Nashville hot chicken is chicken breaded, deep fried and covered with cayenne pepper served atop white bread with pickles. Chicken is a type of poultry. Cayenne pepper has a Scoville rating of about 50,000. A pickle is achieved by anaerobic fermentation of a cucumber in brine, or immersion in vinegar. White bread is produced from wheat flour made after removing the germ and bran from wheatberries. Atop means the chicken was literally placed on top of the bread. When serving, not preparing. That would be dangerous. I don’t know why it’s called Nashville hot chicken but probably it’s popular in Nashville.
I ate Nashville hot chicken at Howlin’ Jays.
After I had finished a guy came up to my table, introduced himself and sat down. For a minute I thought I might get a free beer but then he asked if I was the manager and I said no. If I was the manager I could have all the free beers I wanted anyway so why would I want to talk to him?
The food was OK.
