Bred Hot Chicken

Bred Hot Chicken serves Nashville-style hot chicken, with crispy tenders, big sandwiches, and chicken and waffles. Its best-known items include the Juicy Chicken Tenders, the Big O' Sandwich, Loaded Fries, and the Nashville Hot Chicken Caesar Salad, with heat levels ranging from mild to hot. The menu also includes halal-certified chicken, which the business says comes from certified suppliers and is cooked in a kitchen with no cross-contamination.

The Costa Mesa location on Bristol Street has spacious outdoor seating with big screens for watching games, and it offers takeout, delivery, and catering. Orders can be placed online or through the app, and the business runs a rewards program for online orders. A second location is in the Red Barn at Paseo Adelanto in San Juan Capistrano.
