Hot chicken sandwich trends continue to thrive in fast-food and fast-casual restaurant circles, with KFC, Burger King, Popeyes all adding new spicy options to their menus this year; as well as multiple Nashville-style eateries opening multiple locations like Dave's Hot Chicken and Crimson Coward Hot Chicken. Now hck hot chicken has entered Northern Virginia with their debut location opening up in Herndon.
hck hot chicken franchise was established by Mike and Anthony Sarago, along with Frederic Gilmore - an experienced Navy veteran with culinary training gained during his nearly 14 years in service - in 2020. Their motto is 'Unity Through Food,' hoping to unite military members from throughout their region through its flavor-packed menu.
HCK offers their signature Nashville style chicken sandwich on a toasted potato bun topped with GOOD Sauce, pickles and house-fried chicken. In addition, they provide chicken tenders, country chicken salad, Loaded Fries with Fried Krinkle Kut Pickles as well as both bone-in and boneless wings along with side dishes such as mac and cheese, fries or cooling cole slaw for cooling off afterwards. Combo meals that pair a main with drinks and sides are also offered.
Herndon Heck is located within the Village Center at Dulles shopping plaza on Centreville Road near Taco Bamba's new location that opened this summer. At 1700 square feet, Herndon hck offers dine-in seating as well as online ordering for pickup or delivery through third party partners and catering. Franchise owner Abraham Rizek hails from Buffalo but relocated 16 years ago to Greenville NC - his franchise owner being Abraham himself!
