Best Wings in NJ is my buddies' joint, Manville Pizza and Restaurant Est. 1969 on 31 S. Main St. in Manville, NJ.
Owned by a NRA Benefactor Life Member & CNJFO sponsor Anthony D'Aniello.  Yes, you might even bump into some famous faces chowin'-down on their pizza, dinners OR wings!  Curtis Sliwa & his Guardian Angels paid a visit!  This place is the home of the CNJFO Annual Wing-Ding & Pizza Party fundraiser.  Guys from Southern Ocean Co. & Bergen Co. came to eat his wings & pizza!  He made 500 wings just for us!

That pizza looks awesome. Might be a great road trip destination.

Best fried chicken in NJ is in Cape May and you have to wear pants (dress shorts allowed) to eat it!  Worth every penny; I think they make it with CRACK, lol!

The Magnolia Room at The Chalfonte Hotel in Cape May.  June-September ONLY.  Sit-down, linen service.  No air conditioning.  NO SHORTS allowed.  Need a reservation!  Made by the same black family for over 3/4 of a century!  

It's a National landmark, a wedding & family reunion venue, a restaurant, a bar, and so much MORE...

The Magnolia Room's daily dining service will resume Monday, June 4th through Friday, September 7th, 2018.

A Family Tradition

Acclaimed for her skill as well as her spirit, the late Miss Helen Dickerson presided over the Magnolia Room kitchen for more than 60 years, serving “soul food with its Sunday clothes on.” Helen’s Southern fried chicken was featured on the Food Network show Tyler’s Ultimate and The Phil Donahue Show.

Dot Burton lovingly worked side by side with her mother, Helen and sister, Lucille, for more than 50 years. Dot’s laughter still echoes throughout the kitchen as the chicken simmers and her handmade breakfast biscuits rise.

Today Lucille with Dot’s daughter, Tina Bowser, both continue to honor the family legacy of culinary excellence. Our restaurant patrons have enjoyed Helen, Dot, & Lucille’s recipes for over 75 years.

The Magnolia Room serves breakfast and dinner daily in season (May through September) and offers the following dining options:

• Breakfast buffet from 8:30-11 a.m at the cost of $12.00 for adults and children (ten and under) $6.00 (+ tax).
• Dinner is served starting at 5:30 p.m. with a three course prix fix menu at $39.00 or a la carte options. A children’s menu is also offered.
• Sunday Supper Buffet starts at 5:30 p.m. at the cost of $29.95 for adults and $15.00 for children.

Our veranda on a summer evening is the outstanding dinner location in Cape May. Open to the public. There is a full bar on premise.

Dinner reservations recommended: (609) 884-8409

This legendary hangout is an intimate place where locals and guests mingle over domestic & imported beers, fine wines, and classic cocktails.

Open daily from 3 p.m. in season.

You're killin' me with this stuff!  You really are!  How I long for authentic NJ "mom & pop" style Pizza down here in FL (e.g. Dickie Dee's). 

As for your reference to the Chalfonte Hotel, I had already known about it, having been lucky enough to catch the episode of the Phil Donahue show that featured the late Helen Dickerson and her daughter Dot Burton on the show, and having Phil actually trying some of the "soul food" cooked at the hotel (they brought a bunch of it to the studio in Chicago).  I wish the ep. was on DVR, but I have it on VHS tape. If I can digitize it, I'll show you. It's the most hilarious thing I've ever seen... getting Phil to try and eat Pig's feet and Chitlins, etc..  Of course, the audience ate every bit of it that Phil and the production crew were passing out to them.  But the funniest part of it were the interactions between the late Ms. Dickerson and Phil, and another guest on the show...  Dr. I.D. Rotkin, a cancer specialist who was brought in to counter the menu choices and ingredients used as not being "healthy" and to suggest ways to prepare the food that would be a lot healthier (eliminating salt, bacon fat, etc.) Of course the doctor and Ms, Dickerson locked horns consistently. 

It was one of the best Phil Donahue shows I've seen and totally freakin' hilarious.  If I can find it, I'll point you to it.

Chicken Galore in Fair Lawn in Broadway. Get a lot for your money and family owned. Much better than franchise crap.

[mention=3464]Smokin .50[/mention] - I commend your food choices! I've gone to Manville Pizza since I was a kid - particularly fond of their Sicilian pies.
And the Chalfont Hotel in Cape May is The Bomb! A step back in time AND a fantastic kitchen. I've gotten their little newsletter for years now. Here's an interesting tip for anyone who doesn't mind an honest day's work: the Chalfont hosts 2 weekends a year for upkeep on that grand old building. Ideally, they love to see people with trades/related skills - plumbers, painters, master gardeners, etc. You give 10 hours of volunteer labor - and they put you up and feed you for the weekend. If you have those skills and enjoy taking an active role in preserving historic architecture, it could make for a fun, free weekend trip. Here's the link: http://www.chalfonte.com/employment.html 
I don't know if they're full or not, but it seems they have an upcoming work weekend Nov 2-4 if anyone's interested.

Unless the rooms are $500+ a night and it is all you can eat that volunteer deal isn’t that great for plumbers. Painters it is a slamming deal.

Sliced sausage on pizza sucks. Ground is the way to go.

I don't know about chicken in NJ anymore (there were a couple of places I recall as a kid) but, here in Florida, my favorite place is up in cave country.  Sisters Cafe in Branford, FL. (Yelp Review)...  Roughly $9.50 all you can eat buffet of all different kinds of Southern soul food cooking...And trust, me, the chicken is to die for!  The place is packed on Fridays (they have a fish fry on Fri. evenings) and Sunday Brunch.  The price goe sup to $11+ on those days and the wait list can be a long time.

 

The best chicken in the area!

 

Great. Now I want fried chicken. 

 

You guys suck! 

Buck buck! Lmao...[emoji23][emoji490][emoji481]

Shitty hole-in-the-wall dive in Columbus Farmers Market. "The Chicken Coop"

Best around here, cash only, always busy, and they also have the best fried potato wedges I've ever had anywhere in the world. A bajillion times better than french fries.  Their fried gizzards are awesome and if you never had fried gizzards - you should try them.    Also stop by Kate and Al's Pizza while you are there.

I can second the Farmers Market fried chicken. Fried Gizzards I can not. Gizzards are scraps for the dog.

Oh man, fried chicken gizzards are da BOMB! 

My mom used to make them for my dad and I when I was a kid. Awesome!

I remember this little dive outside the Navy base in Yokosuka, Japan used to serve fried chicken gizzards...my buddy and I would pretty much run to that place when we pulled in there for a port call. Big ole plate of fried gizzards and a couple of beers for a couple of bucks was hard to beat! The little Japanese barmaid there was quite a dish too!

“Wings Over Rutgers” in New Brunswick is amazing if you are looking for wings or tenders. Their sauces and dry rubs are freaking out of this world.

Agree with this. The "Boneless wings" are the shit. Going to miss that place.
They are actually a chain, if you look it up many college campuses have "Wings Over _____".

While I don’t normally do organ meats , fried gizzards are awesome! You don’t know what you’re missing!!! 

Hahaha, My mom often makes Liver. It's not bad stuff once you get over the fact that you're eating Liver...
She grinds it with beef and stuff and makes something similar to Dumplings or Raviolis with it (She's Syrian/Hungarian, lotsa dishes from those regions) too, that stuff is absolutely the bomb. Tons of work so its one of her holiday specials.. That paired with some lamb/chicken soup is amazing.
Pretty sure thats the only internal organs i can stomach. The thought of anything else is pretty gross.

Oh, believe me, I do.  My grandmother (mothers side) grew up on a poultry farm in the south during the great depression.  She could cook the shit out of a chicken a million different ways, make it delicious and eat leftovers for two more days.  Fried chicken was only one way.

Anyway, she ate everything that wasn't a bone and forced us to eat gizzards and ummm... other parts too.  fucking gross.  I can't believe people were made to eat that shit and they choose to continue eating that shit still today.

It's fucking cat food.
