Hattie B's Hot Chicken has created Nashville Hot chicken chips in partnership with keto-friendly Flock Chicken Chips, a subsidiary of The Naked Market based in San Francisco.

"Hattie B's has built an iconic brand around the best fried chicken in America, so the ability to combine the signature flavors of this legendary establishment with our innovative product delivers a home run snack experience. Not to mention, it's my favorite restaurant in the country," Harrison Fugman, Flock Foods CEO, said in a company press release.

"After growing 3,300% during our first year operating Flock, we couldn't be happier to bring our customers their most requested flavor with this best-in-class partner," Jake Drwal, Flock Foods VP of operations, added.

Hattie B's and Flock Chicken first connected through Instagram during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic and spent six months crafting the chips.

"We're both crazy about Southern fried chicken," Brian Morris, Hattie B's executive chef and vice president of culinary, learning and development, said in the release. I can't believe how much flavor and punch we packed into this healthy snack, and I'm thrilled to welcome folks from around the country to the Hattie B's family — cheat day or not."

Operated by father-and-son team Nick Bishop and Nick Bishop Jr., Hattie B's is headquartered in Nashville with locations in Birmingham, Memphis, Atlanta and Las Vegas.

Hattie B's Flock Chips are available nationwide on flockfoods.com.
