Heat Levels at Prince's Hot Chicken Shack South
Plain
Classic fried chicken — all the crunch and flavor, zero burn.
Mild
Light, approachable heat. Nashville's definition of 'mild' is still a notch above most chain restaurants.
Medium
A noticeable, building burn. The sweet spot for most visitors — enough heat to be authentic without being overwhelming.
Hot
Serious, sweat-inducing heat. Locals' territory. Have dairy nearby.
X-Hot
Intense, sustained burn that lingers. Not for the faint of heart.
