Colorado: Music City Hot Chicken

Colorado’s college town of Fort Collins boasts Music City Hot Chicken, a lively restaurant and bar that transports taste buds straight to Nashville. Customers flock here for the live music vibes and, of course, the excellent fried chicken dishes. The menu lets you customize your bird: opt for classic Southern style or dial up through heat levels from “Hot” (for a bit of burn) to “Nashville Hot” (bigger burn) all the way to “White Hot,” which is branded as incendiary. Whether you get your chicken in a basket, on a waffle, or piled in a sandwich with coleslaw and house sauce, it comes out perfectly crispy outside and juicy inside. All the sides and sauces are made from scratch, and fans especially love the potato salad with egg and bacon and the sweet potato fries. The combination of fiery chicken, cold craft beers, and sometimes live bands playing makes Music City Hot Chicken a hot spot – literally and figuratively – in Colorado.
