Underdog Hot Chicken

Underdog Hot Chicken keeps the menu focused at 160 Brighton Avenue. The main choices are a chicken sandwich, tenders, or a combination of wings and drumsticks, each available as a meal with a side. The sandwich layers two tenders with kale slaw, pickles and comeback sauce on a toasted brioche bun.

That short list makes the decision mostly about how you want your chicken served. A sandwich contains the meal in one place; tenders give you something to dip, while wings and drumsticks are the bone-in option. Ask about the available heat levels before ordering if spice is the deciding factor for you. Monday service starts later than the rest of the week, and Friday and Saturday run later, so check the day’s schedule before heading over.
