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.

Best chicken in Denver! Medium spice was perfect for me! Chicken is so juicy and fresh! Best Nashville chicken in town!

Solid flavors. Probably a bit overpriced in my opinion. Great chicken and fries though.

All chicken is dry rubbed to adjust "spice", I barely broke a sweat on the reaper their most intense variety. I'm not sure there is reaper in it, tastes more like ghost pepper which is fairly bitter. The medium had more sugar and paprika than anything. Hot was still sugary, which I was not a fan of. Fries taste of the chicken seasoning as well, one note. The best reprieve was pickle of which you receive 4 or 5. Sauce is a Mayo mash up, not much to write home about- it's free which is a relief because I would not pay for mo... read more

Really cool little spot, great vibe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - and a pickup window outside for online orders it looked like.

Impulse late lunch delivered from this place was so good! Loved the spice of the medium and tried mild as well for both tenders and sliders. Will definitely be repeating- so far the best hot chicken I've found in Denver!

If you want hot, this is the place to be. The medium stings, I can't imagine going hotter but if that's your thing then you're going to love it!

Amazing. Crunchy fried chicken tossed in 1 of 7 sauces ranging from super mild to 'Reaper'. I had the 'Extra Hot' and it was just right. I would highly recommend for a quick bite.

Very impressed. Got a slider and a tender combo (medium heat) with a milkshake. Everything was very good across the board. Will be back.
