Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken is getting in on the Nashville Hot flavor craze with the introduction of its Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, according to a press release.
The sandwich has a five-ounce chicken filet flavored with spices and chili peppers used to create Lee’s take on the Nashville Hot movement.
“We’re excited for Lee’s franchise locations and company stores to offer this popular, spice-forward sandwich as an LTO to famous fans no matter how far away they are from Nashville,” Ryan Weaver, Lee’s Famous Recipe CEO, said in the press release. “More than a dozen Lee’s locations served as test markets for the product, and it’s been really well received.”
“Lee’s chicken sandwich was so popular when it was introduced, we knew offering flavor variations would be our next step in keeping the menu fresh for longtime and new fans,” Dan Sokolik, Lee’s VP of marketing, said in the press release. “Lee’s Nashville Hot is our way of drawing inspiration from a city that knows a thing or two about big flair and big flavor.”
Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken has more than 130 locations in 12 U.S. states and in Canada.
