Why are hot chicken sandwiches so popular?
Nashville hot chicken sandwiches (and chicken sandwiches in general) have become so popular they’ve led to shortages in recent years. But why?
First, they are delicious. Nashville hot chicken sandwiches are made with crispy, juicy chicken that is coated in a flavorful, spicy sauce. The chicken is fried to perfection and the spicy sauce is flavorful and addictive.
Second, they are unique. Nashville hot chicken is a regional specialty that is not widely available, which makes it a sought-after dish. Third, they are affordably priced for the masses. You can usually order a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with sides between $9 – $18 depending on where you dine.
Finally, they are portable and easily customizable based on flavor preferences. Nashville hot chicken sandwiches are easy to eat on the go, making them a popular choice for lunch, dinner, or drive-thru order. Adding different levels of spiciness, providing add-ons, and giving consumers the privilege to choose if they want to add greens, pickles, a secret sauce or tomatoes these are easy to add or remove.
