    I bought this on $10 for 10 pcs yesterday, the Habanero sauce was very little not evenly spread.

    • +4

      Can confirm. Actually pathetic how little sauce they give, mine had a few drops here and there, with the chicken underneath having practically nothing.

      • I bought last weekend and it was practically swimming in the sauce, heat was a good medium heat but the flavour of sauce was meh and overly sweet.

    • +15

      My store ran out of those hot and crispy pieces and gave me wicked wings instead. They practically drowned those pieces in that sauce. Had me shittin fire by bedtime man.

      • I would prefer wicked wings with habanero.. unlike the chicken finger crap they give you

    • +3

      Mine was split into 2 boxes of 5. The pieces were drizzled on top but had a thick pool of sauce below. More than enough for the chicken and plenty to dip chips into as well.

      • +2

        Same. I was sweating non-stop after 5 pieces.

    • +2

      I preferred though though, then you can dip as much or as little as you want in the puddle at the bottom. Though the bottom ones are soaked. Mouth was on fire after eating all 10.

  • +2

    I had some last night. Spicy!! It has a kinda sweet and then spicy aftertaste. Ain't too bad, could be a tad less spicy.

  • -2

    Bought 10 for $10 yesterday. The sauce is too sweet, I can't really taste the spice.

    • +4

      I wonder if they mix the sauce in store or something… Because I had it a couple of weeks ago and I actually thought it was pretty bloody spicy for a mainstream restaurant like KFC… And I'm not one of those people that thinks a zinger burger is spicy, normally I have a fairly high tolerance.

      • +3

        Zinger burgers are supposed to be spicy?!?!

        I know there's a Spicy / Fiery Zinger depending on markets but the basic one has no spice for me and I'm white 😂

        • Yeah I think it's sorta in the name.

          But yeah, I agree, they aren't hot, however I know people who think they are and can't handle them.

        • Yes, zingers use a hot and spicy fillet

      • Issue with a non Asian KFC advertising anything spicy is the spicy is from the sauce not the batter itself. Piss weak.

    • +3

      Are you Indian or Thai? Or just eat a lot of spice all the time? It was one of the hottest things I've eaten in years.

      • Neither. I only wiped a bit of the sauce because I’m not a fan of the sweetness.

    • +2

      got 10for10, by the last wing, my mouth was on fire.

  • +2

    The sauce is not very nice. See if you can get it without.

  • Can you get it without the sauce? Or on the side? I bet that sauce is gonna give people the runs…

    • +1

      Can confirm…

  • +3

    I miss the Kentucky snack packs so bad

  • Are these like wicked wing chicken pieces with spicy sauce or more like boneless tenders?

    • boneless crispy tenders

    • +1

      Hot and Crispy pieces are thigh strips with Wicked Wing coating. These Habanero ones have a sweet habenero sauce.

  • +12

    This sauce is hot. I think i went to the toilet five times too

  • +14

    Got the 10 for $10 deal yesterday. Splattered the porcelain pretty hard last night multiple times!

    • +6

      Lmao

      For reference which basing do you get at nandos?

      • +1

        Lmao this is a tactical way to ask.

    • Same bro, that sauce was hot af.

  • +2

    I dont know if i got a budget version but this is somewhere between a tender and a nugget in size. Two is not very much and the amount of chips was on par with whats in a go bucket. The only good thing was the sauce has some heat to it and is not for the lemon and herb guy. Finally KFC makes some spicy food again!

    • Wouldn't surprise me if they pick out the smaller pieces for these boxes. Saving the good stuff for the high rollers.

      • I don't think the 12 year old cashiers could care less imo

        The hot and crispy pieces I got were pretty decently sized, bigger than wicked wings and tenders but smaller than regular pieces

        YMMV I guess

  • -1

    had this for lunch but my chips were soggy and rubbish, just ate the chicken

  • Just when I thought I was out…I was out. Too spicy.

  • Is it just wings with pseudo spicy sauce drizzled on top?

    • +2

      It’s just hot crispy with sweet chilli sauce which made the whole thing soggy if not eaten inside 10min. All I can taste is the sweetness not the spicy

      • Good to know, will skip then

  • +1

    I didn’t find the sauce very spicy, too salty if anything, each to their own

  • App is down at my local store…

  • +6

    For once, something is actually spicy from a fastfood restaurant. I actually like it.

  • You people will eat any thing

  • Any chance I can ask for no sauce?

    • -2

      I also thought the same, the sauce is very underwhelming and not even spicy. More like a bbq sauce to me

  • I had their Habanero offering on Sat, I wasn't expecting much, but I was still disappointed.
    What they don't tell you is that the sauce is a Smoky Habanero. It's heavier on the smoke flavour, and very little Habanero flavour. I am not a fan of smoky sauces as these are usually made with crappy "liquid smoke" rather than something actually smoky.

    Not especially hot, but I wouldn't expect much more given it's still marketed to the masses.

    I would rate it 3/10, as shite as it was, there are far worse sauces out there unfortunately.

  • +2

    Ok listen I am an expert when it comes to taste and spiciness, have travelled all across the world and tried all different flavours. The Habanero actually is very good, but different stores somehow have different tasting Habanero and it varies much more per state unsure why.

    The Habanero is moderately spicy, on a spicy scale level it will be about at Hot on Nandos level, it is edible and surprisingly tasty, the pieces are tiny and you could finish it in two large bites, but if you can handle a little bit of spice you should try this!

  • can they just give me a normal hot and crispy with chips for $5? seriously just keep the sauce and save the cost.

    • +1

      Theres a hot n crispy go bucket now, $4.95. only 1 piece of boneless though

  • +1

    "Until 4pm, Pick up & Online Only".

    Why such restrictions? Weird business mindset!

    • +5

      The trick here is to buy/pay for it before 4pm when it is still available on the app, but don't check in until you're at the store at a later time. This way you've locked in your purchase and can pick it up for dinner. As long as it is the same day.

      • Didn't know about that loophole. Thanks.

    • +1

      Targeting the cheap lunch crowd. You can order before 4pm, and collect anytime before the store close.

  • THE SNACK PACK IS BAAAAAAACK!

  • Had 10 pieces yesterday…..a few pieces were the size of nuggets.
    Everything fit into the little black box. 6 wings and chips fills me up much more.

    • +2

      Must depend on the store. I got 2 black boxes and they were all good large sizes. 2 x 5

    • i got 2 boxes they where slightly bigger then nuggets

  • I've had this twice now, once with the burger and the second time was yesterday with the 10 for $10. The first time was only three pieces but I found it much warmer than with the 10 pack, has it been watered down over the last week? Loved it the first time and still loved it the second, just not quite as much since it lost some heat.

    Why do people order something labelled habanero hot then complain it's hot? Order something else if it's too hot for you instead of complaining and spoiling it for the rest of us that want something with some heat.

    • +1

      Who's complaining?

  • I found it to be sickly sweet, not much heat compared to my usual but to each their own.
    Trinidad scorpion would be good without the sweet.

  • They really need to up the heat on these

    Second time i got it and it's just sweet

    Different outlets as well

  • +1

    Can confirm that if you drown them in sauce and smash down 5-10 they go through you. I can eat a lot of spice and do spice challenges and this just ran straight through me this morning and while at work today. Tasty though.

  • Had this last week. The sauce is kind of sweet and then hot aftertaste! I wish they drizzled the chicken with the sauce properly!

  • Had heaps of sauce on mine. I'm clearly very weak compared to everyone else in this thread since I was tapping out after piece 2. Chicken pieces were not the 'hot and crispy' kind but still pretty decently sized (not that i could eat it :X)

    • How do you find tobasco sauce. I can drink the stuff.

      • +2

        tobasco no issues. pad khee mao at most thai places i have no issues with either and regularly have chinese chilli oils (hotter than LGM). the kfc sauce really hit me though

  • Tried this & a couple of sliders as a quick post workout snack on the way home
    Pretty good 👍

  • Lately experience with KFC has been poor, personally don't eat much of it anymore.

  • The spiciness of this sauce is way higher than standard Aussie levels.

  • A little too sweet but nice spicy

  • +2

    Sauce a bit too sweet. For spice level reference, this would be a western hot, average Asian mild to medium, authentic Thai/Indian mild or less.

  • Do you get as much in quantity as the photo shows? last year there was another snack deal, popcorn chicken and chips for similar price. I got it in the standard meal box and it didn't even get up 3/4 of the way on the side. I showed the person at the counter the photo and said that it doesn't look like what I received. He said, can't do much. That's what headoffice told us to serve.

    • I ordered one this arvo, only got about 10 pieces of chips and had to wait 15 minutes for the chicken. Not worth it imo

  • +1

    Got this for lunch. I found it quite spicy for someone that likes their spicy food. It does remind me of the GYG burrito but more spicier than their habanero sauce

    Don't think I will ever get it again though. Not a family favourite :/

  • This sauce is so sweet. 2/5

  • I really want this but I got the $10 for 10 and was crying from how (profanity) hot the sauce was. They were not tears of joy.
