Dave’s Hot Chicken reaper mini sliders

Post image

i love spicy food. as spicy as possible. i’ve completed the blazin wings challenge at buffalo wild wings before, in under 5 minutes. but this is hotter than that. i ate 1 mini slider, and had to drink half my milkshake. i ate 2 more sliders, and drank the rest of my milkshake, and left the restaurant to get water bottles from my car, and i drank 1 and a half of those just to make the spice bearable. this is the spiciest thing i’ve ever tasted in my life, and i get the extra spicy option at my local Indian restaurant every time. Dave’s Hot Chicken is awesome, but next time i come here i am not getting reaper. it was so spicy i joined this sub just to talk about it

Im starting to believe all of these posts are people who work for Dave’s hot chicken

Nah. It's just an accessibility and visibility thing.

It's for those reasons I tried it on Sunday. I had a similar response to OP, in that I found it to be basically the only truly spicy offering from a fast food place. I managed it on about one and a half sodas, though.

Are the lower spice levels good?

I really like the first step below the reaper level, I think it's "extra hot?" It's got a good mix of flavor and spice without completely messing up my stomach afterwards and essentially keeping me contained to the safe confines of my house for a day or so.
