The annual Nashville Scene’s Hot Chicken Week is Monday, January 26, 2026, through Sunday, February 1, 2026, at a variety of restaurants throughout Nashville. Each participating restaurant will feature an $8 Hot Chicken Week special. Customers can vote for the best traditional, best overall, and most unique dish. This week-long event is a great opportunity to try new restaurants.

Note: Due to Nashville’s latest winter storm, Hot Chicken Week has been extended through Friday, February 6, 2026. Not all locations will continue to offer their $8 special through the extension. Check out the Hot Chicken Week app for the most up-to-date list of participants and their hours of operation.
