One Red Hot Chicken

 

This giant red chicken showed up on Camelback Road recently.  It sits in front of a new restaurant called Houston TX Hot Chicken.  This is about the third or fourth 'hot chicken' restaurant I've seen open up in the Phoenix area.  

I asked Google why and it gave me a simple answer.  Chicken is inexpensive and American taste for spicy food has spiked.

I used to like spicy food myself but over the past several years my tolerance for the 'heat' has waned.  So, I haven't tested any of these new places.

Has this new "hot chicken" fad developed in your area?

    No - or very little - hot chicken here in the DC area.

    No locations open in Canada, and there is only one restaurant in Charlotte. I checked.
    She really stands out. Show off !!!

    Hmmmm...that sounds like a Google AI explanation for what would otherwise simply be called a trend! I like the big red chicken, though!

    I haven't seen any of those places here but spicy food seems to be everywhere these days. I can't handle it much anymore either, Sharon.

    A couple of hot chicken restaurants have opened here. I haven't been to either.
