Do you have what it takes to eat the hottest chicken in town?

We visit the brand-new Houston’s Hot Chicken in the 18b Arts District in downtown Las Vegas to try the 2 million scoville Houston, We Have a Problem chicken tender. While we were at it, we did the same spice challenge that local viral food influencer Keith Lee took on, trying each of the spice levels.

With four locations open in the Las Vegas valley and two more under construction, Houston’s TX Hot Chicken is a local business based right here in town. They are a fast-casual restaurant specializing in Nashville hot chicken sandwiches and serving other southern inspired foods. HHC prides themselves on using ingredients that are all natural, sourced responsibly, free ranged, and never frozen.
