Grand Prairie chicken enthusiasts, get ready for a brand-new bird. Urban Bird, a young but thriving chain, is bringing Nashville-style hot chicken to the neighborhood, reports Culture Map Dallas.

The restaurant’s new 4125 South Carrier Parkway #110 storefront will be trading out Mexican cuisine for poultry; the space previously housed Rusty Taco. Urban Bird co-owner Brandon Gawthorp tells What Now Dallas that he anticipates the Grand Prairie restaurant opening in the next 30 days.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Brandon and Chantel Gawthorp, Urban Bird may be a newer comer to the fast-casual poultry scene, but it’s already proven itself to be a worthy contender. Since launching the first location in Katy in 2020, the Gawthorps have opened 16 additional storefronts, with 13 more on the way.

The Urban Bird menu features the expected tenders and sandwiches, however it distinguishes itself by allowing customers to select their heat level. Guests with more sensitive palates might opt for the “country”-or no heat-option, while those with a passion for the picante will want the “fire in the hole!”. The eatery offers 7 levels overall, with plenty of customization available, ensuring diners will never get tired of inventing fresh new meals. Urban Chicken even offers Meatless Beyond Tenders for the vegetarians who want to get in on the action.
