Fire Up This Nashville Style Shredded Hot Chicken
Nashville Style Shredded Hot Chicken
My all-time favorite city to visit in the U.S: Music City. A trip to Nashville is not complete without trying some of their famous hot chicken (wearing cowgirl boots of course). Although true Nashville hot chicken is breaded and fried, we found this awesome, easy recipe. It brings all of the flavor of Nashville’s hot chicken, combines it with the ease of a slow cooker, and results in a versatile shredded chicken dish. Great in a sandwich, on nachos, or just on its own, your girlfriends will love these Nashville flavors--no matter what city you’re in.
