Howlin' Ray's Hot Chicken

Drawing influence from the iconic Husk in Nashville, TN, the Nashville hot chicken spot initially hit the scene as a food truck a few years ago. Today, it has a fixed location inside Chinatown's bustling Far East Plaza. Howlin' Ray's flagship dish is The Sando, yet the Quarter Bird - featuring a leg/breast quarter accompanied by a slice of white bread and garnished with pickles - is the quintessential Nashville hot chicken offering you'd encounter in any hot chicken joint. To make the most of your visit, aim to arrive early when they open; the demand is such that queues can stretch for hours, sometimes up to a staggering 4-hour wait!
