Born as a secret “restaurant-within-a-restaurant” in 2020, the Chicken Shack limited time menu at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que makes a savory return on Thursday, July 13. Now an annual and much-anticipated seasonal element of Lucille’s mouthwatering array of Southern-style food offerings, the Chicken Shack menu will be available for a limited time.
With an emphasis on high-quality ingredients and culinary craftsmanship, the curated chicken dishes and complementing appetizers, premium sides and Southern-perfection dessert, can be enjoyed at each of Lucille’s 21 restaurants in California, Arizona and Nevada, or can be ordered online at Lucillesbbq.com for takeout or delivery.
This year’s Chicken Shack menu has been created by Chef Haim Asher, Lucille’s Director of Culinary, who previously worked with James Beard Award-winning chefs and at some of the country’s best full-service, Michelin-rated restaurants. Asher, who hails from South Carolina, has infused his authentic Southern roots into every menu item on the Chicken Shack menu.
“We know how much our guests anticipate the return of our Chicken Shack offerings each year,” said Asher. “This year, the menu includes several fan favorites and new savory, crave-worthy dishes that will satisfy everyone’s appetite for Southern-inspired food. Featuring smoked, crispy and juicy Fried Chicken, Fried Green Tomato Tostadas and more, this menu offers many delicious choices! While Chicken Shack originated as a secret menu four years ago, it has now evolved to take its rightful place each summer at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que.”
