Great fried chicken! Worth a try and I will definitely return. Very crispy chicken exterior and moist in on the inside. Didn’t get the sauce simply enjoy the mild flavor of coater. Will pick up the heat for my next visit.
Great job preparing the food.

Ricky’s Hot Chicken is a solid alternative to Dave’s Nashville, and I actually like it better. They’ve got good mac & cheese, good fries, good chicken–really, they’ve got good everything. And the fact that it’s Halal? That’s a big win for me.
I prefer the Plano location over any other; it has way more seating and just feels more accommodating overall. But I have to say, the original location has some real drawbacks. The hours are ridiculous–you never know when they’ll be open. Sometimes they’re closed when they should be open, which makes it hard to plan when to eat there. Plus, the staff can be a bit moody, which doesn’t help the experience.
Overall, it’s a decent chicken spot, but the weird hours and service issues bring it down a bit.

5 stars for the Birds Nest. chicken strips were delicious, staff is extremely friendly and gave great recommendations. Very busy little place but worth the wait. I usually love a small hole in the wall but for the amount of people waiting on orders and waiting to order, it was chaos. Seating is extremely limited but sharing tables with strangers is such a good experience. Heat levels on chicken are great, fries are crispy, special sauce is so good and combining all that with coleslaw??? PERFECTION. I can not wait to go back!

First time tries at Ricky’s. Best fried chicken wings in Texas for sure. The staff is very kind and service is super quick. We have 35 people who ordered before us and not a single person mind to wait for 20 minutes. Place was super crowded so there’s not a place to sit down to eat. Loved this place. The chicken is so good, and the fries are super crispy with perfection.

If you like spicy chicken, this place is for you. Great place to grab and go, and it’s a fast service. Limited seating, maybe 10 seats total. Staff are efficient and friendly.
Love the comeback sauce.

Ricky’s Hot Chicken never disappoints! I had their fried chicken sandwich and it was absolutely incredible — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with bold southern flavor. The spice level was just right and had me hooked. I loved it so much, I ended up ordering a second one!
My friend and I drove all the way from Austin to Dallas just to eat here again after a long time — that’s how much we missed it. Totally worth the drive.
I’ve added photos of the menu and my order — if you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. Ricky’s, please open a location in Austin!

I was shopping in the area and I decided to give Ricky’s a go on a whim.
First impressions were positive, a large line at 4 P.M., a team freshly frying chicken, and a great buzz in the air. Ricky was at the register and helped me decide my order (3 tenders, hot spiciness).
There’s not a lot of seating inside, so it’s an intimate fit in there, but I managed to get a chair over by the trash can.
Once I got the tenders, they were a letdown. The breading was falling off in some parts, the chicken was dry and wasn’t particularly hot. Upon telling the staff this and seeing if I could get something else, they immediately got me a fresh order of dark meat and it was a night and day difference.
The chicken quarter was fresh out of the fryer and steaming once I bit into it. There was plenty of juice and the chicken skin had a phenomenal crunch to it. Overall, the redo was delicious with great flavor and spice. The fries were also really solid, as they had a great texture and the seasoning mix from the chicken. The spiciness level was just right, as hot is about the level of a habanero, so I’d recommend getting some ranch or comeback sauce to cool down your mouth if you need it.
The level of service provided by the staff turned an otherwise disappointing visit into a positive memorable experience. I’m hoping that the tenders were a fluke, as I’d like to give them another shot again, but the chicken quarter is simply divine. Definitely worth the hype if you’re in the area.

Heard about this from a family member and tried it out today for the first time.
Ordered a 12-count chicken nugget w/ side of Mac and cheese & extra sauce. The chicken nuggets were tender meat and the breading wasn’t too hard and not too salty which made it taste AMAZING. Not a fan of the Mac and cheese . Overall, portions were adequate for the price I paid. Service is 10/10 – efficient & nice.
Will definitely come back 🙂

I recently decided to give this restaurant a chance, and I didn’t regret it. I tried the two options, low spicy and spicy, and I liked them both. As someone who cares about hygiene, it would be nice if they were a little more attentive to cleanliness. Overall, the food tasted good, the staff was polite and I was satisfied.

It’s the best hot chicken place in DFW no contest.
I love spicy food however this place is another level. Highly recommend asking to test the spice level before ordering because it gets ridiculously hot.
Don’t forget the comeback sauce.
