If you have never had Nashville hot chicken, it consists of crispy fried chicken with a hot and spicy glaze that is quite literally irresistible. I love a classic Nashville hot chicken sandwich, but as opposed to using breaded chicken, this version transforms it into a melt, with some pepper jack cheese and an extra creamy texture from the spicy mayo!
This chicken melt recipe was inspired by my many trips to Nashville. While binge-ordering hot chicken from different restaurants, I contemplated ideas on how to use the leftovers. Mixing the spicy chicken with melty cheese and extra sauce was so delicious that I had to take this concept to the grill and refine it! My Nashville hot chicken melt sandwich is easy to make and perfect for those of you who love spicy chicken.
