The Original Hot Chicken Opens First California Location

Launched by Atlanta-based Experiential Brands, The Original Hot Chicken will bring Southern comfort and spice to the Golden State.

“We could not be more excited to open our first California location of The Original Hot Chicken and bring our fantastic flavors to the West Coast,” said Aziz Hashim, Founder of Experiential Brands and managing partner of NRD Capital. “Our pickle-brined and cornflake-rolled chicken is the perfect meal to grab on the go, enjoy at the beach, or at one of our outdoor dining tables.”

Taking advantage of the sunny California days, the Huntington Park location is a drive-thru and walk-up window-only establishment. Six outdoor tables allow guests to soak up the sun and Southern comfort. With late-night hours, consumers don’t have to sleep on their Nashville-style hot chicken cravings.

The Original Hot Chicken is the perfect dining spot for anyone wanting a taste of Nashville. The menu is built around jumbo chicken tenderloins, marinated in pickle brine and rolled in cornflakes. Served as chicken sandwiches, tender basket, and Nashville chicken tacos, there’s a choice for everyone. Available in a variety of heat levels from no heat to extra hot, along with wings, fries, hand-spun shakes, slushies, and more, round out the Southern menu.

Located at 3234 E Florence Ave, the hours of operations are Sunday – Thursday 10am-11pm; Friday – Saturday 10am-1am. Digital and online ordering is available.

The Original Hot Chicken has locations in Georgia, Ohio, Texas.
