On December 9, HCK Hot Chicken joyously inaugurates its first Tampa location

To honor the occasion sandwiches will be just $5 all day long.

Tampa Bay has experienced significant growth in the spicy chicken scene over the past year, and one more innovative concept is set to make its debut before the close of 2023.

HCK Hot Chicken, a fast-casual restaurant chain (abbreviated for Hot Chicken Kitchen), is gearing up for the grand opening of its inaugural Tampa location at 3343 S Westshore Blvd. on Saturday, December 9.

Doors to the new establishment swing open at 11 a.m., with sandwiches available for just $5 throughout the day. The first 23 individuals in line will receive a complimentary sandwich. Additionally, HCK is offering a chance to win free sandwiches for a whole year to one fortunate winner. To participate in this enticing offer, individuals interested in a year’s supply of sammys must register online.

True to its name, the Virginia-based chain focuses on crafting made-to-order Nashville-style chicken tendies and sandwiches, all prepared with 100% certified halal chicken. The menu extends beyond just the chicken-centric offerings and includes loaded fries, salads, fried pickles, wings, mac and cheese, and waffles.

In the previous year, HCK made its debut in Florida with the opening of its first location in Sarasota. Alongside this, the chain unveiled ambitious plans to establish 200 new locations across the country.
