An Unlikely Carrier of the Spiciest Peppers Around
For those who seek to prove their mettle as proper spice chasers, the hot chicken is the cream of the proverbial crop. An odd looking creature, seemingly equal parts fowl and pepper, this bird-like plant seeks out and consumes its spicy cousins in order to produce the hottest chilis in existence. Those who wish to sample even a taste of the chicken’s peppery flavor need only experience its piquant breath, guaranteed to leave them teary-eyed and sneezing with but a whiff.
Fowl Peppers. Sought after by gourmands and experienced hotheads alike, this creature serves as a rite of passage for those who chase the spicy high. As the peppers hanging from it vary wildly in terms of heat, the processing required after harvesting a hot chicken is arguably as difficult as the hunt itself.
Heat Pools. A seemingly curious mix of flora and fauna, the hot chicken sustains itself on a diet of almost nothing but spicy foods. Over time, it converts the capsaicin stored within to produce even hotter chilis from its body, which are highly prized amongst chefs and daredevil customers.
As you round the corner, the spicy scent tickles your nostrils before you even see the beast. Standing just a few feet tall, head bobbing in a manner eerily reminiscent of a proper chicken, you’d be convinced as such if it were not for the vines and leaves comprising its musculature. And of course, the dangling bunches of chili peppers responsible for stinging your senses so, sure to pack an even greater punch once consumed.
