Chica's Nashville Hot Chicken serves up exactly what they advertise, which is hot southern-style chicken that is fried to perfection. There are few places in Toronto that specialize in one thing and do it really well... and this place is among the best on that list!
Everything on the menu is mouthwatering, and the size of the chicken is insane for the price. You will have to wait a good 10 or 15 minutes for your order, but every second is worth it. Don't make plans to come here until you're ready for an adventure. A sandwich took me a good hour to slowly chomp down, as I wanted to absorb the full 'Nashville' experience in one sitting.
Sides include bean salad, cole slaw, waffle fries, and all the other 'fixins' you'd expect them to have. They keep things really simple and straightforward here, and the staff is friendly. A cool variety of music plays in the background, and this establishment really brings charm and character to this classic Toronto neighbourhood. Believe the hype, these guys deserve five stars just on the food and service alone.
Pro tip: Kick it up a notch and try the medium or hot spicy chicken!
