If you are a lover of fried chicken and chicken sandwiches, the last year or so has probably been heaven for you around metro Phoenix. There have been countless chicken restaurants opening up around the area, some locally bred, but many flying in from outside the state. It’s a long way off from when it was difficult to track down chicken wings back during the pandemic. Now, a local chicken shop that opened just a year ago has already connected with the community and has opened a second location, spreading even more fried chicken goodness to hungry patrons.
