You know Colonel Sanders. Now, meet Carnal Sanchez, a spicy fried chicken stand with housemade chile honeys and thinly-sliced cottage fries, popping up tonight and every Friday at Hollywood’s 101 Night Market.

The business sells beef tallow-fried, bone-in drumsticks, whole wings, tenders, chicken sandwiches, nuggets, sliders, and nugget-topped fries, which they call “Southern Poutine.”
