Prince's Hot Chicken Shack South

While the arguments rage on about who makes the best Nashville hot chicken in town, there can be no doubt as to who is the first family of fiery fowl. Andre Prince Jeffries' great uncle Thornton Prince is acknowledged as the founder of Nashville’s most famous contribution to the culinary canon, and the family still brings the heat with their secret recipes. First-time hot chicken eaters are recommended to aim for a heat level lower than you might think. You can always go hotter, but you might not recover.
