KFC Nashville Hot Chicken (1 Viewer)

Tried a piece of this today (breast). Shockingly decent. Would even eat again and I hate that place. Nowhere near as spicy as the real thing but enough to at least know you are eating some cayenne.

FYI: Their biscuits are still terrible however.

 
Once ate at this hot chicken at some hole in the wall place called "Prince's" in Nashville. Order the hottest they had, the lady at the counter was messing with me telling me that was a bad idea, don't touch my eyes, etc.

Almost melted my face.

Some of the places around Nashville serve ice cream - not even that would help the "hottest" at Prince's.

Might have to try the chicken tenders version to see how it stacks up against Popeye's spicy ones. The Popeye's ones are pretty good, for fast food chicken.

"Pffftttt...Ruth Chris? Garbage. I won't eat a steak unless it's from J&L Steakhouse here in town. The cattle is raised on a small ranch in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. At any given time there are no more than 20 cows on the property. Every day one steer, and one steer only, is driven 72 miles in the back of a custom VW Vanagon to the restaurant.

There it is given a shiatsu massage and then slaughtered by a lefthanded butcher named "Frenchy"...."

Left handed butcher? You poor people have no idea what you're missing. Try a steer butchered by a six fingered man who DIDN'T kill my father

There is no way that stuff is close to as good or even worth the try.

Give me some Hattie Bs anytime....

Went to Hattie Bs. Was not impressed. Greasy mess that soaked the white bread underneath. Somehow the only part that wasnt dripping with juice was the meat inside.. which was pretty dry.

The Shut the Cluck Up was indeed very hot though still quite edible. I enjoyed the heat and the general flavor. Just poorly cooked chicken, IMO.

And if you can't get to J&L you are a LOSER and shouldn't be allowed to eat until you do so.

Tried it today. Not a bad taste...and not overly hot...but had the craziest amount of oil from whatever they used to spice it up.

I took it out of the container and laid the strips on the lid...it leaked the red oil onto the lid...the container was running with the stuff.

It definitely feels like they're trying to put something out there to compete with Popeye's...not a great attempt but not bad either.

They really need to revisit their current menu. The chicken is overpriced. The biscuits are tired and dry. The potato wedges are the most disappointing. Most are too thin and dry as hell.

If I owned this company...I'd make it a point for everyone on the board to actually eat from the menu at least once in a while...there's just no way anyone running the company gets some of this at random and decides, "Yea...this is what we should keep selling."

No...hence your little rant was a bit misguided.

We are talking crappy fast food chicken.

Just as I don't think Steak and Shakes butter burger compares to any of the good Wisconsin butter soaked burgers.

But hey...have at it

What's going on here?

 
The Hammond angle is interesting. I thought it might be a career ender when he was replaced or possibly a low point. Maybe I just have not kept up on SNL but it looks like he is more than just a voice, he is going to come downstairs and play Trump, that could be a several year gig depending on how many crazies come out to vote at the polls.

 
I'm terribly defensive of our city's prized delicacy, have heard from others this stuff is awful.

Everyone's trying it out. Saw an ad that Captain D's has it. :mellow:

 
If you're ever in town and want to try the best, go to Pepperfire. Hattie B's has the best location to downtown, though.

 
I don't know - if they wanted to do Nashville hot chicken, it's not like there are no recipes out there from where they could start. Or just have the flavor development crew take a trip to Nashville.

I cannot speak to it authenticity as I have never been to Nashville so not even going to try. I plan on trying the KFC version at some point in the time in the next few days. Not because I expect to be transported to Nashville, but I do love a good spicy fried chicken.

If KFC was going for something to compete with Popeyes or Bojangles, somewhere in their recipe vault they still have the original hot and spicy crispy version that Pete Rinaldi developed for them back in the early 1970s in Durham before he struck out on his own. Pete Rinaldi's is still the best spicy fried chicken I have ever had, even though it's been closed for almost 30 years.

Pepper fire is darn good too.

And Hattie Be has gotten so popular.

Used to go there more while people were talking more about Princes.

I didn't even know Nashville hot chicken was a thing until these commercials popped up. :shrug:

this thread has everything!

 
So this summer we'll be driving to Florida for a wedding (GREAT idea, right??), and could probably arrange to make a meal stop in Nashville. I'd love to try some authentic hot chicken.

We would be coming in on I-65 from the north, and exiting on I-24 to the southeast. From the googles, Prince's looks reasonably accessible from I-65. Good choice?

It's the original, and quite an interesting experience from start to finish. Pepperfire is also close on that side of town. Hot Stuff is actually my second favorite and is right off I-24.

You can call ahead about 20 minutes and it'll be ready for you when you arrive. :grad:

 
last time I went to KFC, the breading LITERALLY slid off when i went to pick up a piece of chicken.

underneath was barely pale, mostly grey looking blob, with nuggets of gelatinous fat everywhere. I wanted to vomit.

I cant eat kfc ever again. Im in for greasy, messy fried chicken... this was an abomination

 
I have yet to eat it but that mini tub of mashed potatoes, gravy, and "chicken" pieces that KFC sells looks good to me whenever I see it in an ad for some reason.

I noticed Hot Stuff. Good to know it's a good option.

 
So I made Nashville chicken the other day. It was good, but the spicy oil was so spicy that it drove my wife upstairs for an hour and a half.

Be careful with the cayenne I guess is what I'm trying to say.

Had some at Tenn16. It was great, same thing, melted your face.

I guess Tenn16 won an award for best Hot Chicken

A Josh Gordon shirt might be the greatest thing I've seen on this board. This thread rules.

They could market this as a 2 part meal, you get the fried skin that falls off the chicken as an appetizer, then the skinless piece of chicken. Worked for me :thumbup:
