Hot chicken is great if you like dry rubs, but for the saucier personalities among us, it can sometimes seem overrated. Enter McDougal’s, a flavorful oasis in a dry rub town that provides the city delicious sauces to dunk or toss our chicken in. It’s got a solid, basic barbecue sauce plus one with a citrus chipotle twist. The Buffalo sauce is exemplary, and it has an unusual yet deliciously sweet counterpart — HoneyBee. Tearjerker is the hottest, and it’s not the spiciest in Nashville, but hey, McDougals isn’t hot chicken, and it’s not trying to be. There’s also Gold, a sauce worthy of its name that tastes like the marriage of honey mustard and Buffalo sauce. No matter what flavor you choose, the sauce floweth generously at McDougal’s.
