I Ate Nashville’s Best Hot Chicken

[@UncleSam42]

It’s really a shame to me that not that many people watch these compared to your shorts. They’re so much better imo. The interactions you have with others, the detailed processes, the professional tv-level production value, they’re fantastic. I hope you keep making more of these because I really enjoy them

[@cornishpasty4344]

It'll take some time for these formats to take off. Shorts are just that, easy and digestible.... and a gateway to more viewers for Andy!

[@92F0XBody]

Meanwhile I’m the other way around. I’ve only seen a handful of his shorts but watch all of his long form videos.

Absolutely love the owner of 400 degrees! What a lovely woman, and she really does look 21 💁🏻‍♂️ Ms. Andre was amazing too. I hope I get to visit all of these places sometime. And Andy - I absolutely LOVE this series. Amazing job!

[@BnaBreaker]

Andy, as a born and raised Nashvillian I want to thank you so much for this video, and for being respectful of the hot chicken tradition, of the iconic Ms. Andre, and of Nashville in general... most videos about the city, regardless of what the topic is supposed to be, eventually devolve into this cliche' stereotypical clown show where everyone is wearing cowboy hats and ironically saying "ya'll" or whatever. So I just want to thank you for keeping it real, not to mention the very high quality content! Cheers brother!

[@rangered_64]

This is what makes Andy the amazing cook he is. Going to locations where amazing dishes originate to improve his own cooking. Much luv m8 ❤

[@andy_cooks]

Thanks mate

[@leightonschmitt9794]

Ms. Andre is a gem! Love this series Andy.

[@winklenator]

I had Nashville hot chicken at Prince’s for the first time back on my honeymoon in 2020. I picked the medium level spice and I was full on losing my shit in the restaurant. Nose running, eyes watering. It was delicious, but anyone who eats their spiciest sauce is a true spice lord

Yeah I miss getting a bag of chicken at 2am there after a night out. Always hit the spot!

[@Cody_4]

Man, the good ole days. 😂

[@masticatedaily1]

I prefer the hipster scene with hot chicken. Was never a fan of Party Fowl or Hattie B's just way too commercial. Very good choice with 400 Degrees, though. They're surprisingly still kinda underground despite being around for like 15 years. Top notch stuff. I'd also recommend Red's 615 Kitchen just by the Parthenon. Their crunch wrap can't be beat.

[@thompsonandre868]

I live here in Nashville and been watching your channel for a while now. Its nice to see you making these trips.

[@thenext9537]

I love Princes. What you may have realized, their 'mild' is like a medium at Hatty B's. Their next one up is HOT for me! I go there every couple months but since it's down in Nash, I just stay local and go to Moore's spicy chicken or Slow Burn. I don't enjoy Party Fowl as much or even Hatty B's. Locals get mad because the wait is STUPID. Go on an off day, non summer time and it's much better.

[@kylekennedy9212]

Such a great episode chef! I’m a HUGE fan of hot chicken and being in LA, Howlin’ Ray’s is the undisputed king of HC and also being the first restaurant to bring the dish to LA. Great to see the history of the dish and I can tell you really take the time to research and respect it.

[@muszr00m]

Love this and can't wait to see your version! I really wanted to try Nashville hot chicken a while ago but felt like I couldn't find a place in Melbourne that looked decent, so decided to make my own. I purchased a small deep fryer and gave it ago. Turned out good, but I reckon I'll do way better 2nd time. When you drop the how to vid I'll give it another go. Thanks!! 🤙🙂

[@OfficialNakatsuMegami]

I have Party Fowl just down from where i live. Amazing place, the metal chairs are less than comfortable, but do the job. Visiting in off peak hours is key. The amount of chicken you get at Party Fowl is the best among all of them, but i have not tried 400 Degrees yet, I will have to really soon.

[@JoePrasit]

There's 3 phases to hot chicken. Phase 1: The initial bite and heat. Phase 2: The heat builds half way thru you're meal and things heat up. Phase 3: When it hits you lower intestine. Andy really took one for the team smashing 3 hot chicken joints in the course of this filming. The real MVP here is his digestive system. Hot chicken is 100% worth it, but phase 3 is a doozy. Part of the experience.
