Welcome to Ricky’s Hot Chicken!

This place is a fried chicken game-changer! The tenders I got had great seasoning, crunch, and large portions for the price. They were also served very fast. I went with the "Medium" level and it was the perfect amount of kick. The sides were a solid complement to the star of the show. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned. If you're a fried chicken lover, do yourself a favor and head to Ricky's. Your taste buds will thank you!

It's been a whole year since I've been to Ricky's and I decided to scratch that itch with some of my friends recently. The line was short when we entered, but it quickly became never ending and out the door shortly after us. I didn't feel like getting messy with the sando, and the birds nest is a lot of food. I decided to get their jumbo tenders instead with medium spice. I don't usually go higher since I just want to enjoy the chicken without suffering from spice. What I didn't realize is that for tenders they make it more spicier than the sando. What I thought was going to be a medium spice actually felt like a hot or xtra hot. The tenders are big too and I could only finish 2 of the 3. I felt like there were certain parts of the tenders that were a little dry. All good though, just training my spice tolerance

Everything about this place is great! When you walk in there is a small eating area (looks like you mainly pick up for takeout) and a full line of employees making fresh chicken. My husband and I ordered the HOT chicken (Half chicken and I got the tenders). The size on these meals were enough for two people. Let me stay the HOT is HOTTTT and I forgot my tums, but it was so good. The chicken tenders and half chicken were fried just right, with the perfect crunch, the zesty fires amazing, and the cole slaw was just the right amount of vinegar to beat the heat. I already have plans to go back!

BOMBBBBB! Best chicken I have had in DFW period. There is a line usually, but they are organized and they get you your fresh chicken in a timely manner. I literally have no complaints. This is now in rotation for sure.

I came here for the ducks only, jk. I had the xL Hot & man I was sweatin. The fries were delicious as well. Small location but they have a great system which keeps a constant flow inside. Great spot and great food

Whenever I'm looking for a chicken fix, this is where I go; hands down the best hot chicken in town! The service here is always great. Despite the long lines, they get you in and out quick. I've tried almost everything on the menu, but my go-to are the wings... it's just so good! It's something about the seasoning that gets you hooked. BEWARE: their spicy levels are serious business. I've had the mild, medium, and hot and that's as far as I'm willing to go without sacrificing enjoyment from every bite.

If you're looking for Nashville HOT, this is the place to get it! Super friendly staff, simple menus, quick process, AMAZING FOOD!! It's a small place so don't expect to be wowed here. There is a big and clear menu with all the options and a Spice Meter as well. They have different varieties of chicken meat (tender, legs, thighs etc..), sides, and heat levels. Take your pick, order at counter, and wait till they call your name (it took about 10mins) We got the chicken n waffles which is available on weekends only- so hearty, so crispy, so juicy, and oh boy did it hit the spot (heat level HOT) And we got an order of the tender (XHot - ghost scorpion heat ) the server gave us a fair warning ‼ when we got this one! For the sides we got the Fireballs (cheese curds), Shake Fries (which were crunchy, with the perfect spice flavors) and the comeback sauce! Overall the food was super delicious and pretty much perfect!!! If you're looking for that kick in the a** - this is a must try!

This place always serves hot fresh food! & I do mean Hot Chicken! Not just spicy, but freshly made to order... They have a greet variety of items, which makes ordering easy. My kiddo enjoys their tenders, wife loves their legs & thigh, and I am a big fan of their Bird's Nest! My girls can only handle mild & I'm barely able to enjoy medium! I tried hot once, and it was just too much spice to enjoy comfortably. At least for me, So do yourself a favor and make sure you know what spice level you're into before ordering it.
