My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
Here in Tennessee, we know a thing or two about the heat. The South is known for being hot and humid. When it comes to food, it’s time to turn up the dial from mild to scorching hot. That is precisely what Prince’s Hot Chicken in Nashville, Tennessee does.
Prince’s Hot Chicken is the original creator of the Nashville Hot Chicken.
Starting in 1945 this restaurant has been turning up the heat with its original recipe. Many people have adopted the Nashville Hot Chicken idea which can be found all around the state. There is only one original however and it's found right here in our capital.
The owner Thorton Prince started this establishment but now it is run by his great niece, Ms. Andre Prince Jeffries.
The chicken is hot but the atmosphere in the restaurant is cool. Exposed wood and stylistic paintings adore the interior, setting a great stage for the fiery food you can consume.

There are eight options for heat at Prince’s plain, lite mild, mild, medium, hot, x hot, xx hot, or xxx hot.
You can request a whole chicken, half, or piece it out. Just order some tenders, legs, or wings, but be forewarned they call it hot chicken for a reason.
A popular lunch item is The Andre Chicken Sandwich.
The sandwich itself is on the lighter side with mild boneless breasts, slaw, and pickles. You will also get two sauce options. There are wonderful sides to order and they are everything you could want at a fried chicken place. Baked beans with pork in it, creamy mac and cheese, or seasoned fries are just a few of the options.
There are two locations to feast on Nashville's hottest chicken.
The Prince's Hot Chicken Assembly Food Hall is located in the heart of the city while the original location is in the south. Wherever you find yourself in Nashville you will want to dig into the spicy taste of Nashville Hot Chicken.
One of the oldest family-owned restaurants in the state the fiery food at Prince’s Hot Chicken in Nashville, Tennessee, has marked a place in our history. It is here to stay and we may shed a tear for the beauty of this culinary treat, or it might just be us crying because of the heat.
