World Famous HotBoys Chicken
W

orld Famous Hotboys started as a 2017 backyard pop-up and grew into one of the Bay's most beloved hot chicken spots — this San Pablo Avenue flagship near the Fox Theater is where it all began. The halal Nashville-style fried chicken comes in heat levels from Southern (no spice) all the way to HOT, and the sides are half the fun: pimento mac and cheese, loaded Swamp Fries, and sweet bonuts for dessert. The vibe is gritty, loud, and unmistakably Oakland, with events, music, and late-night hours on weekends (open till 2am Friday and Saturday). Ranked the #1 chicken sandwich in California — come see why.
