KFC is giving the lesser-known Nashvilles of America some love. To promote its new menu item, a food truck is bringing KFC Nashville Hot Chicken to eight different non-Tennessee Nashvilles before its national debut. The tour begins on January 7th.
Incidentally, none of the Nashvilles to be graced with the food truck have brick-and-mortar KFCs of their own. Here’s a tour schedule.
Nashville Village, OH: Jan. 7
Nashville Village, MI: Jan. 8
Nashville, IN: Jan. 10
Nashville, IL: Jan. 11
Nashville Town, WI: Jan. 12
Nashville Township, MN: Jan. 14
Nashville City, KS: Jan. 16
Nashville Town, NC: Jan. 20
More importantly, what is Nashville Hot Chicken, anyway? It’s a style of fried chicken that’s been around for decades, not an invention of KFC. And Nashville Hot Chicken happens to be Tennessee’s entry in our epic 50 States of Fried Chicken list, so take a peek to learn more about hot chicken’s background.
