If you have a hankering for something spicy, [Boston Market's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotisserie-nuggets) new Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich is sure to hit the spot.

Just as the name suggests, Nashville hot chicken is a fried chicken specialty from Nashville, Tennessee. Boston Market has now taken this regional recipe and put it's own twist on it to create the delicious new Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The sandwich features Boston Market’s [smoky Nashville Hot Sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-boneless-wings), which blends spices like cayenne pepper and chili powder with sugar, garlic, and a few other secret spices. The hot chicken fillet is then served with pickles and ranch dressing on a fluffy brioche bun.

The new Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich is the first crispy chicken sandwich in Boston Market's 30-year history, and will be available for a just limited time.
