The 9 Best Nashville Hot Chicken Restaurants, Ranked 2024
"Typically, we’d take exception to a hot chicken joint that doesn’t serve at least one platter of bone-in bird. But we’ll forgive Red’s, as it’s perfected the breading-to-meat ratio on the tenders and boneless thighs, resulting in a nice crispy exterior. Plus, the hot chicken crunchwrap deserves its own religious sect—this perfectly folded and seared tortilla is straight-up oozing with comeback sauce, pimento mac and cheese, and hunks of hot chicken. In terms of atmosphere, it’s pretty casual and accessible, thanks to its walk-up window near the Parthenon and the lack of lines you find at other places. Red’s also gets some bonus points for being able to grab a beer next door from the oldest bar in Nashville, Springwater. " - jackie gutierrez jones 2
