When it comes to fried chicken, some like it hot. Really hot.
Hot chicken, aka Nashville hot chicken, is Music City’s culinary specialty, spicy fried chicken, served on slices of squishy white bread. A staple for the hungry late-night crowd, Nashville hot chicken has a crispy outer coating of sweet sugar, garlic, and fiery cayenne (and other) chiles.
Just how popular is hot chicken? Well, it has become such a hit that for the past 10+ years, Nashville citizens have created the annual Music City Hot Chicken Festival that takes place every Independence Day. The festival features a fire truck parade, live music, a hot chicken cookout, and lots and lots of hot chicken. And the craze has spread to cities far from the Grand Ol Opry, with national news organizations reporting on hot chicken joints in LA so popular, your carry-out order has to be placed up to one month in advance.
