Hot Chi Chicken

Just ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich at the HOTTT level of spice, no sides. It was $16.00 with tax and tip. Standard service, took the standard amount of time one would expect for a walk up counter fried chicken sandwich. I ended up sharing half with my hubs, and thought it was an appropriate amount of food for a lunch. It's a juicy, great quality chicken thigh- with tons flavor. The bread was great, the sauces and pickles were spot on. I couldn't tell the hot honey, but there was a lot happening between the buns.

I went around 6pm on a Thursday, the food hall overall was pretty empty. There was no line for Hot Chi Chicken and I've seen it on TikTok before so I thought I'd give it a try.I got the Hot Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich (mild). The staff were nice and the service was quick. There were many seats available in the food hall so my friend and I ate there.As for the sandwich it was a little disappointing. It didn't look as good as the ones I've seen reviews of. In addition to that it wasn't hot, just warm as if it had been sitting for a bit. The flavor was good but would have been better fresh. I would recommend coming here during a peak time for a better experience.

I have stopped by this location a few times whenever I have had to come downtown to work. Lunch is always a crowded session, so I tend to hold out until an hour or so after high noon. The Popeye's Ain't *Blee Blah* and the Hot Honey Butter have been my go-to sandwiches when I order from them. Those are some sloppy sandwiches, but they are so good. I keep telling myself to get the sauces on the side so that I can add however much I want when I return to the office. Somehow, I keep forgetting to follow through. Nevertheless, their tasty sandwiches get an encore every few months when I walk over to Revival Food Hall.

I first discovered this place at their south side location a couple years ago so one may wonder why I'd write a review for another location with almost the exact same food. Well to be honest this is probably the meal/lunch in the entire loop area & what I discovered about 2 months ago is they even have delivery. Now of course the price skyrockets when getting it delivered but you'd be hard pressed to find something this tasty in the entire area. Again they're heavy handed with the sauce & the fries are the heaviest so much so that the healthiest appetite won't be able to finish them. The fries could also use more time in the fryer but nonetheless this is the best meal/lunch in the loop & best chicken sandwich in Chicago.

Best hot chicken sando in Chicago! We tried both of them at Revival Food Hall before heading to The Nederlander for a fun musical, and they hit the spot. Both of the glazes, the honey butter and harissa, were amazing. The watermelon sugar drink was the perfect accompaniment. If you like crinkle cut fries, you'll love theirs. I know where to go next time I'm craving hot chicken!

Third time's the charm. My last two attempts at trying the new Hot Chi location didn't work out, but I finally got it. They claim to be halal, but in full transparency I couldn't find any certification posted.This one is located inside Revival Food Hall. The menu is simple enough and there are five heat levels for the chicken. The place was well staffed and service was friendly. I ordered the hot chicken tenders with medium spice; it came out pretty quickly. They didn't have plastic knives when I went, so eating the tenders was a bit tricky.This dish consisted of two tenders served atop toast with a couple of pickles and some sauce on the side. It cost $10, which was very reasonable.The tenders were awesome. Nicely sized, battered, and fried. They were juicy and tender, and the flavor was outstanding. I've tried a few hot chicken places like Dave's and Hangry Joe's, but Hot Chi has a very unique flavor. It seemed to be a mix of spicy, tangy, and a bit sweet. The side sauce was pretty good, too. And the medium spice level was actually medium spicy.

Carry-out hot chicken in Revival Hall is tasty, but so saucy that the breading is falling off. I guess I'm spoiled by the hot crispy Korean chicken we have in Northern Virginia like Wooboi and Chong Man. Busy, but service was quick.

Located in Revival Food Hall, this is a yummy spot to stop by for lunch if you work in the Loop or anywhere downtown! I liked that you found customize how spicy you wanted the chicken (based on a scale with about 5 options) and the unique twist on the items (e.g., harissa glaze on the Popeyes Ain't Sh!t). Service was great and despite being a busy lunch spot, moved quickly! I will definitely be back!

Service was quick. Ordered the Popeye's Ain't Sh*t sandwich at medium heat which was phenomenal. The chicken was a generously portioned, was well-battered & crunchy, and that sauce... I'll be thinking about it over from SF. Was surprised to see the low reviews on this place, but all-in-all this was probably my favorite food stop in Chicago and I only ordered the sandwich to be fair. Will be back for my next visit!

It's really disappointing when you read good reviews and then you walk for 15 mins and get to the restaurant and that becomes the end of your excitement. The lines were all empty but I still stood there abd waited for the cashier to call me, to my surprise I looked into my eyes and ignored. Another gentleman came from the back kitchen looked at me a again ignored. I tried to initiate the conversation with the first gentleman, again ignored but I guess 3rd time is the charm. So finally he said how can I help you, I asked about the halal food and he saif the sandwiches are halal. So I ordered 2 of their sandwiches he asked me how spicy I want them to be and I said mild. Got my sandwiches from him immediately and then came to my table with my partner. Hahahaha no fries or anything else but a small sandwich in a big box starring at me. I picked it up and took a bite and wow the amount of vinegar in it was outrageous so I thought I should try the seconf one and hahaha again same the amount of vinegar was mind blowing. The chicken was crispy on the top but inside very soggy. The buns were small and thr presentation was below average and they charged me almost $27 for this. This was my first and last visit to this establishment. This is outrageous and disappointing at the same time.
