FAQs
Well, it’s no secret that spicy chicken is soaked in a spicy marinade or rubbed with spicy seasonings. It usually includes pepper flakes, chili paste, cayenne powder, hot sauce, or sriracha.
Technically, both male (roosters) and female chickens (hens) are edible. And for the meat industry, both are used. That means that by the time it gets to the grocery store, we don’t know which gender it was. However, hens are the obvious choice if producing eggs. 😉
Chicken is a versatile dish that goes well with pretty much anything. Some of the crowd favorites include mashed potatoes, salads, roasted veggies, and, my favorite of all, rice dishes.
