Spicy Boys is a Southeast Asian-inspired fried chicken joint making sandwiches, nuggets, and, of course, fried chicken. We’re big fans of the O.G. sandwich here—a mild-spiced piece of chicken dressed with papaya relish, Thai basil ranch, chili-honey sauce, scallions, and crispy shallots. But if the weather isn’t already making you sweat, you can add a little more heat with the Hot Gai. It’s a little spicier and comes with the addition of swiss cheese—a somewhat controversial move in the world of fried chicken sandwiches, and one that we’re fully on-board with.
