Arlington Fried Chicken Sandwich Named Best In DC Area: Report

ARLINGTON, VA — Got a hankering for a fried chicken sandwich? Forget Popeyes -- go for Hot Lola's's version in Arlington, says a new report.

Washingtonian says Hot Lola's hot-chicken sandwich are the best in the D.C. area, tied with Wooboi in Herndon for the No. 1 spot in their list of the top five in our region.

Hot Lola's, located at 4238 Wilson Blvd., is dedicated to hot-chicken sandwiches and is the brainchild of Kevin Tien, who runs D.C.'s Himitsu.

"His menu features just a few things—fried-chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, Kewpie-mayo slaw, and curly fries," the Washingtonian's profile on the restaurant reads. "The standout offering is the Szechuan-meets-Nashville sando, layered with an ultra-crunchy, chili-oil-painted breast, plus cooling slaw and creamy comeback sauce on a sesame bun. Among the five heat levels, we go for the pleasantly searing OG hot and the tingly and numbing dry hot."
