The heat here is built in layers rather than dumped on at the end. The chicken is marinated before it is battered, so the seasoning is inside the meat as well as on the crust. After frying it goes straight into the pepper sauce while it is still hot, which lets the sauce soak into the coating instead of sliding off it.
It comes with fries and a dipping sauce, which are not an afterthought — you will want something starchy alongside. Guests who want the flavour without the full heat can ask us to go lighter on the sauce.
How We Build the Heat-Wave
Chicken is marinated, battered and fried to order, then tossed in pepper sauce and built into the bun immediately so the crust is still crisp when it reaches you. If you are ordering for delivery, the sauce and fries are packed to keep the bun from going soft on the way.
