Novi Welcomes Houston TX Hot Chicken for a Spicy Treat!
This Saturday, the food scene in Novi is about to get a whole lot spicier! Fast-casual chicken chain Houston TX Hot Chicken, affectionately known by fans as HHC, is all set to open its doors for the second time in metro Detroit. Their first location in Sterling Heights has already generated buzz, but now they’re ready to bring the fun to Novi with a grand opening that food lovers won’t want to miss.
Get Ready for the Grand Opening
The grand opening festivities will kick off at noon and run until 3 p.m. at their new spot located at 43339 Crescent Blvd, right in the heart of the Novi Town Center. The excitement builds even more as the first 250 people in line will be treated to complimentary food! So get there early, and who knows, you might be one of the lucky ones to score some delicious goodies!
Spicy Challenges Await
If you’re a fan of challenges, you’re in for a treat! HHC’s HWHAP (Houston We Have a Problem) Spice Challenge is ready to test your spice tolerance. Brave food enthusiasts can step up to the challenge with a chance to win a jaw-dropping $1,000! The contest is all about finishing three of their spiciest tenders. It’s not just a meal; it’s an adrenaline-packed experience!
Exotic Car Meet
But that’s not all! Car enthusiasts can also expect an exotic car meet during the grand opening. Imagine a vibrant scene filled with stunning vehicles while you munch on some hot chicken. What could be better than indulging your taste buds while feasting your eyes on some sleek rides?
What’s Cooking at HHC?
Now let’s talk about what makes Houston TX Hot Chicken so special. They specialize in the famous Nashville-style hot chicken and pride themselves on quality. Their chicken is halal, organic, and best of all, it’s never frozen, antibiotic-free, and hormone-free.
The star of the show? Their signature chicken sandwiches served on a fluffy brioche bun, accompanied by their house sauce, crunchy pickles, and crunchy slaw, all with a side of crinkle-cut fries. If you’re in the mood for tenders instead, they offer those too—served with the same great sauces, including a mouthwatering house-made Caesar.
Menu Highlights
Ready to dig into the menu? The classic hot chicken sandwich runs for $15.99 and comes heaped with pickles and house sauce along with those irresistible fries. Plus, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can select from different spice levels – from no spice to mild and right up to their infamous Houston We Have a Problem (HWHAP), which requires a waiver due to its fiery heat! Spice levels go from zero to a staggering 600,000 Scoville Heat Units, or even a whopping two million for the bravest of the brave!
What’s Next for HHC?
As if one new location isn’t enough, HHC is eyeing even more growth! Following their Novi opening, they’ve also announced plans for a Troy location, which is currently under construction and expected to open by the end of the year. Founded in 2021, this exciting chain already has roots in several states, including Texas, California, Arizona, and more.
