Hot chicken has become a Nashville staple and something for which the city is known.

Brown was recently in town for his Eat Your Science tour at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. 

After a blind taste test, Brown said the dish lives up to its name. He posted the clip on his Facebook page.

“Wow. Wow. Wow, that's hot,” he said. “Holy smokes that’s hot chicken.”
