I finally had the chance to try Huston Hot Chicken, and I’ve got to say—the food quality is definitely there. Everything tastes fresh, the chicken is cooked well, and the seasoning has a nice kick without being overwhelming. You can tell they care about putting out a good product.
That said, I have to be honest about the portion sizes, especially with the 3 tender meal. The tenders are on the smaller side—so much so that I found myself wishing there was just a bit more on the plate. For comparison, the tenders at Dave’s Hot Chicken are literally twice the size and, in my opinion, have a little more flavor punch. Don’t get me wrong—Huston’s tenders are still tasty, but when you’re talking “hot chicken,” I’ve had better overall experiences elsewhere.
The sides are solid and pair well with the chicken, but again, you might leave feeling like you could eat just a bit more. If you’re someone who values quality over quantity, you’ll probably be happy here. If you’re looking for that big, bold hot chicken experience with massive portions, you might want to explore a few other spots.
Still, Huston Hot Chicken is worth a try, especially if you want good-quality chicken and a cleaner, lighter take on the hot chicken craze.
