Let me start off by saying – ?????! (And drinking a tall glass of water)
It’s taken us quite awhile to get here but we’re finally at Chix Hot Chicken! There was plenty of fanfare when it opened of course. This makan spot is the brainchild of our very own OG Singapore Idol, Taufik Batisah, and his best friend, Ismail.
They did plenty of research and the end result is a Nashville-style fried chicken that’s designed to do 2 things – burn your mouth off AND make you keep wanting more 😛
You can enjoy the searing heat in a number of ways. Fried chicken parts, chicken burger, chicken wings (which I regret not trying) and chicken tenders. You get to choose your level of spiciness of course – ranging from Mild, Medium Hotness, Extra Hotness and all the way up to Insane Hotness.
There are also a number of sides to choose from but the main attraction is obviously the chicken.
So what makes this chicken HOT? It’s all thanks to the dry rub which includes the (in)famous Ghost Pepper. We’re talking about a mouth-numbing pepper here that’s 2nd only to the Carolina Reaper when it comes to heat. But trust us – this one’s gonna make you sweat!
The chicken is lovingly prepped and marinated before getting that #DeepFriedGoodness treatment. And then, it’s doused in that dry rub and you can just see that aura of heat emanating from the fried chicken.
Being heroes, we decided to go straight to the top level – Insane Hotness. And we found out why they call it Insane. WAH PIANG EH DAMN HOT SIA! It starts off as a slow burn and before long, your mouth feels like a furnace, sweat is dripping from your face and begin to question your decision ?
PRO TIP: Don’t rub your eyes while eating (and even for awhile after washing your hands).
Something that you will see often on the Chix Hot Chicken IG feed is what they call Soul Sliders. And for good reason too. These are pretty damn good chicken burgers! You also get to choose the heat level here – we went with the Extra Hotness (which was still pretty hot ah).
Boneless and battered chicken patty with some slaw, pickles and sauce (they call it Pink Mayo but like macam Orange Mayo liao) all between buns. And they may call it a slider but looking at the size, I’d say these are much bigger than sliders lah.
The chicken patty really reminds me of like thos Taiwanese Chicken Cutlets. Albeit a bit thicker ah. But that extra crisp batter is very welcome along with that tender and juicy chicken. A VERY satisfying bite indeed 😀
PS they have Chicken & Waffles too but only on Saturdays!
There are a few Side Dishes and beverages to choose from (some hopefully to help with the heat). They’ve got Fries, Cheese Fries and Mac & Cheese. We went with the Creamy Tangy Coleslaw. It’s definitely tangy and reminded us a lot of kinda like a Raita to be honest.
They’ve got soft drinks, floats and milkshakes on the menu to wash down your hot chicken. I went with the Milkshake with the trusted belief that something creamy would help when the hot chicken kicked in. It helped but it did run out rather quickly lah 😛 And then we found out that the soft drinks were refillable.
PRO TIP: Order 1x Milkshake and 1x soft drink so that when your Milkshake runs out, you got back up LOL
All in all, we’d say that Chix Hot Chicken lives up to its name. It’s definitely serving up the real deal! The menu may not be big but it’s serving up some good stuff for sure. So drop by and test your mettle – can you handle the Insane Hotness? There’s only one way to find out.
*cue Taufik’s song*
