Haven Hot Chicken Opening in North Haven...With Norwalk Next!

Haven Hot Chicken, which brings Nashville Hot Chicken and “Not Chicken” to the area as one of the first fully dedicated Nashville Hot Chicken concepts in New England, today announced that it will be opening its fourth location in North Haven, Connecticut.  Located at 146 Washington Avenue, the 1200 square foot location will feature the brand’s signature menu of crispy, crunchy, juicy, spicy, delicious chicken and vegetarian options ranging from Country (not spicy) to Haven (extremely spicy), along with their beloved fries, sides and seasonal limited-time offerings.  Having recently celebrated the second anniversary of its first location in New Haven, Haven Hot Chicken opened its Orange location in June 2022, and will be opening soon in Norwalk, CT.

“We are so excited to expand our footprint in New Haven County – where Haven Hot Chicken was born!,” said Etkin Tekin, co-founder, Haven Hot Chicken.  “This location offers such easy access off of I-91 in an area where so many of our loyal guests are often out running errands, or heading to or from work, offering a quick stop for lunch, dinner or a snack!  As we look to now have four locations up and running in early 2023, our entire team is grateful for the continued support of our ‘fuego fam’ community.”

The North Haven location will offer online order with curbside takeout and UberEats delivery, as well as limited seating for quick, in-house dining.  It will also be a part of the brand’s long-term partnership with Connecticut Foodshare, raising crucial funds to help curb food insecurity in the state of Connecticut through “The Great Banana Pudding Drive,” donating $1 from the sale of each banana pudding to the organization. 

The restaurant’s signature item was voted “Best Chicken Sandwich” in Connecticut Magazine’s annual Readers Poll in 2021.
