    Crazy thing, this recipe. I actually had never been to Nashville prior to developing this recipe. Last week I had the opportunity to explore Nashville for the first time and even got the opportunity to try the famed, Nashville chicken sandwich. And, guess what? I realized mine was on point.

    Warning: Nashville-style hot chicken is not for the faint of heart. Apparently, it has it’s origins as a punishment for an adulterous man, but I guess that didn’t work out so well since it’s so damn delicious to spice-lovers out there.

    Obviously, you can adjust the spice level by adjusting the cayenne pepper. The dill pickle inspired slaw along with the soft, toasted bread help to cool the mouth from the inferno. Tip: if spice isn’t your thing, you don’t want to miss this slaw, give it a try on it’s own – it works great on tacos or as a side at your next summertime BBQ. Maybe pair it with this, this, this, or that. Without further delay, enjoy your Nashville chicken sandwich!
