Which ones? The buffalo wings?

No, the spicy nuggets. The wings might be spicy with buffalo sauce, but I wouldn't know. The spicy nuggets are like tiny spicy chicken patties, and that's the spiciest chicken I've ever had.

the spicy chicken sandwich is good too. really spicy for fast food anyway.

I'm pretty sure the nuggets are made the same way as the spicy patty, they look the same just different size. They are only rarely in stores though it seems.

I can't think of anything without sauce that is hotter, got a suggestion?

The regular 99c chicken sandwhich from Carl's Jr. is spicier than those. I really like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's cus it tastes good but it's definitely not spicy at all. You'll have to add sauce to stuff if you want really spicy.

Awesome you mention this, I haven't had one in ages. So I just ran and got 2 with cheese and a large fry, $4.99's a perfect total when I only had a five in my pocket :D

OP confirmed. I tried the wings last night and there was no spicy burning sensation AT ALL, wtf. I can't believe they advertised these as hot. I'm completely baffled because their 'crispy chicken' is pretty damn hot, i don't even know why they don't use the same damned spices in that chicken as the hot wings.

HOWEVER, they do still taste good. The advertising is ridiculous though.

most people are pussies and restaraunts.fast food joints tend to compensate for this by downgrading the space.

then again, if you're looking for fried chicken at KFC, you're already failing.

I live in connecticut, we literally have no fried chicken except KFC. Actually i think there's a Popeyes, but like 50 miles away from me.

The 2 mom and pop places that server fried chicken are even worse.

Oil to 425, but 375 will work too.
Wings Frozen, but can be thawed.

12-14 minutes. Longer time = more crispiness.
Frank's Red Hot mixed w/ melted butter. More butter = less heat.
Toss and serve.

That is how you make Buffalo Wings. Everything else is a lie.

You want people dropping frozen food into 400 degree oil? That's not any advice I'd follow.

Most fried food is done so from a frozen state, especially commercially, but also at home. Just don't be a yahoo and a)drop it in from a height of six feet or b) leave your hand next to the grease after dropping the item in the fryer.
