I have been eating Prince?s chicken for years and can confirm much of what has already been said. The service is not that good. The wait is often long. And the location is not in one of the nicer parts of town (I?ll let you decide whether or not you should be packing when you go). That said, I would not listen to reviews that wrongly analyze the ingredients or complain because the chicken is messy. Prince?s makes a very unique type of fried chicken. While this bird is definitely not for everybody, it is, in my opinion, the best ?hot chicken? around. This place did not develop its almost cult-like following and reputation by serving bad food. I would simply recommend giving it try and seeing for yourself whether it agrees with your tastes. Personally, I love it.\r

Here are a couple of tips for those who haven?t tried it: (1) When they say ?hot?, they mean it. This is not like ordering a spicy chicken sandwich or some spicy chicken at Popeye?s. The ?mild? at Prince?s is hotter than what many restaurants serve as ?spicy?. So if you are unsure of your tolerance for heat, consider starting out with the mild or medium. I have seen plenty of people, who thought they had a high tolerance for hot food, whipped by the hot and extra hot. If you can handle the medium with ease, then step up to the hot. (2) Have plenty of water. The saltiness of this bird will make you thirsty. And water is much better than soda at extinguishing the fire in your mouth.
Pros: Very unique and tasty chicken
Cons: Service, location, long wait
