The Home Town Deli on Rte. 52 across from the Town of Fishkill Town Hall has a new addition/offering inside: Krispy Krunchy Chicken from the local owners of Krispy Krunchy Chicken Beacon on Main Street next to Key Food and Maximus Smoke Shop,
who has since moved his smoke shop to be next door to Home Town Deli and this new Krispy Krunchy. Now you can enjoy the fried chicken before you hit the highway or in between errands in the area! Or for a sit-down lunch date. Plenty of parking!

The hand-breaded, Louisiana style, halal fried chicken is rolled daily in the breading to be fried and freshly placed under the warming lamps for you to enjoy. Says owner Max: “Come over and try us. Say hi!” Seating is ample and everything shiny and new. Deli sandwiches are available, plus loads of cookies from the likes of Pepperidge Farm and Tate’s. Parking is easy too. Chicken includes tenders, wings, and drumsticks with choices of sauces, to be paired with those wedge fries that cook so good the next day in a skillet for make-at-home hash browns. And the biscuit! Enjoy.

Located at 812 NY-52, Fishkill, NY. Follow them on Instagram @krispykrunchychickenbeacon

You’ve been watching…and waiting…to see what would replace the Beacon Craft Beer Shoppe next to Key Food (ALBB first wrote about opening that here). And then you were rewarded…with fried chicken from the same owner. Coming from JB Foods Etc., this chicken is double-breaded and fried in house. You can watch them dip the chicken! Hardly any food is frozen, and the chicken easily pulls apart in your hands (we tried it, it’s good).

Light tasting but double-breaded, this Louisiana-style fried chicken is halal (according to WebMD: “Halal food must be prepared with minimal suffering to the animal and the pronouncement of God’s name during the slaughter, as the animal is being sacrificed to Him”) and is available in several different varieties, including fried chicken tenders, fried chicken thighs, legs, wings, hot wings, wedges, and chicken sandwiches. Sauces include Original, Home Style Ranch (so good), Honey 🍯 Mustard (can’t wait to try), Sweet and Sour, and Sweet BBQ. Chicken sandwiches are also available.

An easy snack, customers of Key Food have already been seen enjoying a Krispy Box of some assortment of tender wings (white meat), dark meat drumsticks or wings while they wait for their taxis to take them back home after grocery shopping.
