Rob's Famous Fried Chicken — Restaurant in Edmonton

Take this as the highest form of compliment. Its going to be a long time before I come here again.

We, my mother and me, ordered a chicken sandwich, and four chicken drumsticks, each one of increasingly spicier levels of spicy. We had original, hot, extra hot, and clucking hot.

The guy at the till informed us that the extra hot was done with a GHOST PEPPER rub and the clucking with a CALIFORNIA REAPER, we'd never had either before. My mother, confident in her ability to handle spice, but at yhe same time weary from my numerous warnings, tried one little flake of the extra crispy batter before deciding to maybe wait until we were home to try it.

I was apprehensive, I'd seen the videos in YouTube however we both nutted down and tried it.

Our first bites filled us with confidence, we're both Mexican nationals and the drumsticks didn't seem to be that spicy. Certainly hot, but we'd had hotter. What we, in our arrogance didn't realize, was that the rub wasn't evenly spread around the chicken. However a singular baby bite in the actual part with the spice had us literally in tears. The spice ran rampant, a literal inferno in my mouth. You ever watch invincible? That famous scene where Omni man attacks Mark? That was the spice. His victims our mouths. Nothing we tried even came close to handling the savage spice. Not milk, or coke or yogurt. The capsaicin mugging lasted 20 miserable, minutes. 20 minutes of regretting every decision that lead me here. My poor ageing mother tapped out and went to bed with a throbbing headache, the rest of the chicken abandoned until the next day, my chicken sandwich, a hazy after-thought though it was quite big and pleasantly sweet. Im not sure how spicy it was, my mouth was numb.

So if you're reading this and have never had Cali reapers, or ghost Peppers, and for some reason want to commit a war crime in your taste buds, definitely get the extra hot or clucking. If you however love life and and don't hate yourself, keep it...

Your Clucking hot chicken really clocked me unconscious!!!

Whenever I see ghost pepper flavored food it' never the real deal,

I wanted to find out if you were the real deal. OMG! Did I find out!

YOU REALLY GOT ME, and YOU ROCKED ME ALL NIGHT LONG, the day after, and beyond.

I ordered four chicken drumsticks in a scale from the mildest to the hottest, called the Clucking Hot, seasoned with California Reaper.

When I got my Clucking Hot drumstick, I tried a little crumble from the outside. It was hot enough to convince me to wait until I got home.

Once at home, I tried a little bite, and it was edible, but the second bite drove me in a down spiral. I rinsed my mouth with water, milk, yougurt, oh, my overpriced Siggi's! I tried the slaw that came with the chicken (what for?) I tried the dip, I chewed bread and spit it out, and about the fourth slice of bread I started coming back to this world, dizzy, and my head was throbbing painfully as if it was about to split up into two big lobes like the aliens with oversized brains, so I took a pain killer, I put my head under the cold water tap, and I dropped in bed wondering, 'Should call 811, 911 or whatever11?' I thought I might have given myself a stroke! Then I passed out.

Next day I woke up really late with a splitting headache that lasted all fay and part of today.

I am happy to report that there were no permanent injuries. My head neither split nor explode, and my mouth doesn't have any burns,

With my renewed love for life, I promise to be good and never do it again.

Please, for whatever you cherish the most, DON'T try the Clucking Hot chicken if you have children, pets, or pricey collectibles or if you have to drive or use any machinery.

DON'T KISS YOUR OTHER HALF WITH THAT MOUTH unless you're...

Wife and I got a 2pc jumbo strip and 2 chicken sandwiches, one of which was a meal. We paid about $50 total, which isn't too bad considering how much food you get. There was a 10 minute wait for the food, but it was clearly fresh and steaming hot so that wasnt a problem at all. Guy at the counter was friendly and took our order very quickly. The music playing was a bit on the loud side but I was more focused on the food

Parking is whatever you can find on the road outside the building. There are also only 2 tables in the store so unless they are empty you're probably best just ordering and leaving, or getting delivery

The potato wedges were good, nothing to complain about. Overall very solid wedges. They really shine when paired with the Hollywood sauce though. The Hollywood sauce takes an ordinary potato wedge and gives it a lot of extra flavour. We really liked the smokiness and slight sweetness that it had.

The sandwiches were very good. The chicken was juicy and flavourful and there wasn't an excessive amount of breading either. Overall I like it a lot more than sandwiches from other fast food places, but I might like it more if it had tomato and lettuce on it instead of coleslaw

The jumbo strips really lived up to their name. Each of them were massive, way bigger than I was expecting them to be, and very flavourful as well. It paired very well with the Hollywood sauce too.

The coleslaw that came with the meal was ok, but I'm not a fan of coleslaw so your experience might be different from mine.

Overall, I'd say the place is worth a visit. The food is made fresh and is very delicious, and you get a lot of it too. Definitely coming back here next time I'm...
