Chicken and Waffles

📍 Los Angeles Nashville Hot Chicken $$

at Howlin' Ray's

"Howlin' Ray's chicken and waffles is the dish that made Nashville hot chicken a Los Angeles obsession. The chicken is brined, dredged, and fried to a specific color — the heat level you order is the heat level you get, and it builds as you eat. The Belgian waffle is crisp-edged and the honey syrup is made with real honey. The line is worth it."
