What is Hot Birds?
Hot Birds is a spicy creation from Amin and Ashraf, two childhood friends who are now bringing hot chicken right here to Knoxville, TN. It’s new, its spicy, and we think you’ll love it.
We’re starting out small, with the perfect hot chicken sandwich and a side of fries. We can’t wait for you to try it!
Who came up with this?
Amin and Ashraf have never been afraid of a little heat! Growing up in New York, they developed an appetite for flavor that couldn’t be satisfied. So they headed down south on a whim, trading concrete for rolling hills, in search of adventure and the perfect bite.
After a quest for the perfect blend of spices and the ultimate juicy, crispy bird, Hot Birds was born. At their sizzling hot chicken joint, Amin and Ashraf are serving up their Nashville-inspired Hot Birds recipe that’s sure to satisfy any big city appetite. The bold and the brave are welcome!
