Listen, out of all the places to get chicken at a gas station, Asads Hot Chicken is #1. I'm being tongue in cheek here, but seriously, their chicken is good.
You DO have to get over the fact that they ARE, literally, a trailer, parked in a gas station, but if you eat the food, you probably won't mind anymore.
I've seen this place get pretty crowded, but when we went, it wasn't much of a wait. We DID order ahead online, so that probably helped, but there were only 2-3 other people when we went at lunch time during the week.
It certainly ain't cheap, as the one slider meal (w/fries) runs about $10, but you will at least be getting some good chicken. Also, through some luck or sorcery, my dining companion had the option to upgrade his fries to loaded fries for a $1, which is the hookup of the century. Definitely do that, if you see the same option online! Shit, ask them at the window. The loaded fries looked AMAZING.
ANYWHO, the meal was delicious, with customizable spice levels. The workers were surprisingly polite. I wasn't expecting much from a shipping container in a gas station on Cottman Ave, but I was pleasantly surprised at the use of "sir," "please" and "thank you." I will definitely be back. In fact, I think I'm going to go there Friday, when I'm back in the city.
