What makes Nashville chicken so hot? Cayenne. And with our temperature tips and tools, it’s super easy to get right. This version may not be the Prince family’s recipe, (this one comes via Bon Appétit) but it makes one dang fine chicken that will not disappoint when it comes to the heat. (Though it may have been eaten by individuals for ages, the restaurant version of hot chicken traces its origin to a local restaurant there called Prince’s Hot Chicken.) But for the next best thing, you can make it at home. Or, a pale, weak imitation of it.įor the real thing, you have to go to Nashville. This dish has become so popular in the American culinary mind that even a certain Colonel’s restaurant started serving it. Surely you’ve heard of it- 4 fried chicken coated in a vinegar-less cayenne sauce that, at its hottest, is potent enough to bring some people to tears. One particular gem which used to be obscure is the (in?)famous Nashville Hot Chicken. Whether it’s the fried pork loin sandwich of the Midwest or Kansas City’s sliced BBQ pork, America’s backroads teem with hidden gastronomical gems.
