The Texas Pete® Innovation Kitchen has helped chains overcome the biggest hurdle in adding a Nashville Hot Chicken to their menu by reducing the number of ingredients necessary down to just four ingredients in the panty from a typical list of more than 10 ingredients. They’ve made it even easier with a 32-second video to show how it’s done with two of the ingredients being Texas Pete® Dust Dry Seasoning and Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce.

The simplification of trend-worthy recipes for new menu items is at the heart of a growing collection of Texas Pete® Simple As recipe ideas. The entire collection involves recipes of five or fewer ingredients that can be prepared in less than 10 minutes in batches of up to 100 servings. A similar collection of easy-to-prep signature sauce recipes can also be found in the Simple As Collection.
