Be warned (or be brave), the level five heat level is a slow creep.
Competition is stiff these days on the local Nashville hot chicken scene. From 2 Neighbors to Palmer’s to Hattie B’s, and all in between, standing out is no easy feat. And now we have another worthy contender to add to the league of North Texas hot chicken pushers:In the corner of a shopping plaza at the intersection of Coit Road and Spring Creek Parkway, Sal’s specializes in Nashville-style spiced birds in the form of chicken sandwiches, jumbo tenders and traditional fried chicken.
An intelligent person would judiciously work their way up the spice ladder. We, however, apparently aren't that. Haphazardly, we jumped straight to level five on the Nashville sandwich. Because why not?Initially, the heat didn’t seem all that daunting. But have you ever seen a boxer take a decent shot on the chin, shrug it off and then taunt their opponent, “That all you got?” Only to be stunned and staggered by a mean right hook later that same round? That was us.
Still recovering from the punch we took from the Nashville Sandwich, we went medium heat this time, which toes the line adeptly between showcasing the flavor and still generating an obvious kick.
