The Best Hot Chicken In LA

"At just $6.95, you can get two sandwiches at Al’s Hot Chicken - one for now, and one for later when you realize you’ve become addicted to LA’s spiciest hot chicken. Here it comes with all the traditional characteristics of the Tennessee staple: strong cayenne flavor, crispy skin made from a fiery dry rub, and chili oil that fills all the nooks and crannies on every piece of chicken. Al’s Nash sandwich is topped with a lightly toasted bun filled with their secret sauce, a boneless breast, pickles, and a sweet yet crunchy slaw. Again, this place is a go-to for the tried and true, but keep in mind that the chicken here is seriously hot - one spice level even requires an actual waiver. This potentially hazardous chicken comes in at 2.2 million SHU, which is science lingo for, “Please think twice because your body might never forgive you.” You’ve been warned." - sylvio martins
