Unique hot chicken concept opens 20th location and celebrates San Diego grand opening with FREE sandwiches, exotic car display and epic Spice Challenge
Houston TX Hot Chicken, known for its quality, never-frozen fried chicken, is turning up the heat in San Diego’s Gaslamp district with a grand opening celebration at 238 Fifth Avenue on Saturday, September 21 from 12pm – 3pm.
To commemorate this special event, attendees can indulge in complimentary Original Hot Chicken Sandwiches and beverages and enjoy a display of unique supercars. Guests can also test the limits with HHC’s “Houston, We Have A Problem” (HWHAP) Spice Challenge Contest*, challenging guests to finish three HWHAP (HHC’s spiciest level) tenders and endure a three-minute cool down (no liquid for three minutes) for a chance to win $1,000!
“We cannot wait to bring our distinct flavors and organic, quality chicken to San Diego,” said Christian & Melissa Couch, the owner of HHC’s San Diego franchise. “We instantly fell in love with the food, the brand, and the vibe, and we knew San Diego would, too. It’s been an exciting journey to bring HHC to one of our favorite cities in the world.”
Operating hours for the San Diego location are from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 am Friday and Saturday. The store marks the brand’s third California restaurant and 20th nationwide.
