ABOUT

The Chicken Shop's menu centers around delicious, organic-fed, antibiotic and hormone-free charcoal-roasted chicken, available either on its own, served in a bowl, or wrapped in pita. Chickens are slow-roasted on the rotisserie using South American Quebracho Blanco hardwood, an unparalleled charcoal that brings out a natural smoke flavor while withstanding exceptionally high heat. Alongside the charcoal-roasted chicken, offerings include a vegan-friendly brined & charcoal-roasted portobello mushroom, craveable garlicky za'atar fries, local veggie sides, a hand-selected assortment of craft beers, a thoughtful retail area, and more.

The Chicken Shop was Founded by Fred Taouk, who brings nearly a decade of experience spearheading operations for San Francisco's Soma Restaurant Group to Newport Beach;

"We're excited to introduce this childhood staple from Australia to Southern California," explains Taouk. "The charcoal-roasted technique is a different and delicious take on a classic, and we're looking forward to bringing a new go-to lunch or dinner option to the neighborhood. No frills, no fuss; just the simple, fresh, everyday food we want to eat together with our families."
