Food was just okay. I expected the habanero sauce ("Afterburner," I believe) to be slightly spicy, but it was genuinely less spicy than Frank's Red Hot. That is not an exaggeration.I tried to get the next sauce up as a side, and I got some kind of mayonnaise sauce (most likely the "Good Sauce"?) instead, so I can't speak to the spiciness of anything else.I got the chicken sandwich, and all I could really taste was the sweetness of the habanero sauce. Apparently there was coleslaw and pickles on it; I guess that explains why it was crunchy. Otherwise...I don't know what expectations I should have, but the chicken and fries are clearly frozen and then heated up. I know that's probably normal for fried chicken, but I was kind of holding out for the fries.At least the person I interacted with at the front desk for five seconds was nice. Highlight of the place.Parking: It's a strip mall. There's no shortage of parking available.

The chicken sandwiches are great but the wings are the best. We have gone for dinner there every week since we first tried it.
Food was delicious and have never had issues! We came tonight (3/8) to do pick up. I walked in to get the order and didn’t wait long. The bag was heavy and needed two hands and unfortunately I couldn’t put anyway weight on my left arm due to a recent shoulder surgery. The guy who helped (didn’t get his name, dark hair and glasses) could tell right away. I said I’d get my husband and he said no, he’d walk it out to my car. So he helped me by carrying my heavy HEAVY bag. He was so nice! Thankful for kind people like him! He didn’t even hesitate when I said I couldn’t Carry it!

After seeing so many great reviews, I decided to grab lunch here today. Since I'm more of a dry rub than a sauce person, I got the sandwich plain. I don't know if I got a bad sandwich, but I've never had a saltier tasting chicken sandwich in my life. It was a struggle to finish it, and I only did so because of how expensive it was. Maybe it's better with a sauce masking the saltiness of the breading, who knows. On a brighter note, they give you a lot of fries, and I really enjoyed those. Very hot and crispy, with a good seasoning. The staff was friendly, and service was quick as well.

This is the best chicken place in Stafford of all the ones we've tried. The sauce is nice and buttery, hot and with a sweet taste but not overwhelming. The restaurant is clean and bright. They have outlets and USB slots at every booth. My only complaint is the portion size for the price, fried pickles were mediocre, and the staff was less than enthusiastic. But overall a great place.

Everything was delicious and fresh. The chicken sandwich was probably the best I've had!The service was fine. Not over the top but acceptable.They were out of soda cups, so we were given a coffee style cup for our drinks.

My family went to try HCK Hot Chicken at the recommendation of some friends and it was so much better than expected. The chicken tasted fresh and the seasoning and sauces were AMAZING! I promise you that it isn’t “just another chicken place!” Try the wings: they are HUGE and the flavor is delicious.
HCK Hot Chicken took over the Sweeto Burrito location and really didn't change a thing except the menu and sign. Service was good.The Chicken is tasty and the wings were huge! My problem (and it really is more a preference thing) is that the choice of prep options are limited. Get them uncoated or in different degrees of hot. No flavor options from what I could tell.So, if you like large hot wings...go for it. If you are hankering for some flavor, take five minutes and go down the road to Stafford Wings.
Legitimately the BEST spot in Stafford. The chicken sandwiches are PHENOMENAL, the staff is always so sweet, & the atmosphere is super pleasant. This is our new regular spot!

We loved the chicken sandwich with fries in the good sauce ( mouth watering) and my kids loved the Mac and cheese and donut balls! I like mine mild and it worked perfect for me. I’m so glad we stopped in because it’s a pretty restaurant with nice and helpful staff.

It was my first time trying HCK hot chicken last weekend as I was craving something spicy and good chicken. I found this place via Yelp search. Upon entering the store, a very sweet lady at the counter greeted me and helped me picked out habanero chicken tenders as I'm looking for something low carb as possible option. I was given 8-10 minutes wait time and food was out as a to go as I requested. I couldn't wait to get home so I tried it in the car, chicken was hot, fresh and yummy. Only thing was that it was sweet to my taste as I was looking something completely spicy. But it was a good sweet and sour kind of taste if you are looking for one not too hot. Portion size were big and since I was in calorie deficit I ended up eating it for three days straight :) As far as ambiance is concerned it was a very kool vibes kind of a restaurant. You can get ample parking in the complex where the restaurant is located. I really think it's a great place to satisfy your yummy chicken cravings. I recommend this place to others.

This place is beautiful inside and the food was delicious! The staff were very friendly. The fries in their sauce that come with it are so good! The chicken sandwich I got mild and it was delicious and perfect for me! My husband ate his quickly! The macaroni and cheese and donut balls my kids loved! We will be back. :)
