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.

The absolute BEST hot chicken in NJ! I trek a half hour to eat here, and the two tenders combo (hot!) with cheese fries does not disappoint! The pickles are an excellent cooking addition, and the chicken is always moist and flavorful. The inside is clean, and there's seating available most of the time. The staff is friendly and efficient, plenty of parking, but there can be a little wait time. I definitely recommend trying this out!
Of all the hot chicken options that I've tried in the NE, I'd rank this around mid pack. Its still really good, but not the best IMO. The chicken is on smaller size, but then again the price is also lower. I ordered just a sandwich and was a little hungry after. I prefer places that have a more substantial piece of chicken. The chicken itself was flavorful, as were the various toppings that they added. Parking lot was crazy but that was likely related to the holiday.

Clean establishment, fast service and good food! Stopped in because I had heard about this place but never got a chance to try so I came here and wasn't disappointed! Chicken tenders were so crispy and man, they were NOT kidding about the reaper spicy level. Seriously, only do it at your own risk because it will not be fun for a couple of hours after... but ya know, if you're like me and doing it because you know you can, have fun!
