Nashville Hot Chicken | Glass Jar Inspiration
What is Nashville Hot Chicken?
Nashville Hot Chicken is a sweet and spicy seasoning or meat rub inspired by the southern flavors of Nashville, Tennessee. Try it on chicken, pork, salmon, roasted nuts, or roasted veggies, shrimp, turkey, or add it to butter to top your steak. While most Nashville Hot Chicken joints make extremely spicy blends, this rub offers only moderate heat.
Hot Chicken is typically a fried chicken breast, thigh or wing that is marinated in a water-based blend of seasoning, floured & fried then covered in paste or sauce seasoned with cayenne pepper. Served on white bread with pickle chips.
