18. Chix Hot Chickenchix hot chicken singapore

Behold - Singapore’s First Nashville Hot Chicken Concept, better known as Chix Hot Chicken. If you're a fried chicken lover, you NEED to visit this restaurant! They serve chicken in various sizes - Quarter ($10.90), Half ($20.90), Wings ($10.90) and Tenders ($10.90), and all their chicken is served with bread and pickles. You can also upgrade your meal to a combo and enjoy sides like Creamy Tangy Coleslaw ($2.90)Cheese Fries ($4.90), and Mac & Cheese ($5.90).

Not only that, but they also offer four spicy levels for their chicken in this ascending order: Mild, Medium, Hot and Insane Hotness. But get this - their tactic to making their chicken spicier is using two of the world's hottest chili peppers, namely Ghost Peppers and the Carolina Reaper. The Carolina Reaper itself peaks at 2.2 Million Scoville heat units, which is approximately 200 times the spiciness of a Jalapeno pepper!

So if you can take the heat, we'd highly recommend that you challenge yourself by giving the Insane Hotness level a try. On the other hand, if you cannot handle spicy food, don't worry because you can request to have non-spicy chicken as well.

 

Address: 1 Jln Pisang, #01-01, Singapore 199069

Nearest prayer place:
Sultan Mosque

Business hours:12pm - 9 pm (Mon to Sat)
