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.

Delicious! I am not a huge chicken sandwich lover but this place is now on my rotation. Love how juicy the chicken is. Love the spice level "hot" it gets me sweating but not too spicy. Don't think I'll be brave enough to try anything hotter though. Fountain soda has pebble ice which is my favorite. Highly recommend this place

The establishment's interior exudes a minimalist charm, with sparse occupancy. The service was notably commendable, featuring generous offerings of additional sauces that complemented the culinary experience impeccably. The dishes themselves were exquisite, seasoned to perfection. The spicy, crispy chicken stood out distinctly, I have been here many times before and will be coming here many more times.

Solid hot chicken & kind workers who want honest feedback I got the Dave #1 through the drive through and order the Medium and Hot. The hot was less hot than I had expected (my heat tolerance is pretty good) but the Medium wasn't hot enough. Next time I would go both hot or 1 double hot. The chicken was great, the fries were a bit cold and the sauce was tasty enough. Quick, easy and decently priced, but if you're looking for the best hot chicken in Sacramento, this most likely is not your spot.
