Hot chicken sandwich is Nashville’s signature dish, consisting of crispy fried, marinated chicken pieces served on a toasted white bun. Various cuts of chicken can be used: breasts, thighs, or wings, and once fried, the meat is covered in a cayenne pepper-based hot sauce that penetrates the crispy coating. The heat is balanced by the addition of pickles, shredded lettuce, mayonnaise or a sour cream dressing enriched with various herbs. Known both for its heat and flavor, this spicy sandwich nowadays has an iconic reputation, and it is one of the most popular local treats.
