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.

My wife and I went here because my friend recommended it to me, and they absolutely disappointed me. Our french fries were not fresh. I also did not like the spices covering the chicken. That is not the way you make spicy chicken! The powder came off easily when breathing and went directly to my throat and made me cough multiple times. And honestly guys! What do I do with a soaky toast under my chicken strips? What is that for? Could not you just use a biscuit or a piece of bread with a better look and taste?!
I think this has to be my favorite chicken slider spot until I find a better one! Chicken is perfectly fried and juicy, and the flavors are always consistently on point. I always add the cheese to my slider to give it additional flavor, and their crinkle cut fries are another perfect side to pair with your chicken. The sliced pickles on the side also give it a nice touch and their Dave’s sauce is an amazing addition. Can’t say enough good things about Dave’s and can’t wait to come back!
After reading Christina L.'s (yelp elite) review, I had to come down to Sunnyvale and get a spicy chicken sandwich. Her spicy chicken sandwich photos were awesome. It makes it easier to see photos and order what my yelp friends order so that I don't get any surprises. Sometimes it can be disappointing to see it in person though. I ordered the #2, 2x sliders w/fries $15 and a soda $3. Mine didn't look as good as Christina L.'s. The medium spicy level was good. The spicy chicken sandwich was delicious!

We went here for a takeout. First time here and heard all the hype. We ordered HOT #3 that comes with 1 tender and 1 slider and fries and an extra hot single tender. Not the best fried chicken we ever had. The chicken tenders was covered with powdery dry spice and you can taste the burnt from it which made it worse. The slider wasn’t bad since all the extra makes it better. The fries were seasoned well.
I moved here from Nashville. I know hot chicken. I've ordered delivery from here a few times and while the food was tasty it wasn't the heat I wanted even though I got the Reaper every time. This time I walked in and ordered. They made me sign the waiver and everything. Finally some good spice. If you want the chicken super hot make sure to go in person. I'm convinced they don't actually give anyone on Uber Eats the Reaper level. 5/5 stars this place could easily stand up to most Nashville hot chicken restaurants.
