π Austin | New Spot for CRISPY SPICY FRIED CHICKEN!
Hattie Bβs Hot Chicken is here β and itβs a game-changer! While some still prefer Spicy Boys, this Tennessee-style hot chicken joint is winning hearts. β€οΈ Hereβs how to order like a pro: π Quarter Bird / Half Bird β β Traditional Tennessee hot chicken gets its flavor from the seasoned crispy crust (not the meat inside). While 90% of Nashville spots serve explosively juicy meat underneath, Hattie Bβs in Austin keeps it tender (though not quite as juicy). Still, the crunch is perfection! πΆοΈ Spice Level: I ordered Medium β but feel like they toned it down for Texans. If you handle heat well, go one level up! (Iβd be crying in Nashville with anything above Medium π). π Pro Tip: Choose dark meat + Quarter Bird is plenty for one person! π΅ Sweet Tea β β A MUST with hot chicken! π§π₯ Many places in Austin mess this up, but Hattie Bβs nails it. Not too sweet β you can dilute it with unsweetened tea if needed (I do 1:1). First-timers: be ready for a Southern classic! π₯ Creamy Cole Slaw β Forgot to snap a pic, but itβs delicious β creamy, tangy, and refreshing beside the spicy chicken. π Chicken Wings β If a Quarter Bird is too much, try the wings! Same great flavor, smaller portion. π Verdict: Not quite as life-changing as the Nashville original, but pretty close! Definitely worth a try. π΄βοΈ π Hattie Bβs Hot Chicken 2529 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704 #Austin #NashvilleHotChicken #FriedChicken #AustinEats #TexasFoodie π₯
