Ordered the Dangerously Hot Chicken Sandwich- it was real spicy but the sauce is just awesome! worth the drive and the price! 1 sandwich comes to $10 and if you buy 2, they give it for $16. DONOT come expecting a typical unseasoned shriveled up fried chicken with no flavor! Its common sense- the fried chicken is going to get soggy as you let it sit since its drenched in their house sauce. Its a small family run business and you get a bang for your buck!

Nothing tasted great and the fried chicken was generally underwhelming.

Big boss fried chicken has the best lunch special (sandwich plus options which I took 2 tenders hot plus can soda for around $12 with tax) and equally delicious fried chicken sandwich! Who doesn't like a fried tender delicious oversized chicken thigh patty? Seriously need to bite multiple times before getting to the actual bread! This is what I call the best meat to bread ratio. The medium heat was the right amount of heat with their slaw doing the perfect balance to the heat and giving texture. Tenders were delicious and hot was spicy but flavorful. Nothing dry inside!

Best fried chicken sandwich you can get in the city hands down. Ever since they've opened, this has been my go-to spot because of how consistent they are. Juicy never dry, sauce is delicious, and portion is pretty big.

Food: I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with medium heat since it was noted to "feel the burn". So, I will start by saying I did commute with this sandwich home. It smelled delicious the whole way home, so I was eager to try it. I will say I wish I had tried it fresh out of the kitchen to give a complete justified review. With that said, the chicken sandwich wasn't as crispy or as crunchy in terms of coating as I had dreamed of. But I blame that partially on me for waiting to eat it until I got home. If anything, the texture of the coating on the chicken was slightly soggy. The slab of chicken used for the sandwich was a nice big portion which was moist even after the commute. The heat on this "mild/medium" was extremely underwhelming. The jalapeno and slaw gave this sandwich a slight boost in terms of a flavor enhancement but not enough to steal the show. With all that said, I would not personally venture out to try this sandwich again. Service: Order at the counter upon walking in. You can order at a small tablet on the counter or through the cashier. She handed me a menu. I ordered. She disappeared into the back. Popped out to tell me I could sit while I waited. Went back. Popped back out with my food in a to-go bag when it was ready. Atmosphere: To begin with, this vibrantly illustrated restaurant front is out on a dingey street corner, cracked sidewalk, right before a viaduct. It's not the most welcoming and appealing spot to be in. On the inside, it's not wildly better. When this place first opened, I can see from past photos that the floors were creatively drawn and written on. Now, however, the floor looks like it has drops of painting everywhere haphazardly. The floor has seen better days I'm sure. Seating is very basic and limited. There were a few customers inside. The place just seemed a little in the run-down side. I didn't have enough time to dine-in but wouldn't have wanted to if I could.
