LOADED HOT CHICKEN WEDGES! 🔥 @richardssouthernfried is taking the Nashville hot chicken wave into new territory with a version that features cheesey, loaded potato wedges! This is the kind of spicy Southern hospitality that #Foodbeast @marckharrat & @reachguinto enjoyed while in Atlanta! That action’s got tender and fiery fried chicken loaded with spicy queso, jalapeños & a cooling dollop of sour cream, and we’re all about it! 🤤🥵🐔🍟

The South can’t possibly ever get fried chicken wrong. It’s fact further strengthened by the things they’re doing over at Richard’s Southern Fried in Atlanta, Georgia. There, expect a bird that’s marinated in a special spiced brine anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, depending on its size. A number of their spices are even ground fresh in house to ensure freshness and peak flavor.

Factor in them winning best chicken & waffles and best chicken sandwich in Atlanta and you get an idea of just how good their hot chicken is.

While on a quick trip to the ATL, we stumbled upon some deliciousness they’re serving up that we simply couldn’t ignore: hot chicken loaded potato wedges drenched in a spicy queso and topped with a cooling crown of sour cream. The description itself is a mouthful and so is the dish itself — not that we’re complaining. It’s definitely a worthy switch-up from the typical iterations of hot chicken that have been dominating our IG feeds lately.
