Hot Boys Chicken: Heat Meets The Heartland
Temperatures are rising in Indiana, and we aren’t just talking about the weather. Let’s get one thing straight: when it comes to a good spicy sandwich, if you’re not sweating a little, you aren’t doing it right. Forget cornfields and basketball for a sec—we’re talking about World Famous HOTBOYS, the fiery fried phenomenon heating up the Hoosier state one crispy bite at a time.
West Coast Meets Midwest
Originally from Oakland, California, but now expanded to Indiana, Hot Boys Chicken brings that bold, juicy, Southern-style Nashville heat with a side of crinkle fries. Whether you're a mild muncher or a spice daredevil ready to take the heat, there's something for every palate — and every level of bravery. The famous sandwiches are stacked with coleslaw, pickles, and the legendary comeback sauce.
Best of the Menu
Tenders
Crispy, juicy perfection — no frills, just fire. These are a solid move if you're sharing with friends.
Pro move: Ask for all the dipping sauces. Especially the comeback and honey butter — opposites attract, and your taste buds will thank you.
Chicken & Waffles
For when you can’t decide between sweet or spicy. The waffles are fluffy, the chicken’s hot, and it all comes together with a syrupy drizzle.
Crinkle Cut Fries
Golden, crispy, and built to carry sauce like it’s a job. Don’t skip them. Ever.
Heat Levels:
Mild – For the spice-shy.
Medium – A friendly kick.
Hot – Okay, now we’re sweating.
Hot AF – For those who fear nothing
Make the Trip
Hot Boys has two locations in Indianapolis and Carmel. Bonus: The Indy Hot Boys is dangerously close to a few solid breweries, so you can cool your tongue with a craft beer and pretend you weren’t crying 10 minutes ago. The next time you’re road-tripping through Indiana and need a break from the usual, do yourself a favor: find the nearest Hot Boys Chicken, roll up with an empty stomach, and prepare to fall in love. Your mouth may never be the same. But honestly? That’s the point.
