We don't take Nashville Hot Chicken's illustrious history lightly. What began as a wife's vengeance on an unfaithful husband decades ago has turned into a worldwide craze. Without the Founding Feather…
This is the crispiest, tastiest chicken that I have had in Nashville. The boneless chicken thigh is everything! They give you so much food that you have enough for a late-night snack or another meal. I love Pepperfire!

Maybe it was an off night.. but when I've had Pepperfire tenders in the past, they were large and actually hot - these were not. For the price, I feel like the portions would be larger (especially when comparing to Hattie B's ). Regardless, it still tasted good, just not a lot of food for $18 (3 jumbo tenders).

Their Tender Royale is superb option, the tenders are huge as well as fresh. The Sparkplug brings the heat and FLAVOR! Ordered it numerous times and will continue ordering it again.

oh my goodness this chicken is amazing! even for being doordashed, it was hot and juicy. the spice was amaging, I got Hot Rod for the Hot Chicken Sandwich (Tenders) and the next levelup as a single tender to try the heat level. unfortunately at that point I was too full for the fries, but I tried a couple and they were great with the seasoning. highly recommend!

The 3 Jumbo Tenders were pretty good , but it would be nice if they would give you more than 2 pickles and one slice of bread. The banana pudding was the worst I've ever had. It tasted like mostly boxed pudding mix and there was only one slice of banana in it. Do yourself a favor and order a different side item. Also their ranch is definitely not homemade. In my opinion only homemade ranch is good.
