious! Before I get into my order, I wanna say that this place is cute. It isn’t super trendy, but it deserves to be! They’ve invested into the decor by adding some cool slogans on the walls in relation to their food, they have a few tables, and a few stools. It’s simple, but really cool! When I placed my order, it was with a woman, whom I feel was one of the owners. She was super sweet and hospitable. I ended up ordering the chicken and waffles, which, I truly didn’t know what to expect. I mean, it’s chicken and waffles. I’ve had dozens of different interpretations of chicken and waffles, but girl….let me just say that the chicken and waffles at Twinz, is TOP 3! I said what I said! When my order was ready, I pointed out the steam from the chicken. It was JUST fried, child! Like, just now! I also pointed out the juice drippage from the chicken. It was an orangey color, as I asked for a medium spice level. I bit into this chicken and happily burned the roof of my mouth. Aside from its freshness, the flavor was SPOT.ON.! It was also juicy and crispy! And I must mention the waffles! These waffles were cooked to a science, hear me?! Perfect crisp edges, with the perfect fluffiness on the inside! These weren’t frozen, store bought waffles, girl. Not at all, these waffles were FRESHLY and CAREFULLY made with LOVE! My appreciation had to be expressed to the woman who took my order. I was blown away by my meal and she needed to know.

Twinz is simple in decor, and not fussy at all, but Linda listen…..the food is where the focus is, and it speaks for itself. Food made with love is what I seek. I cannot wait to go back to Twinz to try a new menu item! Thank you! So...

As we're exploring new halal spots in Jersey City I was excited to find a hot chicken restaurant nearby to try out. TWINZ is located in the heart of Journal square just a block from the path, parking is not easy but there's ample seating in the restaurant. Calling in an order was easy as there aren't too many items on the menu, and it was ready in about 15 mins.

We tried the chicken sliders (medium & mild) and loaded fries.

The sliders are priced very fairly, but also aren't super filling if you are used to massive chicken sandwiches at Namkeen/birdies/smashville (order two if you have an appetite). The spice level is accurate, I found the medium to be just the right amount of spice although my wife thought the mild was a little spicier than the average hot chicken burger so if you don't like spice at all, don't experiment with the mild. The chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy + juicy, and the bun was fresh and delicious.

The loaded fries may have stolen the show...I thought the slaw + hot chicken pieces over the fries with the TWINZ sauce was excellent. Highly recommend you order this!!

Overall a solid experience and I would say TWINZ is a contender in the NJ hot...

I've literally eaten Chicken sandwiches/sliders from EVERY single national fast food joint and mannny local places all over the East and West Coast, and Twinz Hot Chicken's sliders beat all of them HANDS DOWN! There's absolutely nothing I would change about them! Discovered this place recently through a friend's recommendation and haven't looked back since. For starters, their chicken tenders are SO PERFECTLY cooked that it made me re-evaluate every other time I've had chicken tenders from anywhere else till now. Hitting that level of perfection consistently is what keeps me going back here! The chicken is perfectly cooked, juicy and tender every time - not overcooked in the slightest, nor is the coating too much. Secondly, their spice options are so aptly named and on point. It's tasty AND spicy, not just spicy for the sake of it, like many other "spicy chicken" places do. Their Twinz sauce is also really really good, and so are their fries. I can't seem to say enough good things about them. The only thing I'll warn you about is how absolutely addictive it can be once you start eating from here! Now I need to know their recipe, cuz I wanna be able to make it at...
