#NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN NASHVILLE FREE#
The best way to get that real southern flavor is to fry your chicken as you would but while you're doing that, mix 1 cup of Hattie Z's with 3 cups of lard (feel free to sub cooking oil or butter) and heat that on the stove over low heat. The white meat of the breasts (and wings) need to cook to 160F (71C) for safety, but should not cook any higher or it will dry out. If you want your fried chicken or your air-fried wings to bite back, this is the blend for you. We're talking, ghost chile, habanero, jalapeno, the hottest variation of cayenne and few other secrets that we keep up our sleeves. Music City Flavor Made Famous Introducing the all-new Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Here for a limited time only at these participating locations. This family-run shop is still around today, now helmed by the original owner’s great-niece, André Prince Jeffries. But it turned out Prince loved it and decided to open a restaurant: Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack. As local legend goes, a scorned woman was seeking revenge on her womanizing significant other, Thornton Prince, so she doused his chicken with cayenne pepper, hoping it would be inedible.

The origins of Nashville’s now-famous hot chicken date back to the 1930s.
