Q & A

What is Nashville’s Hot Chicken?

Nashville hot chicken is a type of local specialty fried chicken from Nashville, Tennessee. The dish is said to have originated in Nashville, though many restaurants in the nation now serves its special version of the dish. As its name suggests, Nashville hot chicken is fried chicken with a major kick. The chicken is first marinated in a spicy cayenne pepper-based sauce, then fried until crisp. The resulting dish is a spicy and juicy, with a flavor that is unique to Nashville. Hangry Joe’s most popular menu is a chicken sandwich. The Chicken Sandwich is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy meal or something a little more filling, the chicken sandwich is a great option. Packed with protein and spicy flavor, this sandwich is perfect for any time of day.

Is it similar to Korean fried chicken?

Korean-style Fried Chicken is a popular dish featuring fried and marinated chicken. It can be served as a meal, appetizer, snack, or post-dinner snack. The chicken is fried to form a thin, crispy outer layer, which is then coated with a seasoning blend for extra flavor. The unique preparation of this dish gives it a distinct crunchy texture. After frying, the sauce is usually hand-painted with a brush to evenly coat the chicken with a thin layer. Pickled radish and beer or soda are often served with Korean fried chicken.

I don’t know what to choose. What are the top menus?

Our top three menus are Chicken Sandwich, chicken Fingers, and Chicken Waffle.

Chicken Sandwich

Chicken Fingers

Chicken Waffle

I’m a big chicken sandwich fan so I had to give this a try. Sandwich was crazy big. I like a big meal but I’m almost thinking next time I’ll split a sandwich and loaded fries instead of trying to eat the whole sandwich. Presentation was great, taste was great, but I went through a couple handfuls of napkins as it is a really messy sandwich.

David Porter, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Went on a weeknight at 6pm. Busy, but not overwhelming. Restaurant was clean. Food cooked quickly and was very hot and fresh. The hot chicken sando was HUGE and incredible. I honestly like it better than Hot Chick downtown, and the entire combo costs $1 less than Hot Chick’s sandwich alone. Two people could eat this sandwich. My husband had soy Korean nuggets, and there were so many he couldn’t finish them. Portions very generous. Highly recommend & hope they open more — we drove 40 minutes each way to visit!

Laura Maher, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Very very good! I’ve been trying all the chicken places in the area and this is the best by far, the chicken is huge, slaw and special sauce was seasoned perfect! I got medium heat but it honestly didn’t taste hot, so not sure if spice was left off or not. I got the loaded french fries, fries are under the chicken and everything else. They were super busy but still provided excellent customer service, can’t wait for Herndon location to open, it’s closer. Highly recommend.

Natasha King, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Got the Chicken Sando and it was by far one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had 🤤 The combination of the cole slaw and pickles perfectly cuts the heat of the chicken *chefs kiss*
The portion size is quite large, it will definitely fill you up! Will be coming back here again :) Staff was friendly and efficient too.

Joy Shi, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

The chicken sandwhich and waffle fries were amazing. The chicken breast was massive, the meat was tender, and the breading was and crispy even once I took it home. Medium spicy level was not too hot at all. The waffle fries have a really nice seasoning on them, and the sauce they give you to dip in is great. Went back the next day and got chicken and waffles. It was incredible.

Chris B., Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Came here today after learning about it on Instagram. I’ve enjoyed the other chicken spots in the area, and since this is close to my house, I decided to give it a shot.

I ordered the sando combo, medium spice. The lady who took my order was super nice and brought me the food outside where I was sitting. The combo came with waffle fries and a soda. The fries were seasoned well and were crispy. The sauce that came with them for dipping was fantastic! Not quite sure what it was, but the sauce went very well with the fries.

The chicken sandwich was AWESOME. It was hot (temperature) and has a great crunch to it. I think the bun was brioche and was excellent. Somebody said the medium temp was sightly hotter than Popeye’s chicken sandwich, and I would agree with that. The slaw was very good and complimented the chicken very well. I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended!

Andrew Brown, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Finally Chicken meets flavor in Northern Virginia, had heard rave reviews about hangry joes, and once you eat there you will understand what the hype is all about, i had the nashville chicken sandwich with colesaw and pickles on the side, you have to select the spice level and i had opted for the medium one, which is very hot, but the chicken was moist, flavourful and very yummy, the size of the sandwich is very big but ample chicken portions and the service in this location is extraordinary, the lady in front is very courteous and friendly. I would certainly go back again.

Shahid Khan, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Probably the BEST chicken sandwich I have ever had! The chicken had a crispy outside, and a very juicy inside. Portion size of the chicken breast was perfect. I ordered the Hot spicy level, which initially seemed not very spicy, but built up to a nice consistent heat. They have 4 spice levels, Hot is number 3 with Angry Hot number 4 (waiver required). The coleslaw and pickle on the sandwich worked well, and had a great flavor. Recommend this chicken sandwich if you are in search of a tasty Nashville chicken sandwich.

Kevin M, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

One word: SPICY!
I recommend ordering No heat spice level if you are a person who can not tolerate spicy food. I am personally spice lover and can tolerate spicy food but medium and mild both are a bit too spicy for me. Other than spicy, the burger is huge and it’s very fulfilling. I love how clean this place is and the service is so good. Our order came in less than 10 minutes. Love the fries, they are crunchy but soft from inside. Very unique presentation and love how squeaky clean everything is.They have sanitizer for the customers and self ordering tablets too. Overall, a must try unique burger if you are a burger lover. Fun fact, I didn’t find any cheese in the burger so you can call it a healthy burger lol

Mahnoor T, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Simply put, the best fried chicken sandwich place ON EARTH. I am not exaggerating– by far the best tasting fried chicken sandwich I have had. The chicken inside the sandwich is mostly chicken than batter, which is unlike most restaurants do it. The cashier was also super friendly and engaged. Overall, 10/10 experience, highly recommend!

Christina Lee, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Wow, just wow! I got the sandwich, mild, and it was amazing! The chicken was HUGE, moist, and so yummy. And the sauce was excellent. Highly recommend!

Amy Yusman, Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken

Good and spicy. The portions are generous so you can probably share fries. I really like the chicken sandwich. The website is easy to navigate for to-go orders. Their chicken is spicy unless you ask for “no heat.” Their “mild” is more like other places’ spicy. I’m not crazy enough to mess with their medium. Not too pricey considering the portions and how expensive most food is these days.
