Hot Sauce and Panko, S.F.: Chicken wings, heat and more
With a dozen varieties of the handheld chicken pieces at any given time, not to mention a couple of seriously decadent sandwiches, this place is worth a visit. Order a small batch ($6.49 for at least eight wings) or a large ($9.49 for at least a dozen), with choices that include Chris' honey salty crispy pepper wings; lime with garlic, roasted chiles and caramelized fish sauce; or kumquat chile. The few tables are pocked and scratched, with chairs that don't match; empty jam jars for water are piled up by a cooler; and a big jug of sticky syrup sits at the ready for those who want a sweet addition to waffles.
