The Reaper Challenge — Sydney's Hottest Chicken
Raw Carolina Reaper. Over 2 million Scoville. A waiver with your name on it. This is the hottest fried chicken in Sydney — and it's waiting for you in store.
What is the Reaper?
The Reaper is the top rung of our heat ladder. While our Signature Nash sits in the sweet, balanced middle, the Reaper goes nuclear: we coat the chicken in raw Carolina Reaper, the chilli that held the Guinness World Record as the hottest on the planet. We're talking 2 million-plus Scoville Heat Units — hundreds of times hotter than a jalapeño. This isn't a marketing number. It's a genuine, sweat-down- your-back, regret-and-glory experience.
Nobody else in Sydney is serving fried chicken this hot. If you've conquered every other “spicy” menu in the city and walked away unbothered, the Reaper is the one that finally bites back.
