The Denver Post ran a spring bracket challenge for Denver’s Best Hot Chicken Sandwich, with over 32 restaurants all along the Front Range of Colorado participating. The race pitted us against some other local spicy favorites, as well as national chains, and the community came out in support of deliciousness AND locally-owned. After weeks of voting, we are thrilled to have been chosen for this honor by our Longmont community and beyond! In the end it was a tight race between Longmont’s 300 Suns Brewing and national chain, Dave’s Hot Chicken. We are proud to have taken the title proving Colorado truly supports and loves it’s local businesses.

“It’s a true David and Goliath story … only Goliath is Dave so that’s confusing but, hey, we wanna say thank you to all the customers, friends, new customers, fellow businesses and their staff, teams, organizations, and our team for voting, and Chef Nate Say,” said 300 Suns owner, Jean Ditslear.

At 300 Suns Brewing, our Nashville Hot Chicken is a labor of love, crafted in-house and available as tenders or a sandwich, in four different heat levels – CLASSIC, HABAÑERO, POULTRYGEIST and THE REAPER. We recommend starting with the Classic and working your way up with each visit. Brave enough to conquer The Reaper? You’ll earn some serious bragging rights—and a special “I Survived The Reaper” sticker to prove it! Pair it with an IPA to stand up to the heat or a lighter lager to cool off the heat, and don’t forget to ask for some ice cream (or a beer float) to help tame your taste buds.

Our special blend of spice for our Nashville Hot is not a sauce. We take it crispy, juicy and hot out of the fryer and toss it in the spices to coat. Chef Nate got his authentic recipe straight out of Nashville.

“To get to the championship, 300 Suns … had to knock off some mighty competition, including Blazing Bird, which beat out top contender Music City Hot Chicken, as well as Lea Jane’s , Republik of Chicken and Colorado Plus Brew Pub.” (Denver Post, April 5, 2023.)

Did you know? The origins of Nashville hot chicken trace back to the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression, and a man named Thornton Prince. Tall, handsome and known for his charming ways, Thornton was a philanderer. The story goes that after one particularly questionable night out, a scorned girlfriend decided to teach him a lesson by cooking his beloved fried chicken. No one knows what all she actually used but it is believed she coated it with what she thought was with an inedible amount of cayenne pepper. But instead of the fiery punishment she intended, Prince ended up loving the bold, spicy flavor. He served it to his brothers and they loved it too. That unexpected twist led him to opening his own restaurant, Prince’s, where he began serving up the now-iconic dish to the public.
