So being Muslim and only eating Halal I can’t always eat the newest fads but with things and times becoming more modern things are becoming a little more Muslim friendly. .. I remember the days where we could only eat cheese pizza or get halal food that was either Indian or afghan but my how times have changed.
..
I also remember the days where you would have to drive 30+ minutes away to get a halal option to eat but now we have them within our own neighborhood.
..
Us halal only eaters weren’t able to get into the Chick Fil A versus Popeyes battle but we can get in on this spicy chicken sandwich fad!
This beauty right here is a Medium+ heat Chicken Sandwich from World Famous Hotboys in Oakland.
..
They have several heat options:
Southern (no spice)
Training Wheels (light spice)
Mild (reg)
Mild + (spicy)
Medium (very spicy)
Med + (extremely spicy)
Hot (painfully spicy)
Hot Hot (that comes with 4 warnings)
The sandwich is a great size, the meat is way bigger than the bun and it is sauced to the Gods! The sandwich is topped with slaw and pickles on a sweetened bun.
I love spice and this spice level was great for me to fully be able to enjoy my burger, any hotter and I would have had to gulp down water as I ate it which would totally take away from the amazing taste that the burger has. ..
The chicken is amazingly fried, juicy and crunchy.
..
Yes heat is something that they don’t skimp on if you can handle it but just know that their basic spice mix that they put on all their chicken before the heat is blasted on is great, full of flavor.
..
The sandwich is $12 which is a little pricey but it is totally worth trying (this sandwich is huge)!
..
Not a sandwich fan? They also have:
leg and thigh
breast and wing
1/2 bird
wings
Beans
greens
fries
Mac and cheese
Bonuts (their version of donuts)
Slaw
..
The location is great, they have parking all around the building and in the neighboring area (it is meter parking), but be ready for one way downtown streets.
..
The service is really nice, they call your number on the microphone with little puns when your order is ready.
..
Order before you come on their website, we didn't know and had to order when we got there on the site. Took about 70 minutes for our order to be made but it was made to order and really fresh when we got it. The place is in a great location so you can wonder around or take a drive down the block to Jack London Square (That's what we did).
