Two words: chicken skin. Aka cracklins! If you're a fan - you're a big fan. Because there's nothing quite like the crispy, crunchy, salty, savory deliciousness that it perfectly done chicken skin cracklins. Our chefs took this classic snacky appetizer to a next level by adding Spiceology Nashville Hot. Not familiar with our Nashville Hot signature blend? Its slightly sweet with a spicy kick that features Chili Powder, Paprika, Garlic, Onion, Cayenne Pepper, Smoked Paprika and more.
