Momofuku | Las Vegas, NV
Spicy Fried Chicken with a sweet and tangy twist, this fan-favorite features chicken marinated in maple syrup, curry and oyster sauce, dredged in rice flour and fried until extra crispy. It then gets doused in a duck fat/brown butter-based hot sauce, then drizzled with honey with fresh black truffle on top.
BAAR BAAR | New York, NY
Dubbed the Chicken 65, this spicy, deep fried chicken dish is usually eaten as a quick snack and features curd rice mousse, Podi Masala blend and sour cream for the perfect balance of texture, flavor and heat.
Sorra | Los Angeles, CA
Now available at Hollywood’s most exciting new rooftop bar, the Crispy Fried Chicken at Sorra features spicy fried chicken with chile arbol and local honey. It’s perfect for sharing, though you may not want to!
City Winery Nashville | Nashville, TN
Blending Asian-style cuisine with a true Southern classic, the Nashville Hot Chicken Egg Rolls at City Winery Nashville feature hot chicken, red and green cabbage, chives, cheddar and cream cheese.
SkinnyFATS | Dallas, TX
Easily the “hottest” sandwich on the menu, the Blaze of Thunder at SkinnyFATS features crispy Nashville hot chicken topped with creamy slaw and pickles inside a brioche bun.
So glad hot chicken is spreading past the south, count me all the way in. Bookmarking these for a road trip, which spot is the must try?
Honestly Hattie B’s is the one i send everyone to, start at medium unless you really mean it lol. Prince’s is the OG if you want the original though!
