Hattie Z's Nashville Hot Seasoning by The Spice Guy (4 oz)

The origins of Nashville’s now-famous hot chicken date back to the 1930s. As local legend goes, a scorned woman was seeking revenge on her womanizing significant other, Thornton Prince, so she doused his chicken with cayenne pepper, hoping it would be inedible. But it turned out Prince loved it and decided to open a restaurant: Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack. This family-run shop is still around today, now helmed by the original owner’s great-niece, André Prince Jeffries. (excerpt from WestJetMag)

This blend is HOT. We're talking, ghost chile, habanero, jalapeno, the hottest variation of cayenne and few other secrets that we keep up our sleeves. If you want your fried chicken or your air-fried wings to bite back, this is the blend for you.

The best way to get that real southern flavor is to fry your chicken as you would but while you're doing that, mix 1 cup of Hattie Z's with 3 cups of lard (feel free to sub cooking oil or butter) and heat that on the stove over low heat. When the yard bird is done frying, toss it in your spiced lard/butter/oil mix and let it cool. Need even more heat? Sprinkle this bad larry of a spice blend over the chicken at the end of the process to turn it up to 11.
