Haven Hot Chicken Announces Openings in Downtown Fairfield & Oxford CT

 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 two NEW LOCATIONS in Fairfield, CT at 907 Post Road in Oxford, CT at Quarry Walk, later this year. 

When I asked the Haven Hot Chicken team how long it took them to arrive at this just about perfect combination of crispy, juicy and flavorful chicken, they laughed and said they have been recipe testing for over a year. Their tagline is “CRISPY CRUNCHY JUICY SPICY DELICIOUS,” and I’m gonna say “nailed it.” You can truly taste the time and commitment to research in every item on this takeout/delivery menu.

Both locations 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), including the epic and signature “THE Sandwich,” as well as other featured mains, classic sides and seasonal limited-time offerings. 

Jason Sobocinski, President and co-founder, Haven Hot Chicken says.  “Store #008 will bring us to beautiful downtown Fairfield, in a location that’s a quick hop on and off I95, as well as on the outskirts of the Fairfield University campus.  Store #009 will be easily accessible to Routes 67, 8 and I-84, but will bring us to a new type of location that’s a brand-new, vibrant community hub in Oxford combining retail, residential and office space across 30 acres in a New England town-square type setting.  Our Fuego Fam continues to expand, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring the BEST Hot Chicken and Not Chicken to new fans!”

Both locations will offer online ordering with curbside takeout and delivery, limited in-house seating and catering options.  The brand’s mission of helping raise crucial funds to help curb food insecurity in the state of Connecticut through “The Great Banana Pudding Drive,” donating the cost of one meal from the sale of each absurdly delicious banana pudding to the organization, continues with the company’s long-term partnership with Connecticut Foodshare. To date Haven Hot Chicken has helped to raise funds for over 60,000 meals for CT’s residents in need.

The restaurant was highlighted in 2023 as one of the “8 Fast-Food Chains that Serve the Best Hot Chicken” around the country by Eat This, Not That!, and winner of The Perfect Pitch concept competition at the 2023 Fast Casual Executive Summit.  The brand was also recognized as one of the 2024 20 Fast Casual Brands to Watch by FastCasual.com.
