Top 3, in order of Deliciousness: Bada Bing, Salted Caramel, Buffalo Balsamic Maple. And don't forget to go splitty-splitty on a side of Truffle Fries.
Noah WeissAugust 6, 2012Calling these chicken fingers is almost offensive. They're the best I've ever had. $17 for 5 is a steal to split between two people. Salted caramel is required. Also, truffle fries.
The Corcoran GroupApril 8, 2014These spot serves up some of the most unique and delicious chicken fingers we've ever tasted. Don't be turned off by the Salted Caramel Pretzel flavor - they're easily our favorite.
Bradley KayMarch 20, 2017For when you DGAF and just want some delicious fried food. Super-crispy fries hold up to cheese sauce beautifully. Recommend the Cray (Peruvian hot sauce) and General Tso sauces.
Staff PicksJuly 2, 2014Sticky's Finger Joint has expanded to Murray Hill, where they are serving s'mores fries. Topped with marshmallow & chocolate sauce using Dominique Ansel's powder, you need to try these, now! Read more
Samantha KantorSeptember 12, 2013Absolutely obsessed. Soooo delicious. I ate 5 fingers on my own and honey they are BIG. Great sauces, good prices. A perfect hungover fried food spot. Try the Japanese finger (wasabi and roe)!!
Daniel HakimiJuly 2, 2015The classic fingers are perfect. Actually perfect. Sticky's sauce is great. So are the Fries, the Bada Bing, and the Salted Caramel. Go there. Go soon.
best chicken fingers in the world (yes, really.) can't go wrong with anything, but salted caramel are my favorite. fries are underrated- be sure to get them.
Sumeet ShahApril 9, 2013Paul (the owner and the epitome of the awesome bro) serves up some of the most unique and delicious chicken fingers. Mexican Coke here too. Also, he tends to give out free shots, so enjoy!
Sweta MohapatraNovember 21, 2014The Salted Caramel is delicious. Believe me, I was skeptical too but it is phenomenal! Also, the portion sizes are very big, which is why you have to buy by the piece
HashtagNYUFebruary 14, 2013Gotta love this small, narrow, gourmet joint. Not too hot, not too greasy, and just crunchy enough. Try the General Tso's, spicy mango sauce, and original Sticky's sauce.- A good Saturday afternoon -- get Bada Bing! with Sticky's sauce to go with your favorite drink, walk to Washington Square Park, and enjoy the moment in New York when time cease to matter.
Serious EatsMarch 14, 2013The Salted Caramel Pretzel chicken fingers sound gross but taste awesome. Other favorites are the classic fingers and the buffalo. Stick with fries, not fried green beans.
Matt HealyAugust 27, 2012Standouts were the bada bing (w/ tomato aoili) and the deep fried green beans. Salted caramel was good but a little hard to wrap our heads around as we are new to the idea of dessert chicken
Pramod PaiMay 7, 2015Must try “Classic General Tso” – sticky, sweet and a tint spicy, it’s coated with honey soy and sesame oil blend.
Bonnie FahyMay 21, 2015On the left: bada bing was amazing!!! Buffalo balsamic maple lower right was nothing special and the salted caramel on the top right was just fine.
Lee HoffmanJuly 13, 2012Amazing, the salted caramel is awesome as are the truffle fries. Also the staff is super friendly. Love this place - especially after a long visit to the gym.
I could go on and on about this place. I call it the "Artichoke" of chicken fingers. Must go. Try the fiesta and bada bing. Truffle Fries a must!
Alp OzcelikMay 15, 2014BEST chicken fingers. Just get them plain and try the dipping sauces! (Sweet chili and ranch are my faves.) also, banging truffle fries! Yum yum!
Kimmie OhhJuly 4, 2020Plenty of flavors of chicken fingers & plenty of sauces! They have a lot of variations of fries, including s’mores.
Marcela CabreraMarch 10, 2017These are not chicken fingers they are chicken breast.So delicious and at a reasonable price. Truffle fries are a must
Jae KimJanuary 11, 2014Amazing chicken fingers. Salt & vinegar fries, vampire sauce and wasabi aioli are all dope.
Joanna FlammAugust 26, 2012Liked the Badda Bing (chicken parm) and Fiesta (nacho flavor), definitely get the green bean fries. Would be great drunk food; just don't forget the Tums.
Krissan PattugalanNovember 3, 2017Amazing panini for a really good price. Speck is amazing and the Mac and cheese one is delicious.
Liana LauApril 16, 20133 chicken tenders + fries = totally enough. And delicious. Bada bing or caramel are both good choices
Sam BrownApril 29, 2013Looking for a little something extra to dunk your finger in? You'd be remiss to not try the Cray Sauce! Tomatillo, jalapeño, pineapple salsa... (that sauce cray)!
Desiree GSeptember 7, 2013Honestly the salted caramel chicken finger are from heaven. They sound awkward but it truly is delicious and tasteful
Melanie W.August 30, 2014Sold individually or as a set of three so you can try more flavors. I like General Tso's and the Bada Bing.
Monica SNovember 3, 2013Best of both worlds...chicken fingers and wings all in one! The buffalo, fiesta and caramel were our favorites.
Lenny GalloJanuary 31, 2015Worth checking out. Skip the traditional sauces and try their "sticky sauce" and "Mac-and-cheese jalapeño."
ᴡ FleysherMarch 21, 2012This place is going to be awesome! Try the southern fried fingers with ranch and the lemon lime candy rind. Also pineapple slaw. Yum!
Kate FurmanMay 19, 2015Naked fingers are boring. If you're gonna get chicken fingers, splurge for the fried kinds and dip it into creamy sauces.
Their spin on classic buffalo chicken fingers = so freaking good. Did someone say aged balsamic vinegar and maple syrup? Delicious.
Kevin LukOctober 1, 2012$10 for 3 of the best chicken fingers ever, a slaw, and a healthy helping of green bean fries? Might as well be in heaven.
Evgenii NikitinNovember 13, 2016Buffalo balsamic Blue cheese chicken fingers is one of the best things that ever happened to me
Chevar FrancisJune 23, 2013I'm about to try the buffalo balsamic maple sticky finger, so far everything I had has been great
Chris BurkeSeptember 17, 2014Hands down the best chicken fingers I've ever had. Fries are also delicious
Luka KladaricNovember 22, 2014out of this world. just insanely good chicken fingers. don't even think of asking how they compare to chick-fil-a or kfc.
SummerApril 23, 2014very interesting place. cool vibe, a little too much over seasoning on everything. mediocre wings, the sauces are weird flavors, if you do go get the chicken poppers and choose the sides instead.
Toi FreemanFebruary 3, 2018The Chicken is moist not at all greasy. Get the large order of fires. Try all the sauces.
Subin LimJune 28, 2014The Sticky's sauce is a must!! Dip the truffle fries in it and let the magic happen
Shantanu JoshiOctober 23, 2014Wasabi finger was spectacular. You haven't had good fingers until you've had sticky's.
These guys know how to treat a customers! They are super cool and just thinking of the food is making me hungry!
