The Las Vegas-Based Chicken Chain That Will Be Everywhere In 2026
Unseating Chick-fil-A, the top-selling chicken chain in America , might seem like an impossible task. However, there is an up-and-coming Las Vegas-based chicken restaurant poised to take the country by storm and possibly give industry leaders a run for their money. With just 29 locations in nine states (Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, California, Idaho, Washington, Michigan, and Ohio), Houston TX Hot Chicken has yet to reach household name status. However, the restaurant has recently received an enviable honor, as it was named first place in Restaurant Business's Future 50 list, which shines a light on smaller food establishments growing at an impressive rate.
Houston TX Hot Chicken may not have originated in Texas
