World Famous Hotboys is known for Oakland's original spicy hot fried chicken, acclaimed as the best Fried Chicken Sandwich in California. Their menu includes a variety of options made using 100% halal chicken, peanut oil, wheat, and soy products. From the must-have Swamp Fries to the nostalgic Bonuts, customers can choose their preferred spice level ranging from Southern to HOT.

Starting as a backyard popup in 2017, World Famous Hotboys now have multiple locations across the Bay Area, including Oakland, Walnut Creek, Sacramento, and Hayward. The menu has expanded to offer delights like Pimento Mac and Cheese and Chicken Etouffee, all served with their signature heat levels. The establishment invites patrons to take on the secret HOT HOT challenge if they dare!
