For those unfamiliar, [Nashville hot chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-menu-items) is a Nashville-specific take on fried chicken. The dish usually consists of a chicken breast, thigh, or wing that's been marinated with a blend of seasoning, before it's floured, fried, and topped with a paste spiced with cayenne pepper. Now you can sample this tasty dish at your local Wayback Burgers location for a limited time. The chain's version consists of a crispy breaded chicken filet coated in Nashville Hot Sauce and topped with [sliced pickles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-pickle-bacon-burger). The new Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich can be found at participating locations now through September 9, 2022.
