Birdies Hot Chicken
About
Birdies Hot Chicken serves Nashville-style hot chicken in downtown Boston, with hand-breaded tenders, sliders, spicy sandwiches, chicken quarters and loaded fries. Heat comes in levels from mild up to a top tier so hot that customers sign a waiver to order it, and one reviewer notes that even the habanero level has real kick. Tenders come over sliced bread with pickles and a side of Birdies sauce, and sides include mac and cheese and cornbread.
The business grew out of a 2018 weekend trip to Nashville, where founder Vivian, a self-described foodie, had her first taste of hot chicken and decided to create her own version. Back home she bought a fryer despite limited frying experience and spent years hosting test kitchens for friends and family, frying chicken on her third-floor apartment deck. Her mission is to share her version of Nashville hot chicken with everyone.
