Fort Collins' brunch crossover: Nashville-style fried chicken over waffles, run at weekend service with heat levels from Southern mild to Flammable Solid.
Where to eat it: 1 restaurant across 1 city.
Chicken and waffles arrived in Fort Collins with the hot-chicken wave rather than through Southern roots, and Music City Hot Chicken made it a weekend institution on Prospect Road. The shop runs a ladder of heat levels across its menu, from plain Southern to the Flammable Solid dare, and brunch service pairs the fried bird with waffles and syrup so sweetness can argue with cayenne. It is a college town's dish: loud, cheap for what it is, and engineered for a Saturday morning after a Friday night.

Tip from the editors. The heat lives in the oil paste, not the dredge; scale the cayenne there and the crust stays consistent at any spice level.
