Omg guys, I absolutely fell in love with their Mac & Cheese Chicken Bowl! I was honestly surprised because it's the first time I've seen something like this at a hot chicken spot, and it did not disappoint. The mac and cheese was creamy, the chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. One thing I really loved is that you can choose your own spice level, so whether you like it mild or you're all about the heat, there's something for everyone. I also tried their chicken sandwich and chicken fries, and both were so good! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. Service was nice! read more

Another fried chicken place with good flavors to add to your list. Decent portion sizes and you can choose between any of their popular flavors or spice level. And highly recommend the two thigh meal if you're interested in a very juicy crispy chicken What I also tried: -Jumbo Sandwich combo $17.5 with coleslaw, Mac side - mild: this was definitely a classic choice because you get two thick chicken tenders placed in between some soft burger bread. That was one of those American comfort food that honestly can't really go wrong. -Legend wings garlic soy 6pc $11: this was good and reminded me of a Korean fried chicken twist. Liked the Asian inspired flavor. -Drumsticks lemon pepper 5 pc $15: these were huge. Did not disappoint. I really liked the lemon pepper dry rub. The crispy breading was honestly perfection. -Fried okra $6: I was surprised that they actually had this on the menu this paired well with the side sauce Definitely better than your fried chicken that you would get at any fast food restaurant. read more

If you're a hot chicken lover, this is your sign to try Legend Hot Chicken in Hacienda Heights We went all in and honestly... no regrets. The jumbo sando was everything you want in a hot chicken sandwich, so crispy, juicy, flavorful, and actually packed in every bite. The loaded tender fries with mac & cheese were next level comfort food: creamy, cheesy, crunchy, and so satisfying you can't stop going back for more. The tteokbokki had such a tun spicy kick, the cheese curds were golden and addicting, and the waffles tied everything together with that pertect sweet finish What stood out most is that everything tastes intentional; not just spicy for hype, but well-seasoned, fresh, and made with real care. You can really feel the passion behind the brand and why it's become such a local favorite in the SGV. read more

Love the interior of this place. Upon walking in, it is nice and bright. The staff was super friendly and the girl in front was very helpful. I had a few items including their waffle, chicken sandwiches, and tteokbokki. The way they fry their chicken is so good. The skin is super crispy yet the chicken inside is still juicy. Also, this might be one of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. The waffles are crispy on the center and soo fluffy on the inside. They also give you whip cream and butter with it. It was delicious. If this was a breakfast spot, I would go back to order the waffles every day. I also like how much toppings are in their tteokbokki. The flavor was really good and wasn't too overly spicy which I enjoy. The chicken sandwich was a little hard to eat because it is HUGE but nonetheless, it was great. The chicken wasn't dry even though they were tenders. Overall, I really liked my meal there and found it really delicious. read more

If you get one thing and one thing only from here -- let it be the 5 piece chicken thigh w/ honeybee sauce !!!! My mind has been blown from that single entree. On top of that, I also got the most flavorful chicken sandwich despite getting the heat in mild and amazingggg loaded fries (spice level medium). Service was friendly and the ambiance is fantastic as well!! Very clean and love the amount of open space they have in their restaurant. I will be back! read more

Went back for the waffle (and some chicken sandos too) and it's a REALLY good waffle!!! The batter isn't heavy and obviously made fresh to order which are the most important elements. What really impressed me was that they give you fresh whipped cream and fresh whipped butter as well as syrup. Any combination of the three were delicious. If you like waffles, you need to try the waffles here. read more

Went here for the first time recently and it did not disappoint. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and the seasoning had a really good flavor to it. Sometimes places focus too much on heat, but this one actually tasted good while still bringing the spice. Service was friendly and everything came out faster than expected. The whole place has a casual vibe and it felt like a good spot to grab something quick but still really satisfying. Definitely one of those places you go back to when you're craving hot chicken. read more

This place was fire! Service is great & they are really generous with their portions! The Super Loaded tender fries actually come super loaded and they could feed two people! Their mac and cheese pairs perfectly with their chicken in either the fries or in a burrito. I cant decide which I like more. I tried spicy rice cake for the first time and I loved it. Soft chewy texture with a nice kick & an egg the wings were solid but the buffalo sauce wasnt my favorite , they came sauced up though which I appreciate it. Finding parking was no problem & there was a good amount of tables/room inside. Definitely recommend trying this spot out, i'll forsure be back. read more

I tried Legends for the first time this week. I'm mainly a chicken tenders person, and these did not disappoint. First, the size of the tenders are quite large--not just the breaded part but the actual meat. I chose the original flavor. For those who are hesitant to choose original versus the hotter tenders, you will not compromise on flavor. These tenders are juicy, flavorful, and somehow not nearly as greasy as other establishments. They give you ranch, honey, a sauce similar to raising canes, and ketchup. It was so good, I went twice this week. I did take out, but the restaurant itself is small but super cute and clean. Pricing is also fair for the portions. 100% recommend Legends in HH! read more

the second location my bf and i have tried and we like this one much more! we ordered 5 whole tenders, 2 burgers combo, and some with mac and cheese and fries -- the fries alone are very addicting! like this extra coat of crispiness read more

The hygiene there is absolute garbage--I ended up with terrible diarrhea right after eating. Honestly, those positive reviews have got to be fake. Save yourself the trouble and stay far away!My order was scheduled to be ready at 1:00 PM. I showed up on time, only to be forced to wait for another full hour. I finally got my chicken at 2:00 PM. Does it really take an hour to fulfill a scheduled order? This defeats the whole purpose of ordering ahead. Super frustrated with their poor management and lack of communication. read more

We were instantly warmly greeted by the cashier and he also gave us some good recommendations. The restaurant is pretty big and has a fun vibe to it. If you are a hot chicken girly like I am, you need to try this place!! The spice level is on point. We got medium spice and it was SPIII-CYYY! They also offer different flavors of crispy chicken wings! It's a fun place to bring kids. There's a couple of arcade games and also a timer game you can play to get your next meal FREE!! All the combo meals are ALOT of food, so come hungry! There's also a cafe coming soon inside the restaurant, so they gave us a sample of their thai tea to try. It was so good and flavorful! Overall it was a 10/10!! read more

Legends Hot Chick - Yelp Find Worth the Hype Found this spot scrolling through Yelp and already felt like a winner when I checked in and got 25% off my first order. Off to a strong start. I ordered two 12-piece wings -- one original and one soy garlic -- plus waffle fries and jalapeño poppers. Pulled up to the spot and the vibe was super chill. Got greeted right away and the service was on point. I was told the food would be out in a couple minutes, so I kicked back and did what we all do... scrolled social media A worker came over and apologized because the order was taking a bit longer since they were changing the oil (honestly, green flag). No complaints here -- fresh oil means better food. Appreciate the communication. When the food was ready, the worker helped me out, gave me a heads-up about an upcoming Super Bowl special, and sent me off with good energy. Got home, opened everything up, and my GF and I went IN. The original wings were the star -- crazy crunch, perfect size, juicy meat. Exactly how wings should be. The soy garlic was decent, but I was expecting a little more punch flavor-wise. Still solid though. The waffle fries and jalapeño poppers? Perfect. No notes. And then the surprise: a free waffle with whipped cream, butter, and syrup ‍ That alone deserves respect. That's the kind of low-key, thoughtful service that makes you wanna come back. Overall: great food, friendly service, unexpected extras, and solid vibes. Highly recommend Legends Hot Chick -- definitely pulling up again. read more

Legend Hot Chicken - The wall - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

i've heard great things about this place. Overall was very disappointed. I ordered the 6pcs mango habanero. It was very sweet rather than spicy which is what I was expecting. Garlic soy was the other flavor we tried, also very sweet not much flavor. The combos come with your choice of mac & cheese, fries or coleslaw we were never offered that option. It also came with a drink. Majority of the drinks from their fountain machine were watered down. read more

Was craving some fried chicken sandwich, I saw good reviews of this place so I drive a bit for this place and so happy I did. The lady at the counter was super friendly, I got the mild spicy Jumbo Sando with coleslaw just by itself. They fry the chicken per order, which is great I waited about 10 minutes it was not bad since I noticed there were quite a bit of phone orders ahead of me for pick up, its a good idea next time to order ahead especially if it's a larger order. The lady at the counter gave me a bit of fries to try with the sandwich which is so nice of her, and wow she was not wrong their fries are super good, crispy and is slightly seasoned definitely will get some next time. Now let's talk about the sando ! It is two pretty thick pieces of tender fried to perfection so crispy , the mild is just a little bit of spice (next time I am gonna go for medium) although it is not super super juicy but when you bite into it with the coleslaw and the pickles and the sauce they put in it, it is just perfect, so glad I took a detour at chick fil A's drive thru and decided to drive further to Legend ! If you ever tried Howling Wolf in Pasadena this is very similar but minus the line the wait and the drive if you don't live near Pasadena I was told they also do Korean style chicken which I will definitely try next time ! Definitely recommend this place if you want a good chicken Sando and fries ! read more

Legend Hot Chicken - #2. SANDWICH + 1PC TENDER COMBO w/ Mac & Cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

This place was more popular back when I first found it by picking up food at the Monterey Park location or Montebello next to the 60 freeway. Since Upside does not advertise this place anymore; the popularity has gone down a bit. The food is good you can choose to have a sweet with a bit of spice or heat in flavor unlike Dave's Hot Chicken which is too spicy and salty. I am not a fan of Dave's Hot Chicken. I think Dave's is just too overpriced. Legend Hot Chicken is better quality and well priced and better portions of chicken meats. read more

Craving some fried chicken and came to this place. Right when we came in, we were welcomed by the guy. It was an interesting place because one side is fried chicken and the other is some Korean food but they share the space. I'm surprised there wasn't more people because the chicken here is huge and juicy. The amount of food they give is plenty for the price. AND the toast was delicious! This place is closer to us than other chicken places so I think we found our new spot! I'm not crazy on spicy food so will need to take someone who can eat spicy but the original was well seasoned. Will be recommending to a friend. read more

First of all, I want to say that the food is very tasty and delicious. I had the jumbo Sando combo. Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome. The only reason for the four stars instead of five is it is a bit pricey so I may not be able to come as often as I want to because this place is that good. I just wish the pricing wasn't as high as it was but overall great food and I would still recommend the place. read more

I'm soo happy Legends improved tremendously from the first time I tried them! I need me a good local chicken tendie spot and I think they're it! Around the end of October, I had the sandwich + 1 tender combo, medium spice with mac & cheese delivered to work. FLAVURRRRR! (word shoutout to hungry4munchies) The tender was a lot more well seasoned this time around and just as moist and juicy as before. If you do not eat spicy food regularly, do not order medium as it is verrrry spicy. I'm glad I did not try hot because medium is the perfect *at-work* level spice for me. This experience restored my faith in Legends :D Fast forward to end of Nov, I had Legends delivered to me at home for dinner. I ordered- Waffle + 2 Tenders: for the tenders, I opted for mild and lemon pepper. The mild was good, just as expected. The lemon pepper tho was lacking. The seasoning tastes good but there was soooo little on the tender. Upon opening the box, I could barely tell which tender was which based on appearance. I'll order the lemon pepper with their wings next time. The waffle was bigger than expected! I was getting hangry by the time I got my food so I did not bother putting it back in the toaster. It was so good and fluffy even if it was a little soggy. Loaded Tender Fries: since I got mild for the waffle tendie, I opted to go HOT for the frie tendies but alas, they still gave me mild :( The tenders and fries were pretty soft but the sliced pickles was the refreshing crunch this combo was missing. It's an interesting mix that works well together. I will order the loaded tender mac & cheese next time! read more

I went here for their IG special wings deal. I tried hot crispy, garlic soy, garlic parm, and lemon pepper wings. My fave was the hot crispy which was mild spicy that I can tolerate and the least fave was lemon pepper as it had a weak flavor profile not enough seasoning. I love their tteokbokki though. Big rice cakes and there's egg! Delicious!! read more
