KFC Nashville hot or Smoke N Fire chicken Review

Taste: 7/10

Heat: 7/10

KFC recently launched their Nashville hot or Smoke N Fire chicken much to the interest of many locals. KFC is an institution here in Trinidad. With over 40 years and 55 outlets, its safe to say KFC is the leading fast food outlet.

As we've said before, we Caribbean folk love heat. We crave spicy food. With much anticipation and excitement KFC launched their new menu item, Smoke N Fire chicken basically Nashville hot by another name.

Nashville hot has an interesting history, initially made as revenge for a womanizer but ultimately became a popular dish in the US. So much for that..

It's made with Fried chicken doused in a oily and fat laden sauce that's been spiced with cayenne pepper, garlic and other seasonings.  Typically served with pieces of white bread and pickles to sop up that delectable sauce.

Interestingly enough here due to our level of heat requirement we do have a Spicy chicken, seasoned with cayenne with a golden brown crunchy batter. The favourite of many Trinidadians.

So how does this Nashville hot or Smoke N Fire compare. It's our spicy chicken doused in the above sauce. So it's crunch and spicy as we'd expect but with a hit of sweetness and smoked flavor. With the additional sauce its definitely finger licking good.

Spicy chicken lovers here will not notice too much difference, the sweet and smoke is very subtle but no increase in heat to be honest. If your a little health concious it does have additional oil which will add to your caloric indulgence. But if you're lookin for a spicy cheat meal I do recommend. I did add some of my Tabasco chipotle pepper sauce for additional flavor.
