Bring Legendary Hot Chicken Home
Turn an emerging Southern fast-casual concept into your next successful franchise.
Brand overview
The Budlong Southern Chicken brings the spirit of rock and the soul of Southern homestyle cooking to life. Founded in 2016 in downtown Chicago, this fast-casual Nashville Hot chicken franchise defies the status quo of uninspiring chicken joints. The menu features chef-inspired, made-from-scratch Southern flavors crafted in collaboration with world-renowned Chef Robert Kabakoff and Craveworthy Brands' VP of Culinary and Menu Innovation, Becca McIntyre. From Nashville-inspired hot chicken sandwiches and hand-battered jumbo tenders to scratch-made sides and house-made Banana Pudding, every item is designed to electrify tastebuds.
