The Budlong Hot Chicken - Illinois & Colorado
Chicago might not be the place that comes to mind for finger-lickin' good Nashville hot chicken, but one visit to The Budlong will convince you otherwise. Operating in quick-serve counter-style, they offer locally sourced, antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken. You can get some on the bone or off in the form of a sandwich. They also do tenders and a chopped chicken salad. Regardless what you choose, make sure you pick the right heat level because the X-hot isn't messing around!
