Hot Chicken is a dish originating from Nashville, Tennessee, known for its fiery flavor and crispy texture. Typically made using bone-in chicken pieces, the dish is coated in a buttermilk-based marinade, dredged in seasoned flour, and fried until golden brown. The signature heat comes from cayenne pepper and a blend of spices, which are added either to the flour or brushed on as an oil-based sauce post-frying. While Hot Chicken offers a good source of protein and satisfying flavor, it’s also often high in fat and sodium due to its deep-fried preparation and spicy seasoning. It’s traditionally served with white bread and pickles, complementing the spice but adding carbohydrates and salt. Enjoyed as part of Southern cuisine, its bold taste makes it popular, though it’s best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Adjustments like oven-baking can make it lighter for a healthier option.
