The legend behind hot chicken lays in the story of original owner, Thornton Prince. Passed through generations, this story\u2019s retold now by his great niece, Andre Prince Jeffries, who currently manages the restaurant. According to the story, Prince was a bit of a womanizer and one morning his girlfriend decided to serve him up a little piece of revenge \u2013 an incredibly spicy rendition of her fried chicken dish. Prince allegedly liked it so much that he made his own creation and started dishin\u2019 it out at his restaurant. Now decades later, Prince\u2019s is known to be the <b>best hot chicken in town<\/b>.
