Nashville hot
Fiery Southern chicken
Nashville hot describes a style of fried chicken coated in a cayenne-based paste that delivers intense, building heat.
The preparation originated in Nashville, Tennessee, where it became a regional specialty before spreading nationally.
The chicken is typically served atop white bread with pickle slices: We waited an hour for Nashville hot chicken at that new place.
