What to Order

Signature Hot Chicken Sandwich

A perfectly crisp breast fillet, brushed with your choice of heat, stacked on a soft bun with pickles and a cooling slaw.

Classic Tenders

Juicy, hand-breaded strips served with house dipping sauces—tender on the inside, addictive crunch on the outside.

Wing Flight

A three-heat sampler of wings so you can taste the spectrum from mild citrus to full-on Nashville burn.
