OMG Hot Chicken is a newer Philadelphia based Nashville Hot Chicken restaurant with plans for multiple locations in the Philadelphia area, including Pennsauken NJ.
The team behind the new Hot Chicken restaurant based their branding on their chicken being so good, when you taste it you’ll say “OMG, that chicken is delicious!”
The upcoming New Jersey location for OMG Hot Chicken is a freestanding building on Route 130 in front of the Supremo Food Market. This is the commercial area between Cooper River Park and the Airport Circle. Most recently the building was home to JZ’s Fish Wing restaurant but for many years it was a KFC location.
Nashville Hot Chicken is a fast growing popular restaurant style featuring fresh chicken tenders that are coated with a spicier batter and fried, typically served with a house special sauce. Preparation options usually are as a chicken tender, which can be made into a slider sandwich.
OMG Hot Chicken offers sides including waffle fries, corn, mashed potatoes and Mac & Cheese. Additionally they offer smoothies and drinks, and a selection of desserts such as cheesecakes, banana pudding and cookies.
OMG Hot Chicken is a newer Nashville Hot Chicken restaurant chain who opened their first location in May of this year and based on their website they have plans for five locations in the nearterm future. PHL17 was at their May opening of the Frankford Ave location where over 1,700 free sandwiches were given out! (PHL17)
Fox 29 has an in-studio segment called “What’s For Dinner”, and last Spring they invited OMG Hot Chicken into the studio and the 10-minute online segment does a great job of introducing the brand and the founders. (Fox29)
OMG Hot Chicken Pennsauken
For the upcoming Pennsauken restaurant, the information comes from the eye-catching distinctive OMG Hot Chicken graphics painted on the building… as well as the location being listed on their website.
At this time I don’t have any details on when to expect Pennsauken to open.
I’ve reached out to management/ownership over the last week but haven’t been able to connect with them. I see that on October 4th they are opening their second location (Temple University campus area), so likely they are focused on getting that location ready for opening day.
I stopped over at the Pennsauken property just over a week ago to see the building has a really powerful and eye-catching exterior front wall mural showcasing the brand, perfectly positioned to face Route 130. There are a few other areas of the building which have been updated with the mural graphics, including the interior entrance.
The rear parking lot side entrance has a freestanding light box sign that has also been updated with attractive OMG brand signage… But the larger signs on the building and the main roadside post have not been updated.
As the Pennsauken location gets closer to opening I will be back to share more with readers.
While my coverage is focused on the Pennsauken location I will add that their social media channels say that for the Philadelphia location opening at 1000 Diamond Street, the opening day events on October 4th include free food from 4:00 to 7:00 PM!
