Add a little spice to your dinner with this extra crispy Nashville Hot Chicken recipe!

This past summer we spent a week vacationing in Nashville and eating all the fried chicken we could get. Ever since then, I have been making this Nashville Hot Chicken recipe.

The combination of crispy chicken, spices and pickles is amazing. Add Argo® Corn Starch to your batter to get the perfect crispy coating.

If you’re looking for a little spice in your life, then you have to whip up this easy and delicious recipe. It’s easy to change up the level of spice by the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce you add.

My secret ingredient to making the crispiest fried chicken is Argo® Corn Starch! When making the batter to fry chicken, it will leave you with a crunchy and beautifully browned exterior while sealing in the juices of the chicken.

*Want more heat on your hot chicken? Then mix together 3 tbsp of hot sauce, tsp cayenne pepper and drizzle over the chicken.

I prefer my chicken extra spicy, while my son likes it mild. So instead of making separate mixtures before frying, it’s easier to whip up a sauce to drizzle on.

Of course I used Argo® Corn Starch for making this chicken recipe, but I also keep it stocked in my pantry for when I want to make thick gravy and sidewalk chalk to slime, Argo allows me to easily deliver delicious dishes and fun activities the whole family will love.
