Big Boss Spicy Fried Chicken

Wow what an amazing hiding gem. I always pass through this place and this was the first time I decided to try it. Well let me just say I wasn't disappointed. The lady that took my order was super nice and had an amazing costumer service. She even explained to me the levels of spiciness I could choose from. I decided to go for the jumbo mild chicken tenders, and cheese fries. My gosh the tenders were very good and fresh. The fries had a mixture of curly and waffle fries. The cup of cheese was very good too. The place looks very urban with graffiti on the walls. I loved the decoration. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

So incredibly bland. The cheese dog is first half mozzarella cheese and then half a hot dog. Definitely not enough seasoning in the breading. It was coated with granulated sugar. It was served with a cafeteria-style honey mustard.Their signature large sandwich was also disappointing. The chicken patty is composed of thigh meat. Both meat and breading need a splash of flavor

Honestly, the food was not that bad. The chicken on the chicken sandwich was very wide for the bun which was intentional. Also, the breading on the chicken would resemblea McDonalds nuggets. The macaroni was okay, a little too heavy for my liking. Overall, I would definitely try this place again but with a different item.

My goodness, I was seriously not expecting this sando to be so BAD!!! I really should've taken the sticky and unclean window countertop as a sign to leave to begin with. Also what is it with these eateries and their colorful, eclectic graffiti art? I've been to a few others with that same 'hipster' art and food has been either mid or downright nasty. Lesson learned now, I suppose. I am upgrading to 2 stars, mainly due to the cashier's willingness to issue me a refund for the sando which I greatly appreciated. This does not, however, dismiss my sheer disappointment with this sando. Two measly bites and I was done! And I didn't even get to the rest of the toppings. I think you would understand why I couldn't finish the rest of this monstrosity by looking at the insides of it. Like is this really even chicken or what?? The perfectly rectangular shape of my "chicken" resembled that of an elementary school cafeteria style chicken patty, except with somewhat more visually appealing breading. Never have I EVER seen a chicken sando portion from a restaurant shaped like this. I couldn't put my finger on what it was supposed to be: a thigh? Breast? Neck? Gizzards? Liver? Scrap parts all formed together? Yeah, that's likely it. Certainly a red flag in my book! The juices, for the record, came only from the outlying grease of the breading rather than the meat itself. The sliced jalapenos looked fresh but the coleslaw smelled absolutely rancid! Bun was nicely buttered and toasted, but dry as could be. The one American cheese slice I added couldn't have bothered to be melted either!I've been to Nashville so I do believe I know my hot chicken quite well. With that being said, the 'burn' sensation on my lips was there at least, having ordered the highest spice level. And I'm all for internationally inspired hot chicken, but it must be good (meaning fresh and well prepared/seasoned) in order to win over my approval. The waffle fries were clearly frozen, and the oil used for them tasted at least a week old. No dipping sauce could ever have salvaged those lost causes, that's for sure! I do not recommend overall and promise you're far better off going to Dave's or Fry The Coop. Seriously, you'll thank me later!!

This was my first time it was very nice inside fries where very good the chicken sandwich was good and the mac & cheese was the best

First of all, because artwork inside and out!!! Food is always top shelf and even though parking options are limited, that's okay because service is pretty fast!!!

I only came here once and it was awhile ago. I got the big boss sandwich with regular spicy level. I loved it. A good amount of spice, meat was juicy, and the sandwich was huge. Price wasn't too bad. It was easy to find free street parking located by that park. I took it to go since the place wasn't big. I'll have to try this again the next time I'm in the area.

This place has good overall reviews which caused me to give them a shot. Upon walking in I was greeted with a filthy, dungeon that was immediately off putting! I thought they specialized in chicken but they sell a ton of Asian food as well which also threw me off. The presentation of the food was gross. It looked burnt & inedible. Then I look at more recent reviews & several people mentioned getting sick & I was mentally checked out then! I took a bite , found it to be overly seasoned but still had no taste. I know that makes no sense but it was gross. I threw it out!

Big boss spicy fried chicken is one of my favorite fried chicken spots in Chicago. This is definitely distinct from Korean Fried Chicken spots- here the fried chicken is more of a blend between Nashville hot and Asian themed flavors. I would highly recommend the spicy fried chicken sandwich- it is absolutely gigantic and less than $10. The sandwich has a little more mayo based sauce than I typically like, but other than that it is great. I would also note that the chicken here gets soggy if you carry out, so for the best texture and taste would recommend dining in!

Got the signature sandwich with medium spice. It was quite yummy, and honestly incredible considering the price. It was one of the few times the chicken was significantly bigger than the bun. Service was a bit slow but I was also a part of a bit crowd - just make sure to hold on to the receipt!Would recommend :)
