Hackensack's Hottest Chicken, Open Until 3 AM

Perfectly crispy, juicy Nashville hot chicken with bold spice levels, served seven days a week.

About Us

At 252 S Summit Ave, Fluffies Hot Chicken has built a serious reputation in Hackensack, pulling in 2,341 reviews and a 4.5-star average from people who drove out of their way and left glad they did. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident. It happens when the chicken is genuinely crispy on the outside, genuinely juicy on the inside, and seasoned all the way through, not just dusted on top.

The heat levels here are real and thoughtfully dialed. Whether you want the slow burn of mild or something that makes you reach for your drink, Fluffies gives you control without sacrificing flavor. Pair your order with mac and cheese, load up on seasoned fries, and don't skip the signature sauce, customers consistently call it out as a standout on its own.

The hours say everything about what this place is built for: open every single day from 7 AM straight through to 3 AM. Late-night cravings, post-shift hunger, Sunday afternoon comfort food, Fluffies has a time slot for all of it. Hackensack now has a hot chicken spot that doesn't close when the night gets interesting.

What We Offer

Fluffies Hot Chicken centers its menu around Nashville-style hot chicken done right. The chicken tenders arrive well-marinated, seasoned through the meat, and fried to a crisp that holds up. You choose your heat level, from plain to fire, and the kitchen treats each tier seriously rather than just adding more powder.

Sides are not an afterthought. The seasoned fries come out crispy and well-salted, and the mac and cheese rounds out the plate with a creamy, satisfying texture. The house sauce brings a tangy, bold depth that works as a dip, a drizzle, or both. Everything is built to eat in or take out without losing its integrity on the ride home.

With doors open from 7 AM to 3 AM every day of the week, Fluffies fills a genuine gap in Hackensack's food scene. It's the answer to a late dinner after a long Friday, a weekend lunch craving, or a Tuesday night when nothing else is open and you need something that actually tastes like effort went into it.

"I recently visited Fluffies Hot Chicken in Hackensack and had a great experience. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The Nashville hot seasoning had the right balance of heat and taste. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick even during a busy time. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. If you're a fan of hot chicken sandwiches, tenders, or loaded comfort food, this spot is definitely worth a visit."

"This place was definitely worth the trip! They offer unique and delicious dishes with varying levels of spice. I got the mild heat chicken with mac and cheese and my girlfriend got the plain version of the same thing. Our meals were hot and fresh and by the end of the night we had nothing left. Both dishes had great flavor and we had leftovers which we brought home and finished later the same night. The portions were great for the price and we both felt full after eating about half our meals. The only regret is not getting a dessert, too! We both agree we wish there was a location closer to us!"

"Solid Chicken Tenders, was seasoned and marinated well. Fries were very crispy and seasoned. Mac was good, the texture being a bit off would be my only complaint. The sauce is really good, similar to a Chick-fil-A sauce. Definitely would say this place is better than Dave's Hot Chicken."

"The chicken tenders were very large and tasty but not very crispy. The issue I had is that everything is served in one box with the hot (heat) tenders and fries on top of and beside the coleslaw and pickles. I wanted to like the coleslaw but I just couldn't bring myself to eat warm coleslaw. The pickles while also warm, making them less pleasant to eat on their own, contributed to making the fries soggy as they sat on top of the pickles and slaw under the chicken. I would kindly suggest they use 2 separate containers to keep the cold things cold and the hot stuff hot and crispy."
