Cockti Chicken had been on my radar for months, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! Even with a bustling crowd and numerous pickup orders, our food came out quickly. We initially planned to get our food to-go due to limited seating – there are only two picnic tables directly next to the food truck under the awning, which were occupied. Luckily, a table freed up just as our food was ready, and we enjoyed our meal on-site. (Note: The lot does have other tables with orange umbrellas, but those are next to the Thai food truck, so we were unsure if they were open to all patrons.) The chicken here is phenomenal! We were blown away by the spicy 3-piece – the skin was perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the meat was incredibly juicy. We also tried the Szechuan sandwich, which featured another perfectly cooked piece of chicken, delicious sauces, baby arugula, and what I believe were some onions. The mac and cheese with spicy chicken was a decadent treat. A quick note for others: it does come with cilantro, which I personally love, but wanted to mention for those who aren't fans! My only regret was forgetting my Lactaid, but I happily took it home to properly enjoy every bite! I already plan to return with my Lactaid box to savor it fully. I also appreciate their gluten-free chicken options and a gluten-free tiramisu that I'm eager to try next time. Seating is limited, but the excellent food makes it worth it for both dine-in (if a table is free!) or takeout. Parking in the shared lot can be tight, but side street parking is usually available. They have limited drink options (water, Coke, Coke Zero), so consider bringing your own water bottle if you prefer. Overall, an excellent experience. Cockti Chicken is a must-try for juicy, crisp have a group interested in either fried chicken or the nearby Thai food.

Best chicken in town hands down. They have gluten friendly fried chicken, and it’s amazing. Multiple seasoning options and they are all original. Multiple sauces, fries are fire. They have deserts, haven’t tried them but I’ve been with friends that have and they loved them.

Nick was super chill, very helpful, and honestly makes an incredible product. We got the cinnamon 3 piece, a spicy chicken sando, and fries - all 10/10. Nick let us try all the sauces because I was so indecisive and they all rocked. The chicken is gluten friendly cuz they use corn based stuff - so juicy and crispy!
