Some Like It Hot...Not Me! - Hattie B's Hot Chicken, Nashville,Tn

Hot chicken is a thing in Nashville. We had to tryit. I'm not really a fan of hot. It's not that I can't do it. I can eat a jalapeno pepper with nachos with the best of them.  I just prefer tasting the food and not just trying to put the fire in my mouth out. That being said, when we visited Hattie B's in Nashville, I had a decision to make.  Did I want to play it safe and go with the southern chicken with no heat, or in the name of research, go for the heat that Nashville was known for.  I decided to go for the heat! Well kind of.  I went with the mild, bit I did it with nothing to drink! They have 3 different heat levels and mild was hot enough for me!
We ordered the dark quarter that included a piece of white bread,a thigh and leg.  The chicken had a nice crisp skin with some heat. The chicken was very juicy with a slightly salty taste.On the side we had the pimento mac and cheese. It was a very creamy mac and cheese and was very tasty if you like pimemtos, which is also a southern staple. Hattie B's also features other southern favorites on their menu such as banana pudding, peach cobbler and southern greens.    If there was a Hattie B's in Michigan I would definitely be a repeat customer!  Hattie B's has a couple of locations in Nashville , and you can find them on the web at:
