Nashville hot chicken with Middle Eastern spices & ice cream cones
"Chicago is the land of mild sauce, the only good use for ketchup in the city (the famous condiment is a mixture of the stuff with barbecue sauce and other flavorings). But Hot Chi Chicken proves that this city enjoys its heat with a wonderfully hot sandwich that mocks the fascination with a certain fast-food chain. “Popeyes Ain’t !@#%” brings heat thanks to a mixture of Kashmiri and other chiles with some harissa for a multi-culture party in your mouth. Please be careful about the spice levels and don’t wipe your eyes." - Naomi Waxman
"Hot Chi Chicken has taken over a former Harold’s Chicken Shack on 87th Street and the Dan Ryan Expressway with a unique brand of spices that combines many international traditions. The Palestinian-American menu is creative and the Popeyes Ain’t !@#$ fried chicken sandwich hits a little sweet, and then powers through with Kashmiri chiles that provide the heat that no fast-food scientist could come up with. This will clear your sinuses if you want, or you could show some restraint and order it milder." - Ashok Selvam
"Boasting items like a “Popeye’s Ain’t Sh!t” sandwich, this Chatham spot — located in a former Harold’s Chicken space — is full of bravado. It’s not just all talk, though: the kitchen backs up the swagger by making bodacious Nashville hot chicken packed with Middle Eastern spices and sauces. The menu features tenders and crispy wings topped with Alabama white sauce, plus five different heat levels. Diners can cool their mouths off afterwards with an ice cream cone. Online ordering is available here." - Eater Staff
"I noted Hot Chi Chicken Cones as a South Side chicken stand that makes an outstanding and unique sweet-and-spicy chicken using harissa and Kashmeri chilis." - Ashok Selvam
"A former Harold’s in Chatham has taken to use Middle East flair to liven up its fried chicken offering, called “Popeye’s Ain’t !@$%.” Aided by the garlic condiment toum and sumac, this sandwich has a unique zest that will make customers forget about that spinach-loving sailor." - Ashok Selvam
