CAN YOU HANDLE SOME HEAT?

“We specialize in chicken tenders from different spice levels, anywhere from Country - which is no spice at all - all the way to our hottest offering which is called Angry which also requires [from] the person who orders it to be over 18 and sign a waiver as well,” explained Mkhitaryan to ABC15 in a previous interview.
