Hot chicken

Hot chicken, also known as Nashville hot chicken, is a type of fried chicken. It is a specialty of Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States. Usually, it is pieces of breast, thigh, leg, or wing. The pieces are marinated in a water-based blend of seasoning, floured, and fried. They are covered in a sauce made with cayenne pepper. This is what gives it its red-orange coloring and makes it "hot".

Hot chicken is often served with white bread and pickles. There are many restaurants in Nashville that serve their own versions of the dish. Its popularity has spread outside the Southern United States.

In 2016, KFC began serving hot chicken in its restaurants across the United States.[1]
