We're going to give you a little history lesson on this delicious dish that originated in Nashville, Tennessee. It all started with a handsome and tall 'Playboy' man named Thornton Prince. One Saturday night, his girlfriend smelled the perfume of another woman and the lipstick marks on her collar. So the next day she decided to take revenge by cooking Prince's favorite food, Fried Chicken. However, Prince did not know that his girlfriend had put a lot of Cayenne Pepper in the chicken to make it spicier. But in fact, this happened not according to the expectations of his lover who actually created a new legend in the city of Nashville, because Prince even liked the food and perfected the recipe from his lover so that in the end he created the first restaurant that sells Nashville Hot Chicken called BBQ Chicken Shack which at this time it had changed its name to the family name, namely Prince's Hot Chicken.
...
As hot chicken gained popularity over time and spread throughout other parts of Tennessee as well as other states across America (such as Georgia), people began adding their own touches to Prince's original recipe.
