Calling all heat enthusiasts.

These five-alarm chicken bites are sure to kick things up a notch at your next game-day meal.

"Hot wings are a classic game day favorite, so we decided to add a twist to make them hot Perdue chicken bites instead," says Chris Moyer, corporate executive chef for Perdue Farms. "They are spicy, so I recommend pairing with some coleslaw and cooling dipping sauces like ranch and Bleu cheese."

Worth noting: The longer the cayenne pepper oil sits, the hotter the chicken gets, so prep accordingly based on how much heat you can handle. "For any leftovers, I recommend popping them in the air fryer to keep the texture perfect," adds Moyer.
