WHY IT WORKS

Fried chicken naturally loves heat. The combination of crispy coating, juicy chicken, creamy slaw and spicy sauce creates the perfect balance of texture and flavour. H-06 LIFTOFF brings sharp garlic flavour and aggressive ghost pepper heat.

BEST CUT

Recommended: Chicken Thigh Fillets. Juicier, more forgiving, more flavour than breast.
