CARLSBAD, Calif. — There’s some fiery news for spicy chicken lovers in North County as a new restaurant is set to open its doors this weekend.

 The Red Chickz will soon be serving hand-breaded, made-to-order Nashville hot chicken inside The Shoppes at Carlsbad.

Whether your taste buds prefer extreme heat or moderate spice, this crunchy hot chicken can be enjoyed at eight varying heat levels. It starts at a “Flavorful Plain” and escalates all the way up to a daring “Hotter Than You” spice blend.

You can enjoy The Original Sandwich or opt for the Chicken Tenders or Whole Wings, all served with potato wedges.

There are also options for chicken lovers who enjoy the combination of sweet and spicy. Choose from the Chicken & Waffle or the Chicken & French Toast, which can also come as a sandwich.

For those who prefer veggies over meats, you might go for the Nashville hot Cauliflower Sandwich or Cauliflower Bites.
