KFC's take on Nashville-style Hot Chicken is set to arrive on January 18, 2016 nationwide.

The new menu item was tested last year in the Pittsburgh area and is hailed by the fried chicken chain as "the most successful product testing in the company’s recent history."

Hot Chicken is a fried chicken dish native to Nashville but has recently been spreading its wings (so to speak) beyond the area and can be found here and there in several states (including at least one spot here in Southern California). What sets it apart from regular fried chicken is that it's basted in a spicy sauce featuring cayenne, paprika, and either lard or frying oil (No word yet on what's in KFC's version of the sauce).

KFC's version uses their Extra Crispy fried chicken or Extra Crispy tenders as a base that is glazed with KFC Nashville Hot sauce and garnished with pickles. KFC describes it as "the perfect combination of spicy, smoky and crispy."

KFC's Nashville Hot Chicken will be offered in a tailgate platter of 24 tenders for a suggested price of $29.99 (may vary). The chicken will also be available in a individual "basket" meal with either one breast, a drumstick & thigh, or three tenders plus coleslaw and a biscuit starting at $5.49. An 8-piece or 12 tenders meal with a large serving of mashed potatoes and gravy, large coleslaw, and four biscuits will go for a suggested price of $21.99.

Looks tasty.

 

[Exokell]

Finally kfc is targeting the Popeye's demographic. Can't wait to taste this.

[xxracerxx]

Looks tasty.

Looks like they threw their fried chicken in a basket and then threw a measly 7 pickle slices on.

 

[cirrhosis]

KFC is fucking nasty

Hattie B's Hot Chicken from Nashville is the real deal. Best fried chicken I've had, no joke.

'Shut the Cluck Up' seasoning is the only way to go

Looks like they threw their fried chicken in a basket and then threw a measly 7 pickle slices on.

fuck pickles. mistake putting them on there in the first place.

 

[old]

I've never had Nashville style chicken. I'll give the 3-tender thing a try.

 

[Rocketz]

Why are there pickles just kinda hanging out on the top of the fried chicken? If was in a sandwich sure but that's not what this is.

 

[newjeruse]

Is it anything like Hattie B's?

 

[akira28]

fuck pickles. mistake putting them on there in the first place.

same


anyway people have been asking for KFC spicy chicken for years since they cancelled their previous spicy offering...what 10 years ago?

 

[-Horizon-]

Those pickles look so out of place.

 

[D-Pad]

Why the pickles

 

[perfectchaos007]

Will try it for the pickles.

team pickle

 

[BlackGhost]

Xia pls, I didn't even recognize you. I'll try this though

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Looks like they threw their fried chicken in a basket and then threw a measly 7 pickle slices on.

But think of how those pickle slices will leave little soggy parts on the chicken strips, so worth it. I just like the idea of something different for the breading.

 

[Icyflamez96]

the pickles had me like

 

[The Silver]

Will eat and remove every single pickle

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Popeyes on the come up. Got the colonel legit shook.

 

[smurfx]

will definitely try it out.

 

[PeskyToaster]

The pickle hate is out of control and disgusting. These people need to be removed from the planet immediately.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Looks nasty.

 

[Hazmat]

fuck pickles. mistake putting them on there in the first place.

True story.

What I can't stand about KFC is how lazy every one in my area is. Everything has that nasty taste like it was cooked in old oil. Good KFC original recipe is some tasty chicken, but it's too much of a gamble when Popeye's exists.

So weird because here in Thailand pretty much their entire menu revolves around spicy chicken.

 

[hwalker84]

Wait that was a Pittsburgh only thing? These were pretty damn delicious when i tried them months ago.

 

[WaterAstro]

I thought they were jalapeno at quick glance. Pickles make no sense.

 

[Ventara]

What do you guys have against pickles? They're great and go with many things, including spicy fried chicken.

 

[Beach]

Pickles make sense because that's how they are served in Nashville. This isn't KFC just throwing pickles on top for aesthetics.

[Ekdrm2d1]

Why the pickles

wow

 

[Premium Quality]

Saw a commercial for it during the UFC event today. Looks pretty good.
Might give it a shot next weekend.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I might give it a shot.

 

[Rizific]

I'd eat that. WITH the pickles. Pickle haters gtfo

 

[Paskil]

That actually looks really good. Is Nashville chicken good? I see a few mentions of Hattie B's, I take it they're the go to place? Never heard of them before this thread.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Guess I will try this tomorrow for lunch.

 

[Cipher Peon]

I just had Blazing Boneless Wings with ghost peppers from Buffalo Wild Wings for the billionth time so I am in the ZONE for spicy food.

KFC rox, so yes please!

[Veritigo_X]

Nashville hot chicken is so good. Pickles and all. This will definitely get me eating KFC.

 

[Takuan]

I love me some spicy fried chicken. Sup with those prices tho? Are the tenders gigantic?

Oh, didn't see the stuff it comes with. 2 piece combo for 5.49 sounds about right.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Looks dope

 

[Fat4all]

AntiPickleGaf is now the worst Gaf.

Pickles are fucking delicious.

There's a reason they are standard toppings on most restaurants/fast-food places spicy chicken.

 

[Dalek]

The spice description had my mouth watering. Then the photo had disgusting slimy pickes all over it ruining the meal with that disgusting piss juice.

 

[Nikodemos]

AntiPickleGaf is now the worst Gaf.

I concur with this sentiment.

 

[Chris R]

I will say I don't like the ad one bit.

Is the chicken boneless or bone in? Why are the random pickles floating around in the plate?

How is this served and what is the price? All of these questioned left unanswered by the ad.

At least GAF knows how to answer these questions for me

 

[TheAbsolution]

Looks Tasty!

Bruh, bruh..... Deep fried pickles tho *drools*

Should have been jalapeños.
