The 12 Best Restaurants For Fried Chicken In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation
"Only order Mico’s at spice-level hot if you want to experience cosmic heat transcendence, because this counter-service spot in The Heights makes the spiciest hot chicken in town. Each thick patty and tender is packed with enough cumin to cover the I-10/610 interchange, with pockets of spice crammed into every nook and cranny. Even the dipping sauce has a ribbon of cumin swirled in. If it weren’t for the pickles, crunchy slaw, and buttery bun on Mico’s sandwich, one might faint from heat exposure. Come here to feel hot, get some sun—there’s no indoor seating—and drink your weight in fresh lemonade." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
