• Red's Hot Chicken - 115 27th Ave. N, Nashville, TN 37203
  Before starting Red's Hot Chicken, Chef Eric "Red" White was a classically trained chef with over 15 years of experience at some of the most prestigious restaurants in the city. Now, he uses those skills to bring you the best Nashville Hot Chicken you've ever had. Most of their chicken can be ordered at a variety of heat levels: Southern, Mild, Medium, Hot, and Nashville Fire. But Nashville Fire is the clear favorite among patrons. In fact, you can even buy a bottle of Red's 615 Hot Chicken Spice Mix seasoning on your way out to give your own cooking that Nashville kick.

  The staff at Flamie's Hot Chicken doesn't just serve good food. They strive to create the best dining experience for every customer. As such, their menu offers much more than just chicken. You can also get seafood, sandwiches, burgers, and a truly impressive number of sides and appetizers, from corn nuggets and fried okra to mozzarella sticks and cheese ravioli. Their chicken is still their signature, though, and you can get it all different ways, from tenders to wings to sandwiches to chicken and waffles and much more. However you order it, Flamie's will leave you coming back for more.
  
  
• Prince's Hot Chicken - 5055 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203
  Nashville hot chicken was purportedly first invented by a jealous girlfriend who wanted to overwhelm her boyfriend with heat as punishment for a night on the town. The plan backfired, and the boyfriend, Thornton Prince, ended up opening Prince's Hot Chicken—the original Nashville hot chicken restaurant. Today, the restaurant is owned by Thornton's great-niece, André Prince Jeffries, and it remains the standard by which all other chicken shops are measured.
  
  
• Pepperfire Hot Chicken - 5104 Centennial Blvd., Nashville, TN 37209
  Since 2010, Pepperfire Hot Chicken has combined traditional Nashville offerings with unique menu creations. Choose from white meat, dark meat, wings, or tenders on a slice of white bread with pickles. If you're feeling adventurous, try chicken tenders with baked apples inside a grilled pepper jack sandwich. Whatever you choose, it's sure to be delicious.
