Sticky Sweet Heat Fried Chicken Sandwich

Sticky Sweet Heat Fried Chicken Sandwich



Strain Pairing:
Pineapple Express (hybrid) – bright tropical sweetness with light diesel backbone. Matches honey heat and fried crunch without muddying flavors.

Terpene Focus:
Myrcene – fruity, herbal, and round. Helps glue together sweet, spicy, and fatty elements into one cohesive bite.
