Nashville Hot Chicken That Will Have You Ditching the Delivery App
Nashville hot chicken has earned a place in the hearts (and stomachs!) of food lovers nationwide, especially those who crave a fiery twist on classic fried chicken. This iconic dish, which combines perfectly crispy chicken with a mouth-watering spicy kick, originated in Nashville, Tennessee, but has since become a nationwide sensation. Hold that thought if you're tempted by the thought of ordering it! Making Nashville hot chicken at home is not only fun, but it also delivers flavors that are fresher, bolder, and more customizable than anything a delivery app could offer.
A Brief History of Nashville Hot Chicken
Nashville hot chicken has a unique origin story rooted in family, flavor, and a little bit of revenge. Legend has it that the dish was first created by Thornton Prince, a Nashville restaurateur with a reputation for being quite the ladies' man. One morning after a night out, his girlfriend, seeking revenge, doused his fried chicken in fiery hot sauce. Rather than finding it too spicy, Prince fell in love with the intense heat, and Nashville hot chicken was born. Today, it’s a Nashville staple, served at legendary spots like Prince's Hot Chicken Shack, Hattie B's, and Bolton's Spicy Chicken & Fish.
Why Make Nashville Hot Chicken at Home?
Ordering Nashville hot chicken can be convenient, but it lacks the freshness and customization that come with making it from scratch. Here are a few reasons why ditching the delivery app and making it yourself is worth every minute:
Fresh Ingredients: You have complete control over the quality of ingredients, from the chicken to the spices.
Personalized Spice Level: Not everyone loves the intense heat that Nashville hot chicken is known for, and making it at home allows you to adjust the spice level to your preference.
Saves Money: Making a whole batch of Nashville hot chicken for the family or a group of friends is often much cheaper than ordering multiple servings from a restaurant.
Fun Cooking Experience: There’s something incredibly satisfying about the process of frying chicken to crispy perfection and seasoning it just right.
The Key Ingredients for Nashville Hot Chicken
To create this iconic dish at home, you’ll need a few key ingredients, many of which you probably already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
Chicken: Traditionally, bone-in chicken is used for Nashville hot chicken, but you can choose thighs, drumsticks, wings, or even boneless chicken breasts or tenders if you prefer.
Flour: For dredging and creating that crispy exterior.
Buttermilk: Essential for marinating the chicken and tenderizing the meat. It also helps the flour coating stick.
Hot Sauce: Adds flavor and a bit of heat to the marinade. Use your favorite brand.
Spices: A blend of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and brown sugar gives the hot chicken its signature heat and slightly smoky flavor.
Lard or Oil for Frying: Lard is often used for traditional Nashville hot chicken, but any high-heat oil (like peanut or canola) will work.
Step-by-Step Recipe: Nashville Hot Chicken
Let’s break down the steps to make Nashville hot chicken that will have you ditching the delivery app forever.
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
Marinating the chicken is the first step to ensuring it's tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
Ingredients for the Marinade:
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup hot sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally, overnight.
Step 2: Prepare the Seasoned Flour
The crispy coating of Nashville hot chicken is created by dredging it in seasoned flour.
Ingredients for the Seasoned Flour:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
In a shallow dish, combine flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off.
Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, pressing it onto the chicken to ensure it’s well-coated. Place the coated chicken on a wire rack and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This step helps the coating stick to the chicken while frying.
Step 3: Fry the Chicken
Now for the frying! You’ll need a heavy skillet or Dutch oven and enough oil to submerge the chicken partially.
Heat oil (or lard) in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each side for about 7-8 minutes for bone-in chicken (or until golden brown and crispy), adjusting the heat to maintain a steady temperature.
Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
Step 4: Make the Hot Spice Oil
This step is what transforms regular fried chicken into Nashville hot chicken. You’ll use some of the frying oil mixed with spices to create the iconic fiery coating.
Ingredients for the Hot Spice Oil:
1/2 cup frying oil (reserved from the skillet)
1-2 tbsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
In a small bowl, carefully mix the reserved hot oil with cayenne pepper, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Using a brush, generously coat each piece of fried chicken with the hot spice oil. The more cayenne you add, the hotter it’ll be!
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve your Nashville hot chicken with classic accompaniments like white bread and pickle chips. The bread helps to soak up the spicy oil, while the pickles offer a tangy contrast that cuts through the heat.
Tips for Perfect Nashville Hot Chicken
Use a Thermometer: A thermometer will help you keep the oil at the right temperature, ensuring the chicken cooks evenly.
Adjust the Spice: Nashville hot chicken can range from mild to extremely spicy. Start with a lower amount of cayenne and add more if you want an extra kick.
Rest the Chicken After Frying: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before brushing on the hot spice oil ensures it remains crispy.
Pairing Ideas: What Goes with Nashville Hot Chicken
Serve your Nashville hot chicken with a few sides and beverages that complement its bold flavors.
Mac and Cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and perfect for countering the heat.
Coleslaw: A tangy, crunchy coleslaw adds a refreshing element that pairs perfectly with the chicken’s spice.
Potato Salad: Another classic Southern side dish that adds a cool, creamy component.
Sweet Tea: The sweetness of Southern sweet tea is a refreshing way to offset the heat.
Final Thoughts
Making Nashville hot chicken at home might take more effort than ordering in, but the results are well worth it. You'll get to control every aspect of the dish, from the quality of ingredients to the heat, resulting in an authentic Nashville experience right in your kitchen. So, the next time a craving for hot chicken hits, skip the delivery app, roll up your sleeves, and get cooking.

After doing multiple pop-ups in the Boston area, @hotchixboston finally set up a permanent restaurant slinging spicy southern treats. Their hot fried Nashville chicken is next level hot and very moreish. It’s a great way to get a taste of the south while in New England. #hotchixboston #nashvillehotchicken #southern #friedchicken #nashville #boston #chickensandwich #massachusetts #usa #america #tbt #seasonedplate (at Cambridge, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Codp4eztea8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying @wingkingsmaui at the @kiheifoodoasis 🍗
//
With a name like wing kings, I can confidently say that their wings do in fact back their royal title 👑 I stopped by Wing Kings initially a few years ago, but they've been a staple to visit in Kihei ever since (along with the other amazing food trucks at the gardens) 🛺
//
I visited alongside @lindsaylou4 recently and got to try some of their teriyaki wings (a classic I've had from them before), and also their lemon pepper wings (they make their own lemon pepper rub!) and it was amazing! Lemon pepper isn't a flavor profile I see people ordering as much when I was growing up, and it's so ono 🍋🍗 we also got the animal fries and I absolutely recommend trying those (smash sauce, grilled onions, melted cheese - you can't go wrong) 🍟🧀🧅
//
I also visited on my own a couple times to try their chicken sandwiches! I got the Nashville Sando (I chose the Honey Girl level of heat) and the Buffalo (a popular choice when asked) and I also recommend both! A good choice in case you were looking for a more personal dish than a shareable one 🍔 Check them out next time you head to Kihei!

I was feeling well enough, and stir crazy enough, that I thought it might do me some good to get out of the hotel to at least get a meal last night. So I brought myself to Hattie’s Chicken, which was just a couple blocks away, to try some Nashville Hot Chicken, on the theory that some really spicy food might help blast out this cold. I ordered the “Damn Hot” level of heat, which was just below their top tier, “Shut The Cluck Up”, absolute spiciest level. And WOW!!! Yeah, Damn Hot was right!!! It was just about at the precise point of spiciness that I consider to be still edible. Barely. But I tell you what, it was worth it!!! It was genuinely pretty f**king delicious!! The spiciness did not overwhelm the flavor. And actually added to it. Plus the pimento mac & cheese, southern greens, and pickles, acted as the perfect balance and cool down agents. I was worried this cold would make me miss out on what Nashville has to offer. And while I didn’t get quite the chance to get out and around as I’d have liked; I did get a nearly perfect first night in town. And I got this tasty Nashville Hot Chicken at Hattie B’s!!!! #adventurer #foodie #nashville #nashvillehotchicken #localcuisine #southerncooking #friedchicken (at Hattie B's Hot Chicken) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj6Dhoxv5db/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
