TL;DR
Angry Chickz is opening its 34th location in California and 39th systemwide in Chino. The brand is expanding its presence in the state with its signature Nashville hot chicken concept.
Angry Chickz is bringing the heat to Chino. The fast-growing Nashville hot chicken brand will open its first location in the city on June 5 at 16287 Main St., Suite 150, marking its 34th restaurant in California and 39th systemwide.
The Chino restaurant introduces Angry Chickz’s signature approach to Nashville hot chicken, including bold flavor, customizable heat levels and a menu built for repeat cravings.
Known for its made-to-order tenders, sliders and bowls, Angry Chickz lets guests choose from six heat levels ranging from “Country” (no heat) to the brand’s notoriously intense “Angry” level, which is so hot it requires a signed waiver. Standout items include crispy chicken tenders and sliders, along with indulgent favorites like the Angry Mac, featuring tenders served over fries layered with creamy mac and cheese.
“Chino is a vibrant community that continues to grow, and that’s exactly where we want to be,” said David Mkhitaryan, founder and CEO of Angry Chickz. “This restaurant is about more than great food. It’s about bringing the same bold flavor, energy, and hospitality our guests know and love to a community we’re excited to serve.”
As part of its expansion, the Chino location will focus on hiring a team that reflects the community and delivers the high-energy, guest-first experience the brand is known for. To learn more about Angry Chickz or to view open roles and the menu, visit AngryChickz.com.
