Chica's Chicken
Hot Chicken Southern
Nashville-style hot chicken spot in the Junction, with a Michelin Bib Gourmand to its name. The chicken is dry-brined for two days before hitting the fryer, and the spice tiers run from approachable to ghost-pepper territory for anyone with something to prove. Bone-in birds are fried to order, so budget the half hour. The deep-fried pickles are a solid move while you wait in a bare room that rattles with rap at full volume.

Hot chicken
“This humble corner in the Junction is a faithful tribute to "hot chicken," a fiery, eye-watering style popularized in the American South.”

Boneless sandwich
“Diners in a hurry can grab a boneless sandwich and be on their way, but true fans know that excellence takes time and are content to wait the full half hour as bone-in birds are fried to order.”

Deep-fried pickles
“An order of deep-fried pickles won’t win you any points with your doctor, but they’re a solid starter while you wait in the bare dining room that booms with rap music.”
