Dave's Hot Chicken

I guess technically this is still part of the road trip, since I was in ABQ on my home. 

I was actually craving Chinese food and stopped in to two places I have never been. 

Both looked good when I was looking at images on Google but complete crap in person. 

I was going to say "Screw it" and just go to Krispy Kreme and Del Taco - since I like the former and love the latter - but then remembered: Dave's Hot Chicken opened in December just a couple-hundred yards south of Krispy Kreme. 

I ordered the "two sliders combo," and a chicken tender. 

I didn't realize the "sliders" would be the size of an actual sandwich. I ate one and the fries and was full. 

It was delicious. 

I opted for the "hot" chicken. It was spicy, but not terribly so. 

There are two heat levels about this: extra-hot and reaper, the latter of which requires signing a waiver. 

I could probably handle the extra-hot, but not sure how much I would enjoy it. 

I definitely could not handle the reaper. 

I heated the leftovers in the air fryer for dinner. Just as good. 

BTW, every fried chicken place these days has their own mayo-based dipping sauce and most taste the same. (They are all a ripoff of Raising Cane's.) 

But this one might be the best I have had.
