I've noticed that too. Every fast food place around me now has some form of spicy hot or Nashville hot chicken.
Jack in Box- Spicy Cluck
McDonald's - spicy mc Chicken
KFC - Nashville tenders
Hardee's/Carl's Jr - Hot Thot chicken
Wendy's - Spicy Honey chicken
The biggest red flag for me is McDonald's. They never have spicy food and never go in on trends. Yet this time it's different.
One thing for sure is that these restaurants didn't all coincidentally decide to do sweet/spicy chicken at the same time.
Oh wow. That's very ... .....coincidental?? I think not
Youtube clips marketed towards kids are all about doing hot and spicy food challenges
Pretty sure it’s the marketplace responding to Chick-fil-A and the popularity of their spicy chicken sandwiches. Not only that but in recent years spicy chicken wings have become a major fast food industry.
This. Also US is more ethnic than ever. Lots of immigrants who love spicy food.
