air fryer nashville hot chicken

Nashville Hot Chicken is a spicy, flavorful dish that originated in Nashville, Tennessee. The history of this dish dates back to the 1930s and centers around the family of Thornton Prince. As the story goes, Thornton Prince was quite the ladies' man, and one morning after a late night out, one of his girlfriends, seeking revenge, made him a particularly spicy fried chicken for breakfast. However, instead of being deterred, Prince loved the fiery dish so much that he and his brothers decided to refine the recipe and eventually opened Prince's Hot Chicken Shack.
