"Main Chick Hot Chicken is a Pasadena chicken spot that has expanded its Nashville-style operation into multiple locations around town. The chicken here has a flavorful dry rub that really comes through on the first bite. Their tenders always come out piping hot (both temperature and spice-wise), so we recommend giving your chicken a moment to cool before digging in. It’s understandable if you can’t resist this fluorescent red chicken, but you might end up with some full-body sweats when the heat kicks in. We always go for the spicy leg quarters here, which are big portions generously brined for a little extra pop. Pair it with some white bread to mop up the extra sauce in your box, or maybe even pat your forehead if you can’t handle the heat." - sylvio martins
