False advertising, that's what it is..

I bought some chicken wings last Saturday, because the packing said "extra spicy"..

I made some for dinner tonight, and I was excited. "Extra spicy wings for dinner? On a WEDNESDAY, of all days? Yes. Please!"

So I shoved them in the oven, setting the time for 35 minutes. The bag said 30 minutes at 180 degrees", but I always give my food a bit extra, just to make sure the food is done. The smell of spicy wings were all over the house! So good! It made me very excited for the food!

I grabbed my oven gloves and took the wings out of the oven. They looked amazing! Lots of sauce on them, which is absolutely key for getting that SPICY kick.. I then took a bite out of one wing, and.. Well.. let's just say I have had more spicy chips than this..

"Mate, what is THIS..?" I asked myself.. "These wings aren't spicy at all.. Pff.."

I don't want my "extra spicy" hot wings to go down easy. I want to sweat. I want to squirm in pain.. I want to feel EVERY. SINGLE. BITE on my tongue..

But no.. They didn't even manage to do that..

Extra spicy? More like extra weak..

Expectation can come up a little short sometimes Phil, buy your own herbs and spicy mixes then make any dish to your personal taste if you have the time..
It would probably be healthier than the processed food..
I don't think it's that difficult to make you're own.

Once you've made up a big jar of your spice mix, most of the work is done.

You just need an oven baked recipe rather than a deep fried one.
I always have half a dozen or more chilli sauces and sources: nandos peri-peri, tabasco, pickled chillis, sambal, chilli flakes, fresh chillis, and various Chinese chilli pastes. A pinch or two of chilli flakes would have done the job for you 'at a pinch' so to speak.
I do need some hot sauce, so I can cover the wings in it.

I never deep fry my chicken wings. They are always made in the oven
I never deep fry anything ever but I do Air Fry a lot. My house is loaded with hot spices and sauces, some of the Asian markets have fire spices and sauces.
