Spicy chicken skewers grilled with similar spices used in the famous Nashville Hot Chicken. Make it as hot or mild as you like.
Hot chicken is one of those foods that I'd gladly hop on a plane to eat for lunch and be back in California for bedtime. Good is not a word to describe Nashville Hot Chicken...shoot, awesome doesn't even come close.
So why am I getting all teary eyed when I dream about having orange fingers and a tongue hotter than lava. Because! Because I love spicy and crunchy like these fried chicken breakfast sandwiches or fried chicken sliders.
But we have to stop talking like this because even though my hot chicken skewers are so very very tasty, they're not Hattie B's hot chicken. And that's okay.
My hot chicken is definitely hot but can be altered according to your own taste buds. I used the same spices that are usually used for the original hot chicken, like paprika and cayenne but grilled mine instead of frying it.
I know this might sound sacrilegious to some hot chicken addicts, but in a pinch this works.
Especially when you smother the grilled chicken with a spicy Tabasco butter glaze and take a bite along with a charred baby dill pickle! I'm seriously thinking of creating a post about roasted pickles in the future, ridiculously tasty.
But for now, let the light shine down on these hot chicken skewers. Grill, eat, lick fingers, repeat.
