If you are craving for hot & spicy fried chicken, Firebird Wanaka is the place to go!
I had their 2 Piece Hotbox Set ($18), which includes two good size pieces of boneless Firebird fried chicken, refreshing slaw and fries. You can choose between salt fries, smoky fries, spicy fries, or no fires with extra slaw. I would recommend the smoky or spicy fries because that’s their specialty flavors.
For the fired chicken, you can choose your spice level from ‘Smoky’ (level 1, not spicy, just the flavor) to ‘Stupid Hot’ (level 6). I opted for ‘Proper Hot’ (level 5) and as a spicy food lover, I love it! It was rather spicy but not overwhelming for me. I also love that the flavors are not plain spicy, but a fusion and explosion of different spices and fragrance.
In the box there was also a mini cup of Firebird Hot Sauce, which was 70% chili oil but still pretty good.
