My afternoon is unexpectedly free, and I'd like to try something different. Is there any place (other than KFC) that makes this in BR?

Overpass Merchant has had it. It may have been a daily special and not a regular menu item

Go buy some Spicy Popeye's and pour a bottle of Tabasco on it.

Overpass Merchant has a Nashville hot chicken sandwich on their menu. It's pretty good. Other than that, I don't know of any other place.

Alright, I'm sold. Heck, I'd go back just for their brussel sprouts. Anyone want to join?

While I like the merchants chicken, to me it jsut tasted like buffalo chicken bites.

Is that what hot chicken is? Ive never had authentic hot chicken.

Nashville hot chicken shouldn't taste like buffalo sauce. It's a blend of hot spices and basically oil that's spread on the chicken after being fried. The batter itself has heat as well. Real Nashville style hot chicken is uncomfortably hot. Like hold your breath when you take a bite wash your hands with vinegar hot.

No. Mixed of chilli spices and oil really.

I was in Nashville last weekend and I didn't go to one of the original places but pretty much this. It doesn't to be this hot, but it is not like eating chicken with just hot sauce on it. It's fried in, and most often it has a sweet aspect to it as well (often on a corn cake covered in honey).

Great balance of flavors when done right
