in LA, you gotta hit up Howlin Rays. Its by far the most notorious fried chicken spot in the city, although their wings are battered and are whole wings (not split into drums/flats). This is some of the best chicken you will every have though, absolutely incredible. it gets busy during lunch/dinner, so if you want to wait the least amount of time, go at 2-3pm on a weekday

I have not watched a hot ones show in a few years. Even if he did Hot Ones it should line up the day or the day after he drops the last episode. Hot One from what I understand orders their wings naked from down the street and they are normally cold before they start.
