If we’re being brutally honest, there are times when you CANNOT TRUST Disney World.

One of those times is when a Disney World menu tells you that the food is “spicy.” We’ve been eating at Disney restaurants for long enough to know that “spicy” can mean something VERY different depending on which place you’re dining at. A spicy chicken sandwich in Magic Kingdom might have absolutely no spice to it at all. But head over to City Works in Disney Springs and take a chance on that hot chicken wrap and you just might be guzzling milk for days. The range is absolutely wild, so we’re here to help you sort out which spicy chicken is really SPICY and which is just…not. Here’s our official DFB ranking of spicy chicken in Disney World from “That’s NOTHING” to .

Now, on to the spicy (or not-so-spicy) chicken ranking!

That’s NOTHING

First up on our list of not-so-spicy chicken is the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich from Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café (this used to be called the Rocket Hot Chicken Sandwich). This is made with a crispy chicken breast, pickled slaw, and spicy aïoli on a brioche bun. It’s served with french fries for $12.59.

Don’t let this sandwich’s name fool you: It’s anything but spicy. We were expecting a good kick from this meal, but it wasn’t hot or spicy at all. Seriously, do NOT worry if you or someone in your group is spice-averse — you can definitely handle this sandwich.

That being said, when we tried it out we found that the chicken was cooked really well, the slaw was delicious, and the flavors were great. It’s certainly not spicy, but it’s still tasty!

Another very non-spicy chicken option is the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich from D-Luxe Burger in Disney Springs. This sandwich is made with a fried chicken breast topped with buffalo-ranch sauce, blue cheese crumbles, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. You can get it for $12.99.

Like the Cosmic Ray’s sandwich, this one was super tasty, just not spicy at all. When we tried it, the chicken was fried to perfection, the flavors all came together really well and balanced each other out, and the portion was generous. However, we could’ve used a bit more buffalo sauce in order to provide more spice. As it was, the blue cheese and ranch sauce just overpowered any spice that could’ve come through.

This sandwich is a great option for people who like the flavor of buffalo sauce and blue cheese (that blue cheese was STRONG) but don’t necessarily want all the heat that can sometimes accompany those flavors.

The last member of our “That’s NOTHING” category as far as spicy chicken goes is the Buffalo Chicken Chips from Trilo-Bites in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. These are house-made Chips served with Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Dressing topped with Tomato and Celery Relish. You can get them for $9.59.

We’ve really enjoyed these chips in the past (the portion size is generous enough to make them more of a meal than a snack), but they don’t bring the heat when it comes to spice. Instead, they have a pretty classic buffalo flavor, and the blue cheese dressing mellows out that kick.
