I love my insane chicken salad

YES! It's Friday! That means I get to have my insane chicken salad from Zaxby's. They have one of the best takeout salads. I'm a regular customer for them at 11 AM every Friday. I've worked it out in my family's budget that I get to have this treat each week.

For those that don't know, the insane chicken salad is the house salad from Zaxby's with a chili head kick. I discovered one day that they will make modifications to the salad upon request. So, I order the house salad with buffalo chicken dipped in their insane sauce. The insane sauce is the hottest sauce that is available. I absolutely love it! I always get excited when I smell the intense flavor when it comes through my window

I remember I discovered this on my way back from southern GA when we stopped in Atlanta for lunch. I ordered a regular house salad and 5 insane level chicken wings. The cashier then asked me if I would like the salad to have insane sauce on it as well. I said, "YES! I didn't know you could do that!" That's the day I fell in love with this salad. Thank you ma'am for asking that question!

One time when I ordered it, a worker brought it out to my table and said "Sir, I don't know how you can eat this!" That made me laugh.

I had something similar happen at Baumhower's restaurant when I ordered their hottest wings. I ordered wings with the Bring Da' Pain sauce and the waiter asked "Do you like to taste your food?" Why yes. Yes I do. I just like for my food to be intense.

In closing, I highly recommend the Zaxby's house salad.  In particular, those that are willing and ABLE, try it with the insane chicken.  But, I caution you.  The insane sauce should only be consumed by professional chili heads.
