Massive fried chicken sandwiches with unique spice blends
"Like World Famous Hot Boys and Cali Alley, we talked a lot about Hetchy’s Hots, especially during the onset of the pandemic, and with good reason. The Square Pie Guys spin-off in SoMa makes great Nashville-inspired hot sandwiches that come with delicious sauces, massive cuts of chicken, and toppings that range from Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to taco spice to Calabrian chilies." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"The roll originally began as a recipe collaboration developed for the limited-run fried chicken sandwich shop Hetchy’s Hot this May, when Marc Schechter tapped Anderson to create a fried chicken sandwich roll; they went back and forth on flavor and texture and ultimately chose the garlic-infused oil and sesame-seed approach to achieve a nutty flavor and added texture." - Dianne de Guzman
"I was excited to see Hetchy’s Hots return for a three-day pop-up (May 15–17) at 1077 Mission Street, reviving the gloriously breaded and fried chicken sandwiches the shop became known for; for this run the sandwiches are served on a special hoagie roll and include two options: the Vodka Parm, featuring a breaded and fried chicken cutlet smothered in vodka sauce, topped with fresh mozzarella and finished with a Calabrian chile compound butter, and the Szetchy Hot, a fried cutlet seasoned with the same Szechuan spice blend used on the restaurant’s wings, dunked in spicy oil and served with pickled red onions and house-made Kewpie-style mayo. The sandwiches are $16.50 each, limited to 50 per day, dine-in only between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., with $5 Eventbrite deposits toward a sandwich." - Dianne de Guzman
"The Bay Area loves a fried chicken sandwich, and one we can get behind is from Hetchy’s Hots, a takeout-only spot in SoMa from the Square Pie Guys. Our go-to is made with a massive chicken thigh that’s doused in house-made chili oil and dusted with spice mix, and then topped with calabrian spices and a lemon aioli. But you won’t be disappointed with whatever you choose, whether it’s the one with ranch powder and pickled onions, or the one stuffed with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos." - Lani Conway
"Spun off from Square Pie Guys as an online‑only fried chicken sandwich business, Hetchy’s Hots quickly sold 10 to 20 times more sandwiches than the pizza shop ever did; the owners treat it as a sandbox and testing ground for new marketing and menu ideas, and if sales continue to grow a standalone Hetchy’s Hots storefront is a definite possibility." - Luke Tsai
