If only chains had the balls to actually serve spicy food
Wendy's did a ghost pepper cheese fry thing some time ago and it was honestly really respectable in terms of spice, It came out during my "3 million scoville hot sauce" phase and I loved it.
Generally when Wendy's has done something spicy it's been spicy.
Wendy's spicy nuggets are by far my favorite fast food chicken nuggets
Most chains, especially if there large ones, and fast food in particular have business models designed to appeal to the greatest number. Often this is with a relatively small menu.
Tastes will vary greatly by area and person so “spicy” means spicy by the standards of the least spice inclined of the target demo.
The other thing to keep in mind is are they cooking it, or just heating it up? Restaurants where they cook you food rather than just heating up a prepackaged item will have more control over seasoning/flavor.
The KFC Nashville Hot stuff is pretty spicy, but they keep taking it off the menu near me
