Prince had to stand by and watch outsiders capitalize on her family’s recipe as she struggled for years to find the financial backing for her own venture. Today, the “hot chicken” label can be found on the menus of KFC and Panda Express, as well as a slew of restaurants and food trucks in cities across the country. But word began to spread in 2011, when Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack was featured on TravelChannel’s Man v Food Nation and then was presented with a James Beard award honoring restaurants that serve timeless regional cuisine in 2013. Marinated in spices hot enough to drain the sinuses, her family’s hot chicken has been a local tradition since the 1930s.
