Handheld Spice from Hot Cluckers

The Hot Tacos from Hot Cluckers (1450 E. Sunshine St., Springfield) are what you get if you combine three of the most gut-busting comfort foods into one meal.

It’s a taco. It’s fried chicken. And it’s a spice bomb. These tasty tacos come filled with super-spicy chicken, fried pickles for both tang and crunch, ranch dressing to cool everything down and salad greens for a little burst of something fresh. It’s the kind of lunch that requires a nap afterward, but it’s so worth every salty, spicy, flavorful bite.
