As the hot chicken craze continues to heat up, a popular Philadelphia spot is opening another location.

OMG Hot Chicken, owned by Amjad Islam, is slated to open soon at 1880 John F. Kennedy Blvd., according to the Center City Retail Report.

The chicken joint operates three Philadelphia locations and one in New Jersey and plans to expand internationally, with an upcoming outpost in Pakistan.

OMG Hot Chicken serves classic Nashville hot chicken sandwiches and sliders with signature waffle fries, along with chicken tenders, wraps and buffalo wings. To cool the heat, the shop also offers fruit smoothies and desserts, including cheesecake, banana pudding and cookies.

“Our commitment to excellence is evident in every bite of our signature hot chicken, marinated in a secret blend of spices that tantalize the senses and leave a lasting impression. With a dedication to quality ingredients and impeccable service, OMG Hot Chicken has established itself as a premier destination for food enthusiasts looking to indulge in a fiery and unforgettable culinary adventure,” the website reads.

OMG Hot Chicken has not announced an official opening date, but customers can visit the restaurant’s website and follow along on Facebook for updates.
