Restaurant Review – Angry Chickz Hot Chicken

It seems as though there is a new fried chicken restaurant opening every week here lately. Nashville style ‘hot chicken’ has been a very popular trend the past few years and if you like spicy food, you are probably a fan.

Angry Chickz is the latest chain to open a location here in Glendale, they are located on Bell Road, just west of 51st Avenue, in the property formerly occupied by Del Taco.

Their menu is fairly simple, which is usually a sign of a restaurant knowing what they do well and sticking to it. I had the Combo #2, which is ‘Two hot chicken tenders over white bread with pickles and fries.’

At the time, I was doing my best to be low carb, so I didn’t try the bread and just a few of the fries. The chicken was excellent, it was a breaded chicken breast and it was very fresh.

I enjoy spicy food for sure, but I know my limits and I had to keep it on the lower end of the spectrum. I went with just their mild spice and it was very good. Just enough pow and not overwhelming. As fried chicken goes, it was good and as to be expected.

The one trend I don’t like about the many fried chicken places, is the pricing. My combo was $13 and did not include a drink, so that was another $3. Add in tax and a tip and lunch is nearly $20.
