These chicken sandwiches pack a punch with varying levels of spice.
Nashville hot chicken done to perfection, this sando can’t be beat!
Howlin' Ray's Hot Chicken - Chinatown
Szechuan hot chicken sandwiches with pieces of chicken twice the size of the bun!
daybird
Buffalo chicken sandwiches, along with Nashville hot and Sichuan. If you’re going Buffalo, I’d recommend the Hot but you have four options for levels of spiciness.
Saucy Bird
This chicken sandwich comes with chili honey on it, giving it the perfect combo of sweet and spicy.
Le Coupe
A spectacular Northern Thai-style fried chicken sandwich with papaya slaw on it. Perfect for sharing or eating as a meal!
Night + Market Sahm
If you’re not willing to make the trek to Downtown or Pasadena, or wait in the line for Howlin’ Ray’s, Main Chick is your next best bet for Nashville hot chicken!

If you’re looking for something more tame and traditional, here are your best bets.
The BEST gluten-free option in the city but great for gluten eaters too! It has slaw, spicy mayo, and thinly-sliced Granny Smith apples on it.
The Misfit Bar & Restaurant
You can never go wrong with Ding’s Crispy Chicken Sandwich at any Hillstone restaurant! This is the chicken sandwich you want to take your parents to eat when they’re in town, a classic done well.
Honor Bar
Their chicken sandwich is available spicy too, but it’s the batter that makes this one top tier so no spice needed!
