Captain D’s riff on hot chicken
One of the year’s big crazes has been Nashville-style hot chicken, a variety of fried chicken made with a highly peppered batter and served with pickle chips, usually atop some sort of bread. Captain D’s figures it’s the breading rather than the protein that appeals to customers, so it’s offering Nashville Hot Fish for a second limited-time engagement, following what the chain says was a successful test last year.
Captain D’s suggests that it has the cred to spice up its fish Nashville-style because it’s based in the city that invented hot chicken. The item sells for $4.99, with two sides and hush puppies included.
