What: Lil Chick – Spicy Chicken
Where: Hot Chicken Takeover – Columbus, OH
Cuisine: American
Affordability: $10
After spending almost 6 months in Ohio, I finally got a chance to try this Columbus specialty – Hot Chicken Takeover! If you like KFC, or any fried chicken really, go try this place, don’t wait 6 months like I did.
The restaurant is located upstairs inside of North Market. Be sure to go early as there are line ups out the door and they always sell out. I decided to go with the Lil Chick option (essentially the kids meal) and picked the “Warm” Heat level. For a grand total of $5.50, I got two pieces of perfectly deep fried, spicy hot drumsticks, unlimited (and free) iced sweet tea, a piece of bread (no clue why anyone would eat this), a slice of pickle and a scoop of cheeeeezy mac n cheese. Also, a Hot Chicken Takeover sticker.
It was an amazing lunch, probably not the healthiest….but it was totally worth it. You won’t regret it, I promise!
