Nashville-style Hot Chicken is the “hottest” restaurant style making its way through the area, and locally owned Asad’s Hot Chicken is now coming to Cherry Hill! This will be Asad’s third South Jersey location.
This latest location is in the Woodcrest Shopping Center in Cherry Hill NJ, on Haddonfield-Berlin Rd.
Note: Asad’s Sicklerville is Now Open. Check out my experience post!

Nashville Hot Style Chicken is typically prepared by first marinating the chicken in a brine overnight. When ordered the chicken is coated in the Asad’s signature seasoning blend and can be requested in a variety of heat levels. Each order is prepared fresh to your liking!
I visited an Asad’s Hot Chicken location in Philadelphia earlier this month and was served a very large chicken tender which can be ordered as a slider sandwich, or just as a tender.
Asad’s also offers milkshakes, smoothies and two flavor options for pudding.

For the upcoming Cherry Hill location, this well-known shopping center is close to the Route 295 exit which should provide quick and easy access for customers visiting from other South Jersey towns from even further out.
The unit for Asad’s was most recently Alamodak Restaurant & Lounge, which according to the popular South Jersey Food Scene website opened early in 2023. Prior to that the unit was home to Woodcrest Pizza.
In my visit today, while the new Asad’s signage was installed on the unit front, the front glass still represented the Alamodak restaurant.
Asad’s Hot Chicken opened its first South Jersey location in Burlington NJ just last year.

Earlier this month 42Freeway broke the news on Asad’s second South Jersey location which will be coming very soon to the Winslow Plaza in Sicklerville. Asad’s has now formally confirmed the Sicklerville location, via a recent Instagram post.
Interestingly Asad’s 2 latest locations of Sicklerville and Cherry Hill match up somewhat to one of their top national competitors… Dave’s Hot Chicken. Dave’s is already open in Cherry Hill at the Ellisburg Shopping Center, and as 42Freeway first reported… Dave’s is coming to the Cross Keys Road Sicklerville area, taking over the former PDQ chicken restaurant building.

Asad’s Hot Chicken
Asad Khan is a Philly native with a significant food industry background. Growing up around restaurants and food, helped develop his passion for restaurants at a very young age.
Industry reports say he opened his first Asad’s Hot Chicken restaurant in Northeast Philadelphia in 2022. The menu for all locations is halal.

While they’ve only been around a short time, Asad’s really has connected with the community as it’s common to wait in long lines to get your order during key lunch and dinner hours. After a location Grand Opening, for days and weeks afterwards it can be difficult to get even close to the place!
As mentioned Asad’s uses delicious large chicken tenders, with their own secret recipe of spicy seasonings and the Asad’s Secret Sauce.
There are four different levels of spice with the chicken seasoning; Mild, Hot, Extra Hot and Scorchin. And of course there’s an option for no spice at all.

Like many of the more recent chicken restaurants coming into South Jersey (including Raising Cane’s and Dave’s)… there is a simplified menu offered which at Asad’s means 6 combos in total, with five of the options based on chicken tenders and the slider sandwich variant.
Combo item 6, at least when i visited in Philadelphia… is a platter of Assad’s loaded French fries
If you’ve never been to Asad’s, likely the best choice and top selling combo is the Number One slider with fries, which also includes pickles, coleslaw, cheese and Assad sauce.
So another aspect of Assad’s popularity is Value! He’s found an amazing price point which connects with customers… the popular #1 Slider Combo is priced at under $10!

As mentioned they offer milkshakes which are available in six different innovative flavors including Nutella Magic, Cookies and Cream and PB blast.
Fruit Smoothies are offered in 5 flavors including Razzle Dazzle, Tutti Fruity and Tropical.
For dessert they offer Strawberry or Banana pudding flavors.
I have no timing on when this Cherry Hill location will open, but it’s interesting they have the signage up already!
For the Sicklerville location they posted 2 days ago on Instagram that it’s coming soon, and they’re getting the promotional effort started. Asad himself was featured in that video at that Sicklerville location, so it makes me think the Sicklerville opening is coming soon. I’m on top of it!
