"Now with a second location in Artesia, this popular hot chicken spot claims that the secret to their delicious hot chicken is their signature rub of over 30 spices. This complex mixture then gets smothered on the chicken a whole 24 hours before frying for a firey burst, bite after bite. The final result is a juicy boneless chicken breast with flaky skin and that Nashville kick that slowly creeps up on you, but that’s where the ties to tradition are cut short. Crimson Coward’s chicken breasts are on the thinner side and jut out from the sandwiches’ buns. And their stacked Homestyle sandwich is a spicy take on the classic grilled cheese with toasted white bread, American cheese, juicy hot chicken, coleslaw, pickles, and Crimson sauce. Cheese and spicy chicken might seem like an odd combo at first, but the cheese’s velvety melt adds some great creaminess to the crispy chicken. Also, when have we ever passed up a grilled cheese? Never." - sylvio martins
