Music City Hot Chicken may have started in Fort Collins, but its Denver satellite locations are creating a following of their own.
Formerly an outpost inside TRVE Brewing, the South Broadway location has expanded into a hub for hot chicken and fries, Thursday game nights, and even metal music meetups.
So what exactly is hot chicken? Music City’s recipe is based on, you guessed it, Nashville — where the original hot chicken began. Music City Hot Chicken has built upon Nashville’s tradition in a way that honors its roots, but provides even more options for hungry customers. For one, they’ve added salty wedge fries and sweet potato fries to the classic meal.
They’ve also got seven levels of heat to choose from, including a Southern style that has no kick at all. If you go too spicy by accident, some fries dipped in ranch is the best way to ease the pain.
Vegetarians and vegans alike can make their meal meat-free with Music City Hot Chicken’s alternatives: crispy tempeh or breaded oyster mushrooms. And if you’re on more of a brunchy kick, stop in on weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for buttermilk waffles, fireball maple syrup, and dreamy breakfast sandos.
Whether you choose the “Nashville Hot” spice level or you’re simply in love with the taste, don’t be surprised if this place brings you to tears.
