Nashville Hot Chicken 🌶️

We visited the famous Broadway area in Nashville, Tennessee yesterday and ended up queueing for Nashville’s viral hot chicken… the line was never-ending! 🐔💥 Nashville Hot Chicken Origin Legend has it that it originated in the 1930s in Nashville at a spot called Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack. As the story goes, a cheating boyfriend was punished by his girlfriend with super-spicy chicken covered in peppers… but he ended up loving it! And thus, a classic was born. Features Crispy fried chicken coated with a signature spicy oil (made with cayenne, chili oil, sugar, spices, etc.). Heat levels range from mild to "Volcano" level 🔥 Traditionally served with white bread and pickles to cool the heat 🍞🥒 Common cuts: breast, thigh, or half chicken Why It Went Viral Its unique spicy and crispy flavor draws crowds of food lovers Spread widely through social media (Instagram, TikTok) as a must-try dish Popular chains like Hattie B’s and Howlin’ Ray’s helped bring it nationwide—and beyond! We tried Hattie B’s yesterday — and it was delicious! 👍 We got a meal that came with two sides too. 👋 #NashvilleHotChicken #Nashville #Tennessee #Foodie
