About Red's Hot Chicken

Red's Hot Chicken is a walk-up hot chicken counter in Midtown Nashville, near Centennial Park and Vanderbilt, serving crispy tenders, sandwiches, and creative combinations like a hot chicken mac and cheese crunch wrap. It draws a steady lunch crowd, so ordering online for pickup is the easiest way to skip the line.

What I Ordered

The Hot Chicken Mac & Cheese Crunch Wrap, no pickles, with a side of seasoned fries and ranch.
