Shaquille O’Neal is bringing his Big Chicken to NJ
New Jersey native Shaquille O’Neal is bringing his wildly popular Big Chicken to his home state.
According to Daily Voice the chain is planning at least six Garden State locations with the first planned for Middlesex Borough.
Franchise Wire says that one is coming to the AC Airport in Egg Harbor in September.
As the name implies, the star of the show is chicken. Big Chicken offers all manner of chicken sandwiches, ranging from the Big Aristotle, the Uncle Jerome, the Big & Sloppy, the Shaq Attack, and several others, and they’re all BIG.
Some of the popular menu items include (from the website)
Chicken Sandwich: This is the signature dish at Big Chicken. It is made with a crispy chicken breast that is topped with cheese, bacon, and a special Big Chicken sauce.
Tenders: These are made with all-white meat chicken that is hand-breaded and fried to perfection.
Wings: These are made with all-white meat chicken that is tossed in your choice of sauce.
Nuggets: These are made with all-white meat chicken that is crispy and flavorful.
Fries: These are made with fresh potatoes that are cut and fried to order.
Mac and Cheese: This is a classic comfort food that is made with elbow macaroni and a creamy cheese sauce.
Coleslaw: This is a refreshing side dish that is made with cabbage, carrots, and a creamy dressing.
A company spokeswoman told the Daily Voice that they’re not sure when all the New Jersey restaurants will be up and running:
"The franchisees are still in negotiations," she said. "We currently do not have a timeline for opening, and will know more when individual leases are signed for each location."
