A little 101: Hot chicken is fried, and the breading itself contains the seasonings and the heat. There’s nothing like it. And while several chains now serve it, Bolton’s is an original purveyor dating back for fifteen years. The East location is quite literally a chicken and fish shack with a to-go window and limited seating, so come as you are. A lesser mentioned delight of any hot fish or chicken experience is the mighty southern side dish. At Bolton’s there are about twelve to choose from, including mac and cheese, turnip greens, baked beans and potato salad.
