John's Fried Chicken is a long-running Dominican fried chicken spot on West 207th that has been feeding Inwood for decades with crispy, vinegar-seasoned chicken and late-night hours. It’s a pure counter-service operation where fried chicken and wings are packed into foil boxes for on-the-go eating at almost any hour.

What makes it special: Decades-old Dominican counter where ultra-crispy fried chicken and wings run late into the night.
Who should go: Night owls craving serious fried chicken on a budget.
