Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich
This is Nashville hot chicken the way it was born in North Nashville: bone-in dark meat brined in buttermilk and hot sauce, fried mahogany-dark, then painted with a cayenne paste bloomed in the frying oil itself. Laid on plain white bread that drinks up every drop of red spiced grease and crowned with dill pickle chips speared on a toothpick. Fierce, sweet-hot, unforgettable.
