Music City Hot Chicken– Fort Collins Colorado

June 30, 2016

I’ve always really enjoyed fried chicken but there was never anywhere to get it in Northern Colorado besides fast food places like Raising Cane’s which has good chicken fingers, but it’s just not the same and KFC which is just KFC. So when I heard this place was opening, I knew for sure I had to try it out.
 
I met a friend here for lunch around 12:30 and the place was still mostly full. You order at the counter right inside the door next to the bar. We moved over to the side and let a few others pass us because I wanted to take a bit of time looking at the menu on the wall. While looking at the menu my friend mentioned that the hot version is actually quite hot, but I figured I’d take my chances. I then ordered the leg quarter combo ($9) which came with one side and sauce and a choice of heat level. I picked French fries and ranch dressing for the sauce and chose to go with the hot version. I also added a fountain drink ($1 50) all prices here include tax. My friend ordered the Hot chicken sandwich ($8.50) So we paid and took our drink cups and our numbers and we found a table. We chatted for a while and soon enough our food came out.
I had a problem with my camera so I used my phone, so it’s not a very good picture.
 
 
The chicken was excellent; perfectly cooked, crispy and really not as greasy as some fried chicken. There was a dry seasoning on the chicken which was definitely hot, but also had some kind of different taste than I think I’ve ever had and it was a tad sweet. This was about as hot as I like to go comfortably, and it definitely got my nose running. My friend said he thought it wasn’t as hot as it was when he was there previously. On top of the chicken were three pickles which I thought were perfect to go with the hot chicken. My fries were kind of different and I wouldn’t even exactly call them fries. They were kind of thick and round and a bit curled but whatever you would call them they were very good and were good dipped in the ranch dressing.
 
Music City Hot Chicken is just what Fort Collins and Northern Colorado needed.  After one trip I can’t wait to return soon to try another version of their chicken maybe the southern kind or the green chili and hopefully I’ll be able to get some better pictures.
