About Cluck-u Chicken

Cluck-U Chicken known under Cluck-U  or Cluckster's is a concept that began in 1985 in New Brunswick, New Jersey when a college student decided that his campus needed more than just pizza and burgers, and set out to create "The Best Buffalo Winger in the world"® available. The unique recipes and sauces that were developed created a devoted following for food made from only the finest ingredients, including fresh chicken. "Fresh Food Grilled or Fried, U decide"®
