Angry Chickz is a Nashville Style Chicken fast food chain from California that just opened their first Arizonian location in North Glendale Arizona also known as the upper west side of Metro Phoenix.

They use chicken tenders and they come in SIX different varieties of heat from – no heat up to – sign a waver.

Then after you decide what heat…. Then you might go for one of the combos.

Combo #1 – 2 sliders, slaw, pickles, fries

Combo #2 – 2 tenders on white bread, pickles, fries

Combo #3 – 1 slider, one tender on white bread, pickles, fries

Combo #4 – 2 tenders, buttery rice, slaw, pickles

They also offer separate sides and three bowls…

One bowl is called Angry French Fry Bowl, another is Angry Mac Bowl, and the last one was called Hangry Bowl.

You can dine in or go threw the drive thru.

We did take out and dined at a local park nearby with the dogs.

We tried a variety of things and different heats. We ordered way more than we needed. The portions and size of the tenders were bigger than I guessed that they would be.

We ordered (top left) one side order tender in “country” no heat …(bought for the dogs)

(top right) was two side order tenders. One in medium heat and one in hot (not marked but easy to figure out that the redder one was “hot.”)

Our order came out slightly different from what we ordered….(slight opening hiccup)

We were suppose to get a side order of macaroni and cheese but that didn’t come and got an extra order of fries for free instead. (cashier read back macaroni and cheese but didn’t ring it up)

Bottom left is the Combo #4 two medium heat tenders with lots of buttery rice and slaw.

Bottom right is Combo #3 one slider, one tender on bread, fries, pickles.

We’ll start with the tender in country (no spice or heat) It came on a slice of white bread that is lightly toasted.

This one has the BEST texture of all the tenders. This one is the only tender with a crunchy exterior.

The chicken inside is very moist and very tender. I took a tiny taste…It really is pretty good. It doesn’t taste boring. I fed the rest to the dogs.

We tried the medium slider

It’s pretty tasty………But when I taste the chicken alone I am very surprised on how very hot it really is……Medium is PRETTY DARN HOTTTTT!………Again the chicken is very moist and very tender…The exterior of this chicken looks crunchy but is moist and kind of soggy……..I like the flavors but I don’t like how this feels powdery in my mouth….The fries are crisp, well seasoned, and have fluffy interiors.

We also tried one tender in hot……

The tender on the right is the hot…………….I take a bite and it is too FORKING HOTTTTTT! for me………..It’s FORKING PAINFUL….. Same for my husband and we LOVE hot food. But if hot is too hot for us then I think hot is too hot for most people….We had to throw it out. So glad I read reviews warning that medium is to hot for some people…Otherwise I would have ordered mostly hot and would have been very upset.

I can’t believe that they make two levels hotter than hot…

After hot they offer X hot – call 911

and Angry – sign a waver

The “Hot” is so painfully hot……… I think that it is a danger to offer the “X Hot” and the “Angry.” Even the “Hot” is a danger and the “Medium” runs very hot and would be too hot for a lot of people.

We also tried the Combo #4 in medium.

The buttery rice is fresh and perfect. The slaw is also fresh and seasoned very well and isn’t drippy. Again the chicken is very moist, tender and the flavors are good but I don’t like the outer texture. It’s moist and powdery at the same time. Only the tender with no heat (“country”) was the only tender that had a crunchy coating. Maybe the soggy texture on the medium and hot was a packaging issue???????

Not bad for fast food. The chicken seems to be equal quality compared to what supermarkets sell.

I think my favorite was the slider in medium. With the bun, slaw, and pickle the flavors did taste the best and I didn’t really notice the exterior textures that I didn’t like…..But a close second was the no head country tender. It just tasted like a good tender that anyone would like.

I also note that I did Take Out and might have tasted different results than dining in.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND any chicken ordered in HOT, XHOT, or ANGRY.

That was my trip to Angry Chickz in Glendale AZ.
