Mrs. Chicken

Went here because of the review that said similar to Hattie B in Nashville. I thought the spice level was good but I was expecting more flavor than just heat. I personally don't think it ranks anywhere near Hatti B's. When I was in Nashville I ate at Hatti B's 3 times. Mrs. Chicken is not something I would pick. But this is only my opinion. I would say give it a try.

We drove all the way from Surprise AZ to dine at this cute little restaurant and it was definitely worth the trip. The restaurant was exceptionally clean and decorated in a chicken theme to fit their name and the food they serve. The service was impeccable. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. I ordered fried chicken (classic) with potato salad and my husband ordered the chicken tenders (medium hot) and fries. We were also served a delicious dessert that had a cake base with cheesecake on top and a very smooth salted caramel topping. It was delicious! We were very pleased with our meal and our dinning experience while there.

I got the 1/2 bird, red bean & rice, collard greens, & a sweet tea.

I’ve been to Nashville and had hot chicken from places like Hattie b’s or 400 degrees.

This place makes legit hot chicken. I had the “hot” and I almost regretted it lol. I would definitely go a heat level below next time.

The sides were all really good and you can tell the employees put pride in their work. Sweet tea was solid as well.

We got 2 leg quarters and wings (6 pieces). The leg quarter set came with a leg and a thigh, one side, prickle, and a slice of bread.

Fried chicken covered with crispy and crunchy spicy thick batter on the outside with soft and tender meat inside. I liked medium more than the hot spicy level. I will order again.

I’m thinking I’m gonna do a 🌶 🐔 🥪 (spicy chicken sandwich) tour. Which calls for traveling far and wide in search of the best spicy chicken sandwich.

That said, first up we have Mrs. Chicken. A slightly above moderately priced establishment tucked away in phoenix/Arcadia borderline (32nd st, just south of Indian school). I was out on by a dear friend that shares my same excitement and passion for a bombtastic chicken sandwich.

This establishment is small but clean with seating inside and outside with a mister system for the blistering Arizona heat or, which oddly makes perfect sense, the misting system could be meant to cool your body down for the level of extreme heat you’ll experience from taking one bite of a “hot” leveled sandwich. Don’t underestimate the level of spicy each level is. I had the hot yardbird and it was a little more than I could handle. And trust me when I say this, I can handle the heat.

Overall, my experience was great. The chicken was crispy and made fresh. The additional sauces you can purchase was great with dipping the sandwich in to reduce the heat. The only thing lacking was the counter service, it was my first time and I was hoping for an friendly and fun run down of how to really experience what Mrs. Chicken has to offer. I’m not saying be overly excited about a guest’s first time arrival but hit me with “yo, you should really get this because it’s so fire” or “ a lot of our guest get this dish and compliment it with our Arnold Palmer”. In reality, it was more like “What would you like to eat?” Please don’t confuse this as bad customer service, the young gentleman that helped me was polite and attentive. He just didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to wow a first time guest.
