Chicken Heat is a must-visit for any chicken lover! 🍗

I recently tried their Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and it blew me away. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, nestled in a soft bun, complemented by tangy coleslaw and pickles. The fries, dusted with a delightful seasoning, were an excellent sidekick.

Although the seating options are limited, the quick service makes it ideal for takeout. I can't wait to go back and brave the hotter options next time! Highly recommend if you're in Des Moines! 🔥
