Spicy Chicken Sliders

This Chicken Waffle Slider Recipe Reinterprets Nashville Hot Chicken

— July 6, 2015 — Lifestyle
This hot chicken waffle slider recipe is the perfect way to celebrate National Fried Chicken Day today. From the food blog Southern Fatty, the sandwiches are an excellent example of southern comfort food -- with a small twist.

Nashville-style hot chicken is hot just referring to the temperature of the meat, but of the spice factor. The local dish is best enjoyed by those who "have a home in the city to run back to so they have access to an outdoor hose to cool off with." With this homemade recipe, you are in even closer proximity to a hose and can also enjoy an authentic taste without having to make a trip to Tennessee.

The chicken waffle slider is sandwiched between waffles and is topped with tomato, lettuce, pickles, plain yogurt, salt, garlic and dill.
Trend Themes
1. Hot Chicken Trend - Innovative variations of hot chicken dishes are gaining popularity, presenting opportunities for new spice-infused menu items and sauces.
2. Southern Comfort Food Trend - The demand for modern twists on classic southern dishes opens up avenues for creative reinterpretations that capture the essence of comfort food.
3. Homemade Recipe Trend - The increasing popularity of homemade recipes calls for convenient and accessible meal kits or pre-packaged ingredients that simplify the cooking process.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage Industry - Restaurants, food trucks, and food delivery services can take advantage of the hot chicken trend by offering new and unique spicy chicken dishes.
2. Fast Food Industry - Fast food chains, especially those specializing in comfort food, have the opportunity to introduce hot chicken sliders to cater to the demand for southern-inspired menu items.
3. Meal Kit Industry - Meal kit companies can tap into the homemade recipe trend by providing pre-measured ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions for creating hot chicken waffle sliders at home.
