Hardee's brings Nashville hot chicken sandwiches and tenders to its menus

Hardee's introduced its new Nashville hot chicken products Wednesday.

The Tennessee-based chain announced its eateries will now be offering Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwiches, Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders, and Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuits.

Hot chicken products are now a permanent fixture on Hardee's menus, and available at participating locations.

Hot chicken, a Nashville specialty, is chicken that is usually marinated, fried and then doused in a cayenne pepper-based sauce. The dish is famous for its red hue.

"While there's a nod to our Tennessee headquarters, we know guests across the country will love this new flavor."
