The massive popularity of Nashville-style hot chicken has blown up across the country the last few years and shows no signs of stopping. Nowhere does it better though than the original chicken shack that started it all, Prince’s Hot Chicken in Nashville, Tennessee.
The flavor scale must be paid close attention to, as hot tends to apply to the entire scale, even at the lower levels compared to other regions. Plain is the only safe bet for people who have no heat tolerance or do not enjoy heat, while lite mild is ideal for the same individuals with a sense of adventure. Mild is probably still too hot for many people, while the medium will certainly be, though that is a great starting place for those who truly like it hot. At the other end of the spectrum, the max heat flavor one can get is XXX hot for those brave enough.
Chicken at Prince’s comes in many forms, though a personal favorite is the tenders, which come in portions of four. Jumbo wings come in threes, while whole and half chickens are also available, as well as just breast and leg quarters with wing and drumstick included respectively.
For big groups, chicken tenders and wings are both available in bulk portions of twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five, or one hundred, while bulk sides of fries, mac and cheese, potato salad, coleslaw, and baked beans are all available in small pans with fries also available in a large pan.
Make sure to try the weekday Andre chicken sandwich special if in the area for lunch too. The Andre comes with a mild boneless chicken breast, pickles, and coleslaw for an epic crunch level and choice of sauce between sweet heat and kickin’ ranch. No matter the choice, one is in for a world of amazing flavor.
