TikTok’s hottest chicken is coming to San Diego. LA-based brand The Red Chickz is opening a red-hot restaurant at The Shoppes at Carlsbad later this summer.

If you want to know why everyone is clucking about this hot chicken, you can check out its TikTok where it’s amassed 1.2 million followers. The brand — and its fans — claims its Nashville-style hot chicken is the “crunchiest,” and you can choose your heat level ranging from mild to “insane.”

Plus, you can spice up your order with offerings that go beyond chicken tenders. The menu features options like spicy jumbo shrimp, a french toast chicken sandwich, and a spicy chicken taco.
