Hot Chicken Cookbook

Nashville-style Hot Chicken is the Music City’s claim to culinary fame. Entrenched in the city’s history, but also fresh enough to contribute to Nashville’s exploding national popularity as a creative urban scene, Hot Chicken is an addiction and a sweet, spicy salvation to those who've had it. In The Hot Chicken Cookbook, Timothy Davis, a chef, writer, and Nashville resident, traces the dish’s origins back to the late 1930’s at Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, a story of love gone wrong, and follows the trail to its white-hot buzz of today.
