Big Boss Spicy Fried Chicken

From the moment I walked into Big Boss Spicy Fried Chicken, I knew I was in for a treat. The smell of crispy fried chicken wafted through the air, and the staff greeted me with friendly smiles. The menu offered a variety of options, but I decided to go for the Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich and waffle fries.

Let me tell you, that sandwich did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly cooked - juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside - and the spice level was just right. The bun was soft and fresh, and the toppings (choice of spice level, onions, coleslaw, jalapenos, butter bun) added a nice balance to the heat. And those waffle fries? They were addictively delicious - crispy and seasoned to perfection.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was also great - clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were attentive and made sure I had everything I needed.

Overall, I would highly recommend Big Boss Spicy Fried Chicken to anyone in the Chicago area. If you're a fan of spicy fried chicken, this place is a must-visit. The quality of the food and the friendly service make it a top-notch dining experience. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!

Great spicy chicken in a local restaurant with helpful staff! The chicken has lots of Asian sauce options, and don't worry about the spice scale, it runs a bit mild. The chicken itself has crunchy breading and is moist. They offer milk tea, but it's 90% creamer and the pearls don't have any flavor, so I'd skip it.

Over all good experience.. Their known for the spicy chivken sandwich. There is levels to the hotness 👌 The teas are good passion fruit mango is a hit. My favorite is the spicy chicken salad never a miss. Shrimp dumplings fried or steamed are very good. Calamari was perfect. Chesse dogs i recommend. Get the strawberry milk tea with black pearls there's so good!!!
The kids meals are perfect. My children ate all their food. Theres not an item i dont like yet!!The girl at the register knows my order by heart i love her! I think because i go so much she gave me a cute crab keychain

We got the spicy (Hot X) chicken sandwich and the half bird (Hot) chicken. I am a fan of the crispy, fried, and spicy chicken. The flavors came through and believe it was a fair price for the portion of food. Highly recommend!

Very good. Came in for lunch on a quiet Sunday. We were the only diners in there. They gave us free rangoons while we waited for our food :) & the half chicken had an extra leg too :) very good, crispy, the medium isn’t outrageously spicy. We’ll definitely be back.

The chicken is awesome 😎 crispy and the spice is perfect. The interior is very colorful. The only thing which i don’t like is the price but apart from that it’s very good. I am definitely coming back.

Love the food!! We got takoyaki, mac n cheese and fries for appetizer, free french toast because we spent more than $25!

We tried the X-HOT sandwich, leg and thigh big bird. It is spicy! So ge ready to start sniffling and sweating from the spicy heat!! Definitely recommended chicken place if u love spicy foods!!

Ordered the Dangerously Hot Chicken Sandwich- it was real spicy but the sauce is just awesome! worth the drive and the price! 1 sandwich comes to $10 and if you buy 2, they give it for $16.

DONOT come expecting a typical unseasoned shriveled up fried chicken with no flavor! Its common sense- the fried chicken is going to get soggy as you let it sit since its drenched in their house sauce.
Its a small family run business and you get a bang for your buck!

I really like the chicken at this place, have eaten here a couple times now and both times were great. I got the chicken sandwich one level below the spiciest option and it wasn’t that bad at all. This is coming from a person with a low heat tolerance. I will try the hottest flavor next time I go. I also got 10 drums in Korean spicy sauce. I wish they had more sauce but the overall flavor was good and the chicken was nice crispy and tender.

Big boss fried chicken has the best lunch special (sandwich plus options which I took 2 tenders hot plus can soda for around $12 with tax) and equally delicious fried chicken sandwich! Who doesn't like a fried tender delicious oversized chicken thigh patty? Seriously need to bite multiple times before getting to the actual bread! This is what I call the best meat to bread ratio. The medium heat was the right amount of heat with their slaw doing the perfect balance to the heat and giving texture. Tenders were delicious and hot was spicy but flavorful. Nothing dry inside!

The Chicken on a flavor profile is superb...Be aware of the levels of hotness...they are what they describe on the menu. The language barrier with the staff is somewhat shakey so prepare yourself ahead of time. The dining area was limited and a little cold also. But...I can't wait to go back!!

Best fried chicken sandwich you can get in the city hands down. Ever since they've opened, this has been my go-to spot because of how consistent they are. Juicy never dry, sauce is delicious, and portion is pretty big.

Southwest Chinatown has this gem of a Chicken place that does great justice to the 'spicy' in its name. Would highly recommend their signature Big Boss Sandwich to anyone who loves chicken. Beyond the 5 spice levels stated on their menu (Crispy fried, Medium, Hot, X Hot, Big Boss Hot) are 3 hidden levels of hotness. You could go all the way up to the Big Boss Hot x3 if you want to do that to yourself. The servers are very welcoming and amicable and space usually isn't an issue on weekends. They are open till 10 although Yelp and their website might show different times. Definitely coming back ♥🐔🍗🔥

Update 10/9/21: first time post pandemic, food still great! Highly recommend

This place was recommended by a friend as “the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.”

Entering from the outside, you’re not sure what to make of it. Lots of graffiti, and a huge chicken art. Not what one typically thinks for the Asian-styled chicken my friend raved about.

Inside it is extremely clean. 5/5 passes the “would I take my Asian mom there”

We got two chicken sandwiches and a half chicken: mild, medium and hot.

The chicken sandwiches were really good! Fresh chicken, fully seasoned, with coleslaw that pairs well. It maintains its juiciness while keeping the breading crisp. If anything, it might be almost too intense.

The half chicken flavoring was intense, while the breading maintained its tenderness. Chicken was good, “not extremely special,” but paired well with the breading. They probably brine the chicken, which makes it taste juicier than others.

Bonus: Passion Fruit Green Tea is a 10/10.

Overall, I would go again. 10/10. I don’t have enough experience with fried chicken as my friend, but this is definitely up there and a must try.

I had the big boss chicken samich and l really did enjoy eating that bad boy. A little PSA, the chicken samich is spicy. I eat spicy food and the medium was still spicy so if you can't haddle the heat, stay out the kitchen...just kidding but yeah go with mild. I can't comment on how good that one will be but Im sure it is just as good. Samich is pretty big so I think value wise, it is reasonable. I should of gotten the waffle fries with cheese but I will get that next time. I would definately recommend this spot.

After my first visit here a year ago, I came back to try the same meals again. I am very impressed with the change they made in the food, as it seems the owners listened to the feedback and reviews!

This time, the chicken are battered perfectly with the same taste & improved presentation! I love the flavor of the hot sauce (supposed to Nashville hot chicken style?) , but fair warning that it can be very spicy. The chicken sandwich is still big as ever and the hot sauce is fire. The chicken and sandiches are worth the prices (~$8-$13). They also expanded their menu to onclude more combos and other sides. I am really happy to see that the locally owned chicken business is still around, and made great improvements.

My favorite spicy fried chicken sandwich in Chicago. It seems to have an Asian flair in the flavor of the spice. It’s so damn fantastic. Do you like spicy friend chicken? You need to try this place it’s amazing!

I don't write reviews often ....and so here I am..the food was 😍...just amazing..I ordered the spicy chicken burger ..with a mild hot sauce..the size of the dish was perfect..cost was reasonable and all in all was an amazing 🍔. Recommend this for anyone stopping by..parking is limited and u can find parking adjacent to the place .

Great food and packaging for pick up.
The medium spicy chicken was really tasty !
Very affordable prices for all this food.

Friends has been recommending to this place for months, after getting disappointed from Popeyes chicken sandwich for having lack of flavor and dryness. This place is a hidden gem at Bridgeport, decent price and a giant portion of a chicken sandwich. I don’t think I ever had a chicken sandwich as tender as this, the popcorn chicken was good, the teriyaki thigh not so much. For only $1 getting a large portion chicken thigh and the soup was creamy and filling.
