Customers can now get Nashville hot chicken in a slew of places. Hangry Joe's selling point is that few of those sources bring the eye-watering heat it delivers. The brand offers chicken sandwiches, wings, tenders and wraps in five levels of spiciness, from no heat ("May still be little spicy," online customers are warned) to Angry Hot. You'll have to sign a waiver before sampling any of the selections with that top spice rating. The brave hearts who give it a go could see their name end up on the Spicy Wall of Fame. The concept's secret sauce is exactly that, a proprietary blend of cayenne, chili pepper and flavoring agents that's sure to clear sinuses.
