ZAZA | THCA EXOTIC FLOWER | CHICKEN N WAFFLES

Chicken N Waffles, also spelled Chicken N Wafflez, comes from Humboldt Seed Company working with Xotic Flavors, crossed from Jelly Donutz #117 and Purple Cartel.

Strains named after food usually have a loose connection to it at best. This one is uncomfortably accurate. The sweet and savory thing that makes the actual dish work is in the jar, and it is the strangest profile in the current rotation.

Appearance and aroma

Dense, resin-coated buds in green and purple with bright orange pistils and a heavy layer of frost. It photographs well and it sells itself on the shelf.

The aroma is the reason to buy it. Maple syrup and buttery pastry come first, sweet and warm. Then it turns savory, with herbs and a light spice underneath and a funky note at the back that is closer to cheese than to fruit.

Flavor

Butter and cream up front, a savory cheesy funk in the middle, and berry sweetness threaded through it. Sweet and savory at once, which is either going to delight you or confuse you.

The terpene breakdown has not been confirmed for this batch, so check the lab results rather than relying on an assumed profile.

What to expect

The classification says indica dominant, but the reports run energetic, creative, and uplifted, which is the opposite of what that label suggests. Worth knowing before you pick it for a quiet night.

At 23.62% THCA it is approachable, which suits a strain you are buying to experience rather than to get flattened by.

Why Chicken N Waffles

Because nothing else smells like it. If you have worked through the fruit strains and the gas strains and want something that genuinely surprises you, this is the jar.
