Haven Hot Chicken

Food and service were great! The chicken is breaded and fried perfectly and generous portion. Mac and cheese was delicious as well. My fiancé got the fries with “the shake” which is this dusting of spices and I didn’t care for that ( just my preference). Glad Milford has a hot chicken place! Also just to note- the indoor dining is tiny, only 2 tables.

We’ve previously visited Haven Hot’s original location in New Haven, and we’re already big fans, so we were super excited to visit their new location in Orange! This is a few minutes closer to home for us, and we love that this location has a parking lot and a couple of tables to sit at. The food was as good as ever! My boyfriend took down the double off menu sandwich for a second time, and he believes it was even hotter at this location than in New Haven. Though he may have shed some tears, he said the flavor of the sandwich was fantastic! Meanwhile, I stuck mild tenders, which was a perfect spice level for me. The chicken is always juicy, never dry, and the fried coating is perfect. I love their garlic dill pickles and all of Haven Hot’s speciality sauces, especially the Rob Sauce and Sweet Sauce. I tried their mac and cheese for the first time, which had just the right amount of black pepper for flavor. Get it topped with their house seasoning to really make it a game changer - I’m already addicted to their seasoned fries! Banana pudding is a great dessert to have on the menu to cool down with after a spicy meal. I’m sure it won’t be too long until we’re back for more!

Love this new location! Beautiful and clean and the chicken is absolutely delicious. Staff is always smiling and seem genuinely excited to serve incredible food. Perfect stop pre-or post a run to Trader Joe’s!

This chicken is so great - easily beats out any fast food rival! Several spice levels to choose from, from no spice to incredibly spicy. We each got THE Sandwich - perfection! Juicy and crispy all at once.

Also notable - this place is open seven days a week, and open to everyone. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are vegetarian and halal menu options, and an all-gender restroom.

There are limited dining seats inside, so expect to take out. Online ordering and mobile pickup are also available.

Overall, a great addition to Orange!

Hot, tasty and yummy sandwich. Medium heat has little kick. Will have to step it up on the next one.
