🌶️ Fried Chicken (JPGS × BBG) - Seeds
The Fried Chicken is a spectacular superhot cross that originated from a JPGS (Jays Peach Ghost Scorpion) and a BBG (Bubblegum). This combination creates a pepper that is at once extremely hot AND visually impressive: medium-sized, heavily crinkled pods that resemble a crispy piece of fried chicken. As they ripen, they color from green to a intense orange, which makes them a real eye-catcher in the garden as well as in the kitchen.

✅ Why choose Fried Chicken?
