Usually I eat things around habanero level of spice, but figured I would start medium at Dave’s and work my way up. Medium had no spice and hot was decent, with extra hot being slightly more enjoyable. I figured since I ate an entire tender of extra hot no problem I would try the reaper level next. Separate drinks of milk, lemon juice, and root beer got me this far before I decided that, while it’s enjoyable, I feel the same way eating the first few bites of reaper as I do when I’ve finished extra hot; and while I would like to climb the mountain, having multiple antidotes in between bites just to eat a chicken tender doesn’t seem practical based on my current tolerance level. I will always enjoy Dave’s though and still liked the experience, even if I didn’t get that far.

Lol, just on a pice of bread is wack. It sounds and looks good, but I love spicy chicken. Maybe with some Bleu cheese and a bun.
I like to get a reaper tender, cut it in half along the edge, and put each half in an X-Hot slider
I just tried Dave’s Hot Chicken for the first time today too and got the single extra hot chicken tender. I was disappointed not only because of the small tender for $5 but as extra hot I expected it to have plenty of sauce and heat but I got more heat from the Hardee’s Nashville hot chicken tenders. AND I had to wait almost 30 minutes for the online order which was estimated to be ready in 10 minutes…
I have finished these a few times. Gotta take my time but it’s doable. No antidotes necessary. That said, I find extra hot level to be preferable for a normal meal.
Ah! I’m going there next week
Yeah, the reaper seasoning is so delicious for about 3-5 seconds and then it just becomes pain and gets hotter from there. If you’re a heat chaser it’s a must try.
If you just want a really hot chicken sandwich that isn’t guaranteed to give you a painful bowel movement, I recommend the extra hot.
Get the sandwich, it’s good…
I didn’t care for the quality and taste of Dave’s. I thought it was subpar.
Did the reaper and all the guys working told me I was going to cry, but I found it pretty tolerable tbh. It got me sweating, but I have had hotter vindaloo curry that actually had my eyes blurry.
The 2 Reaper sliders are my go to, heat levels will vary all the time. I’ve gotten very tame reaper sliders and once I got a nuclear batch that made me soo happy lol. I feel like the person who caked on that Reaper seasoning that day really wanted to hurt someone but little did they know I’m broken asf and eat super hot stuff all the time lmao. I love Daves, I don’t get the people who hate on it.
Dave’s is solid but Howlin Rays is just superior on every level. Their hot is much hotter than Dave’s hot level so be careful.
You have to get the sliders
I hope to try it someday…
I never had any issues with Dave’s reaper tendies. It’s hot, but nothing crazy. The first time I tried them I was so disappointed that I brought a piece back home to my wife to try, and even she was unimpressed.
The one and only time I tried Dave’s I think it was the 2nd hottest and it really just tasted like I was deepthroating an entire spice bottle of cumin or chili powder something to that effect. Not necessarily spicy but I couldn’t even taste or feel any meat
I recently tried the reaper, extra hot, and hot. I didn’t think that the flavor of the reaper was good whereas I enjoyed the hot and extra hot. The reaper was no bueno. Tolerable, but not good.
Hot and extra hot are my usual go-to, but I had reaper once just to try it. Took me a while, but still enjoyable
at first I thought this was r/poopfromabutt
