Spiceology’s Nashville Hot Chicken Dip

The flavor and heat of traditional Nashville Hot Chicken conjures up plenty of images and sensations; steaming dishes of drumsticks and legs with that fried red color and unmistakable scent, a warm breeze moving through an outdoor dining area filled with friends and family, that first crispy and savory bite as the pepper spice takes hold, and of course that first sip follow-up to cool things down a little.

This appetizer dish uses Spiceology’s Nashville Hot Chicken spice crafted to perfection for any palette with some local culinary experts. The blend has a little bit of sweetness that goes perfectly with the pepper spice and herbs to really bring your dishes to life. This recipe will be a big hit at your next get together, but the best part about it is, it’s very easy to make!

It’s easy to make, because a great way to trim preparation and cooking time off, is by using a rotisserie chicken that’s already been cooked. The step that takes the longest might actually just be getting your smoker up to temperature. So let’s get started.
