Hardee's introduced its new Nashville hot chicken products Wednesday.
The Tennessee-based chain announced its eateries will now be offering Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwiches, Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders, and Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuits.
Hot chicken products are now a permanent fixture on Hardee's menus, and available at participating locations.
Hot chicken, a Nashville specialty, is chicken that is usually marinated, fried and then doused in a cayenne pepper-based sauce. The dish is famous for its red hue.
