Willie's Hot Chicken
About
When in Hawaii (Big Island), Willie's Hot Chicken is the local business to know, a restaurant at 74-5599 Pawai Pl Ste#1&2, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740, United States, on the leeward Kona side of the island. It trades as a restaurant in Kailua-Kona, a town on the dry western coast where sunny days are the norm. Diners have pushed its score to 4.4 out of 5 across 947 reviews, a volume that signals a steady local following. The website http://www.willieshotchicken.com/ carries the restaurant's identity, and five photos sit on its listing.
Kailua-Kona anchors the venue on the leeward coast, and the town sits within easy reach of the island's main resorts and towns, including Hilo, Volcano, Waimea, Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona. That spread of nearby places means a drive from the Kohala Coast resorts or a stop on the way through Kona fits naturally into a day of exploring the island. A restaurant with 947 reviews and a 4.4 rating is the sort of place travellers and residents alike build into their plans.
Kailua-Kona's leeward position keeps the area drier and sunnier through the year, while the wetter season generally runs November to March. Hawaiian cooking leans on fresh seafood, poke, plate lunches and tropical fruit, and a restaurant on this coast slots into that eating landscape. English and Hawaiian are the main languages, so ordering and chatting are straightforward for most visitors.
Direct flights from the US mainland bring travellers to the island, and inter-island flights and ferries connect the main islands for onward trips. Willie's Hot Chicken sits in Kailua-Kona, a practical base for anyone moving between the island's resorts, the volcano country inland and the northern towns.
