About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

If you want chicken with no flavor, go to Raising Cane's. If you want seasoned chicken, go to Daves hot chicken. Love the chicken here!

So what's all the fuss about. Finally ate here and we ordered mild and hot tenders. Also a tender hot sandwich. Ok. Mind blown. The bread they add is a nice touch. Ultimately the chicken. Wow. Juicy. Nice cut. The rub is out of this rub. I would dare not try reaper but mild is not for me. Hot was a perfect balance of spice. Just so delicious.

Very satisfied with my lunch! The way they prepare the chicken is unlike anything I've experienced. Fries were also very good. The hot sauce they give you is not that hot, so if you need fire-level spice you may want to specify that. The medium level spice I would describe as "low medium." I'll be back!
