Welcome to Holly's Hot Chicken, Jersey City's home for Nashville-style heat and heartfelt hospitality. Located in the heart of Journal Square, we're more than just a restaurant; we're a destination for those who crave flavor, spice, and a damn good meal.
Our story: it’s a love story, really. A love for the perfect, crispy-yet-juicy fried chicken. A love for the complex, mouth-tingling heat of authentic Nashville spices. And most importantly, a love for bringing people together over food that truly satisfies the soul.
We start with what matters most: premium, never-frozen chicken, brined for hours for maximum juiciness. Each piece is hand-breaded and fried to a golden-brown perfection. Then comes the magic—we hand-season each order to your desired heat level, from the subtle warmth of 'Country Classic' to the face-melting, daredevil thrill of 'Holly's Revenge.'
But we're for everyone. Whether you're a heat-seeker or spice-averse, our menu has something to delight every palate. Pair your chicken with our creamy mac & cheese, crisp tangy slaw, or perfectly seasoned fries.
