The original and gold standard for ‘hot chicken.’ Fried chicken is served based on spice level, ranging from “unbelievably hot” for the adventurous to “choose heat carefully” for first-timers. Be prepared to wait, but know that it’s worth it. Founded by Thorton Prince in the 1930’s, the tradition lives on through Prince’s great niece, Ms. Andre Prince Jeffries.

“[Prince’s] is the real deal. Go easy for your first time, and don’t touch your eyes. Been there, done that.” – Oginalii
