Prince’s Hot Chicken

A serving of Nashville hot chicken from Prince's

South Nashville

Why it matters: Prince’s is the original Nashville hot chicken, a Black-owned business that has stayed in the Prince family for generations, now led by matriarch Andre Prince Jeffries. The recipe traces back to Thornton Prince and is the reason the whole hot-chicken craze exists. Order a quarter chicken from mild up to the notorious ‘extra hot,’ served on white bread with pickles; start milder than your ego suggests.
