Thornton Prince was a legendary Nashville lothario who was served a plate of insanely hot fried chicken as revenge by a crossed lover. It's now known as Nashville hot chicken.
Variety, they say, is the spice of life. Tennessee tastemaker Thornton Prince was living proof. A legendary local lothario in early 20th-century Nashville, Prince possessed an appetite for fried chicken — and the ladies. His passions have made him a legend in American culinary circles. Prince is the king of Nashville hot chicken. MEET THE AMERICAN WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR THE INTERSTATE, GEN.
blistering food trend across the United States today, Nashville hot chicken comes with a bawdy origin story as hot and spicy as the steamy oil used to bathe Prince's poultry. 'He was a loving man and he wasn’t bad on the eyes either,' great-grandniece, family historian and Los Angeles hot chicken chef Kim Prince told Fox News Digital.
Caroline Bridges, Gertrude Claybrook, Mattie Crutcher, Mattie Hicks and Jennie May Patton, each long deceased, are the likely double-crossed lovers who would have been tempted to seek revenge via hot chicken on the insatiable Prince. Purcell, the hot chicken enthusiast and former mayor, believes the final chapter in the Nashville hot chicken story is still to be written. 'The woman who first cooked the chicken, Girlfriend X, is lost to history,' Purcell said.
