This Irresistible Oven-Fried Nashville Hot Chicken Recipe Will Spice Up Your Dinner Routine
The down-home classic gets a tasty twist with a crunchy barbecue potato chip crust
Nashville is known for its spicy chicken, and some nights it’s exactly what I dream about for dinner. Short of getting in my car and driving down South to order it, though, there aren’t a lot of takeout options near me that offer this dish. That’s what inspired our test kitchen to come up with this delicious oven-fried Nashville hot chicken recipe. Now I can make it at home to satisfying my craving. You’ll love it, too. Our version is coated in a touch of hot sauce and a lot of barbecue sauce and then topped with barbecue potato chips for a crunchy, flavorful crust.
In just 20 minutes the chicken is prepped and ready to pop in the oven, where it cooks until the inside is tender and juicy, and the outside is nice and crispy. Then all that’s left to do is enjoy every bite! This recipe is such a treat. It’s simple to make, too. Watch our video and see how easy it is.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp. smoked paprika
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp. cayenne pepper sauce, such as Frank’s Red Hot
- 1 (8.5 oz.) pkg. barbecue ridged potato chips, finely chopped, about 4 cups
- 5 lbs. bone-in chicken pieces
- Lime wheels, sliced red chili peppers and fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
PrintHeat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with foil; place rack on top. In medium bowl, mix ½ cup flour and paprika. In separate bowl, mix barbecue sauce, milk and pepper sauce. In another bowl, stir together potato chips and remaining ¼ cup flour.
Coat chicken, one piece at a time, in flour-paprika mixture, shaking off excess. Transfer to barbecue sauce mixture, then in potato chip mixture, pressing to adhere. Place chicken on rack in baking sheet.
Bake until chicken is no longer pink near bones, about 50 min., tenting lightly with foil if browning too quickly. Remove foil for last 5 min. of cooking time to crisp coating. Let stand 5 min. before serving. If desired, garnish with lime wheels, red chili peppers and fresh parsley.
