The origin of Nashville hot chicken

 Fox News:

...

Thornton Prince was a renowned Depression-era ladies' man who married five different women and dallied with many others.

One spurned lover in the 1930s attempted to punish the local lothario by spicing up his favorite fried chicken — secretly, of course — with too much cayenne.

"He was tall, good-looking and handsome," Prince's grandniece, Andre Prince Jeffries — known around Nashville as Miss Andre — told Fox News Digital.

The plan backfired. Badly.

Prince, a pig farmer, loved the rocket-fueled fried chicken.

He was soon selling it out of his home, even staying open until 4 a.m. to meet demand, said Miss Andre, who runs the company today.

The hot chicken sandwich is also available in Texas with its own variations.
