Copycat KFC Nashville Chicken Recipe

There’s been a lot of buzz off late about KFC’s Nashville Chicken. The fast food chain recently launched the chicken in India with a unique marketing strategy; it asked customers to stand in a queue for a special ATM which dispenses tokens to try the chicken free.

KFC’s Nashville chicken blends together cayenne and smoked paprika and is available in tenders, Chicken Little and Extra Crispy Chicken.

If an ATM dispensing chicken coupons hasn’t hit your neighbourhood yet, why not try whipping up the chicken at home? This copycat recipe from Food Hacks allows you to fry up a delicious crispy batch of fiery chicken. Serve it with a side of fries for an indulgent lunch or dinner.
