Just tried the apollo last dab at Popeye's. First time trying a hot ones sauce, and it's really good! Not my favorite thing ever but it's tasty and very very hot. This one doesn't hit you right away, but slowly builds over a few minutes. My initial impression was that it's milder than torchbearer's garlic reaper, but I think it peaks a little bit hotter and also subsides more quickly too. All in all, 9/10 heat and 7.5/10 flavor. Credit to Popeye's for actually selling something genuinely hot.

My Popeyes sucks a bag of balls, but I did really enjoy the Apollo on the smokin’ Rojo sandwich. Chicken was nearly cold, but the sauce was good. If my location was better, I’d probably be eating the sandwich with Apollo the whole promotion. 😅
Is the chicken hot on its own too, or is it just the hotsauce?
