I had the chance to try Carnal Sanchez at the 101 Night Market on Balboa and Sherman Way, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the nuggets and fries, and both were absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy and crispy at the same time--cooked perfectly.
We also tried Jose's house-made habanero honey, and it was incredible. The sweet heat paired perfectly with the chicken. My 11-year-old son decided to be brave and try some of the habanero honey himself. It definitely brought the heat, and he looked like he was fighting for his life for a minute, but he handled it like a champ!
Jose was a super friendly and welcoming guy, which made the experience even better. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area! read more
