I've made this thread once! A long time ago! lol

Anywho, I talk about and obsess over Hot Chicken way too much probably.

That is what Nashville has become known for in recent years, with shows on the Travel Channel and Food Network covering the dish.

It's really spicy fried chicken. And it's soo addictive.

The story goes like this: a woman, tired of her man cheating, dumped a whole bunch of cayenne pepper all over his fried chicken. Instead of getting her revenge, the man (Thomas Prince) fell in love with it. He then fixed up the recipe and opened a restaurant, Prince's Hot Chicken Shack, focusing on that chicken. And thus, Nashville Hot Chicken was born.

There are now quite a few restaurants that center on Hot Chicken and/or have it on their menu in some way in Nashville. There's even a place in Brooklyn that serves it up! I have yet to try it out. I've read mixed reviews.

I found a recipe for it online and just kind of started doing my own thing with it. It's quickly become kind of my specialty. It's easily my bf's favorite thing that I make, but it's kind of a major pain in the ass.

It's incredible, though, and everyone needs to have it at least once in their lives.
