Hattie B’s Hot Chicken
Función Premium
Nashville Hot Chicken originated in Nashville, Tennessee, likely in the 1930s or 40s. Legend has it that it was created by accident when Thornton Prince's girlfriend intentionally added excessive amounts of pepper to his fried chicken as revenge for his alleged infidelity. However, Prince surprisingly enjoyed the intensely spicy chicken, and it eventually led to the creation of Prince's Hot Chicken Shack, the original home of Nashville Hot Chicken.

The Hattie B's Hot Chicken Sandwich delivers a fiery combination of intense heat, savory fried chicken, and cooling accompaniments. The sandwich is characterized by its spicy, crispy chicken, balanced by the sweetness of coleslaw, the tang of pickles, and the creamy richness of comeback sauce.
The core flavor profile is built upon the fried chicken, which is coated in a blend of spices featuring cayenne pepper as the dominant source of heat. The intensity of the spice varies depending on the 'heat level' chosen. The coleslaw provides a refreshing and slightly sweet counterpoint to the heat. Pickles add a tangy and acidic element, cutting through the richness of the chicken and sauce. The comeback sauce, a mayonnaise-based sauce, contributes a creamy, tangy, and subtly spicy flavor that complements the other ingredients.

Heat Level Selection
Be mindful of the heat levels. 'Mild' is manageable for most, while 'Shut the Cluck Up!!!' is extremely spicy and recommended only for seasoned chili-heads. Start lower and work your way up on subsequent visits.
Side Choices
Consider ordering sides that complement the heat, such as mac and cheese, potato salad, or black-eyed peas. These provide a cooling and contrasting flavor.
Drink Preparation
Have a beverage readily available to combat the heat. Milk, lemonade, or sweet tea are good choices.
Napkin Strategy
Be prepared for a messy experience. Multiple napkins are essential.
