Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2023, Butterflied Chicken has three inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Jul 22, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “food contact surface not properly washed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
