Andrew Rea travels to Nashville to taste-test the iconic hot chicken at Princes (the originators) and Hattie B's before returning to his kitchen to craft his own version with a buttermilk brine, double-fried crust, and jerk-spiced pickles. Native Nashvillians blind-taste all three and rank Andrew's homemade chicken #1, beating both legendary institutions.
