8 Reasons Why Hot Chicken Reigns Supreme
Don’t mistake hot chicken for ordinary fried chicken. It might have the same golden skin fried to crispy perfection, the same succulent meat cloaked inside, and the requisite grease left behind on your fingers after indulging, but to Nashville—where it was invented—hot chicken is so much more.
Legend has it that Thornton Prince of the iconic hot chicken restaurant Prince’s Hot Chicken is responsible for this legendary Music City staple. The story goes that during the Great Depression, Thornton, who loved the ladies almost as much as he loved fried chicken, spurred jealousy in his partner after returning home late after another evening on the town.
Her revenge was to prepare him his favorite fried chicken recipe spiked with fiery hidden spices that she hoped would set his mouth ablaze. Instead, much to her dismay, he loved her recipe and a Nashville mainstay was born. There are countless reasons to love hot chicken as much as Thornton did. Here are eight of them.
Carlsbad Cravings
This is a classic hot chicken recipe, complete with a buttermilk bath for juiciness and a side of hot sauce for extra heat. There’s so much to love about this dish including the way the spice rub can be added to other recipes for a little extra heat. Get the recipe.
The Loveless Cafe
No hot chicken story would be complete without including the recipe from the storied restaurant The Loveless Cafe, located a short drive from Nashville. Devotees flock here for the warm biscuits dripping in honey butter and the hot chicken that doesn’t skimp in the lard department, complete with a side of dill pickles. This is an indulgent hot chicken recipe sure to convert even the most stubborn fried chicken devotees. Get the recipe.
Nashville Hot Chicken Wings Recipe
Cooking With Janica
The full bird should have its due when it comes to hot chicken but sometimes, you’re just craving the wings. Brown sugar tempers the blazing hot sauce and spicy hot chicken coating and white bread is served alongside to mop up every last indulgent fried crumb. It’s a game day winner and would be made even better with a side of creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing. Get the recipe.
A Cozy Kitchen
Don’t get us wrong, we’re all for basking in the indulgent glow of greasy fried hot chicken, but sometimes you’re craving the heat without the food coma that could potentially follow. This is that recipe. Baking hot chicken decreases the grease factor while still delivering the adrenaline heat rush of the original. Get the recipe.
The Candid Appetite
Sometimes you’re craving the heat wallop that hot chicken delivers without all the bones. This hot chicken tender recipe is just the thing to satisfy that desire. Even better for the health conscious, the tenders are baked, not fried, so you only have to fend off a minor amount of hot chicken guilt. We love how they’re stacked atop the white bread slices and topped with dill pickles to form a Nashvillian take on a classic Scandinavian open-faced sandwich. Get the recipe.
Miss Robbie’s Honey Hot Chicken
Kristiahna Clark
Miss Robbie Montgomery (aka Sweetie Pie) runs her beloved restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri where her dishes and hospitality are legend. Her honey hot chicken is a mainstay that her devoted customers would never let her remove from the menu. It keeps them happy and will do the same for you with a honey hot chicken glaze that necessitates finger licking to catch every last drop of spicy-sweet goodness. Get the recipe.
The Meaning Of Pie
This is a crowd (and picky eater) pleaser since it’s pretty much impossible to resist hot chicken, and blue cheese crumbles atop a pile of fresh greens that are guaranteed to delight nearly everyone at the table. This fun recipe skips the chicken breading and frying but delivers all of the spicy flavor of classic hot chicken. The bacon is an added bonus. Get the recipe.
Nashville Hot Chicken Style Hen of the Woods Mushrooms
Chubby Vegetarian

How To Plan a Baked Potato Bar For Your Next Party
Planning a baked potato bar for your next get-together is an easy way to keep your sanity the day of the event because so much of it can be prepared ahead of time. Toppings can be planned ahead and stored until the big day and the potatoes can be baked until tender the morning of the party and then simply warmed through just before they are ready to hit the buffet table.
Baked potato bars are not only easy on the host, they also appeal to nearly everyone including picky eaters, carnivores and vegetarians, the health conscious, and those who prefer to indulge because a wide variety of toppings can be served to win over nearly anyone.
It’s also an easy way to offer a healthful buffet table since countless vegetables can be included and the baked potato itself is a nutritious base from which to begin. Consider planning a baked potato bar for your next get-together. It works just as well for a crowd or a small gathering and is a fun way to bring everyone together as they load up their potatoes.
- Decide what ingredients you will offer as toppings. Be sure to include a variety of options to appeal to the pickiest eaters as well as those who you know will get creative with their flavor combinations.
- Include a few cheese options such as crumbled feta, goat cheese, and blue cheese along with shredded cheddar, Gruyere, and Monterey Jack; proteins could include shredded chicken, beef, or pork, fried and crumbled bacon bits, crumbled smoked salmon, and barbecued shrimp; vegetable ideas include caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, grilled bell peppers and corn removed from the husk, and chopped broccoli and tomatoes; sauces could include BBQ, ranch, honey mustard, salsa, pesto, and Sriracha; condiment ideas are thinly sliced scallions and chives, capers, toasted pumpkin seeds, sour cream, black beans, sliced avocado or guacamole, and pickled jalapeño slices.
- Prepare as many of the ingredients the day ahead as possible. Refrigerate or keep at room temperature until party day.
- Decide what potatoes you would like to serve. Larger potatoes such as Idaho are always successful and plan for two potatoes per person. Mix it up with the addition of a few baked sweet potatoes.
- Prepare the potatoes the morning of the party by first preheating the oven to 400 °F and scrubbing the potatoes under cold running water to remove all debris. Pat dry with a paper towel then poke a few holes in the potatoes using a fork to release air while they bake and avoid cracking or bursting.
- Coat each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap each potato separately in a double layer of aluminum foil and bake until fork tender, approximately 50-60 minutes, depending upon size. Keep the potatoes wrapped in the foil until guests arrive to keep them as warm as possible. Reheat them if necessary by baking for five minutes to warm through.
- Gather bowls, spoons, forks, napkins, serving platters, and sheet trays the day ahead. On the morning of the party, arrange everything decoratively in your potato bar space and ready the sheet trays by lining them with a layer of aluminum foil. You can use these for the potato creations that need to be twice-baked.
- Write on a chalkboard or pretty piece of paper a list of ingredients and if you’re extra motivated, include a list of flavor combination ideas.
- A half hour before guests arrive, unwrap the potatoes and using a sharp paring knife, slice an “X” lengthwise on the surface of each potato so they’ll easily open for guests to stuff.
- Arrange the potatoes on a serving platter along with the toppings and garnishes in a line alongside them. Begin with a plate of softened butter along with salt and pepper. Next, place the proteins, the vegetables, the condiments, the sauces, and finally the garnishes.
- If guests would like to bake their potato once it’s loaded, let them know to transfer it to the prepared sheet tray once it’s ready. Be sure that each topping bowl or plate includes a fork or spoon and that at the end of the line, there’s a stack of napkins. Baked potatoes can be messy, but that’s the fun of it!

Say Hello to Ruby Chocolate
We love chocolate in all its forms, from darkest dark to milky white (even though that’s not technically chocolate, it’s close enough, and it’s delicious). No matter what shade or intensity, chocolate never really gets old. But now, for the first time in 80 years, we’re saying hey to a totally new kind of cacao: ruby chocolate.
Rather than the deep red its admittedly delightful name suggests, it’s really more of a lovely blush shade of pink (kind of like Millennial Pink, in fact), which occurs naturally and is derived from the ruby cocoa bean. Absolutely no dyes, food coloring, or artificial flavors here!
Speaking of flavor, ruby chocolate is purported to have an intense taste of “berry-fruitiness” quite unlike any of the milky, bitter, or sweet flavors we’ve come to know and love in chocolate, and to possess a “luscious smoothness.” Sign us up!
The chocolate innovation was many years in the making, as Swiss confectioner Barry Callebaut worked to develop a process to unlock the ruby cocoa bean’s beguiling natural color and flavor. The new chocolate opens up a whole new world of sweet possibilities, but we’ll have to wait a while yet to sample them ourselves. It was just debuted at an exclusive launch event in Shanghai, but since Barry Callebaut doesn’t sell directly to consumers, it could take 6 months or so for chocolate manufacturers to make something of the new ruby chocolate and get it to market.
We’re sure we’ll be tickled pink by the results. (And stuffing our faces with old school dark, milk, and white chocolate in the meanwhile.)
