Unique Nashville: Things To Do In Music City Besides Music

Prince's Hot Chicken

Eat: Prince's Hot Chicken

123 Ewing Drive

Tuesday-Thursday 11:30AM-10PM, Friday 11:30AM-4AM, Saturday 2PM-4AM

Aside from music, this town is known for a delightfully spicy version of fried chicken, called 'hot chicken'. In the 30's, local womanizer Thorton Prince came home to one of his several girlfriends, who in turn was not happy about Thorton's easy loving ways. One night, this particular girlfriend decided to get revenge by tricking him into eating a helping of his favorite meal--fried chicken. Only this time, she covered it in the spiciest ingredients she could find. Her plan backfired; Prince loved the dish so much that he opened Prince's Hot Chicken, and the rest as they say, is history. Take the advice of locals, and try the medium if you want to actually feel your tongue afterward. Cash only.

If you're looking to do some dining comparison, hit up Hattie B’s, Pepperfire and Bolton’s. Want to plan ahead? Come down for the Music City Hot Chicken Festival every July 4th.
