This Nashville hot chicken chain from the UK is run by a group of YouTubers whose content isn't focused on food, yet it commanded some pretty long lines when it first opened in Singapore. They have a few outlets now, so I had a chance to try it today when one of them had plenty of seating available.
What surprised me was that the chicken wings were not coated in a sauce, but with a dry rub powder surrounding a crispy Shake 'N Bake-like layer. My "hot" level 3 of 4 was fine in terms of heat, but it was also sweet and MSG-ish, not unlike what you'd get in a bag of processed chips.
Still, I liked the pickle slices, and the chicken was piping hot and moist inside. In that sense, I kinda liked it better than the other chains, and I wouldn't mind trying their burger if I somehow ended up here again. But that sweet MSG powder would also keep me from being a regular.
