Nashville fried chicken has traveled from its Tennessee roots to pop up on menus across the country. At Legends of Notre Dame, a restaurant and pub on the university’s campus, chef Josh Maron menus the spicy chicken as a sandwich. He tosses a crispy fried chicken breast in housemade Nashville-style hot sauce and layers it on a toasted brioche bun with mayo, lettuce and pickles.
