New Hot Chicken Eatery Comes To South Orange County Friday

ALISO VIEJO, CA — A new hot chicken restaurant is opening its doors in south Orange County on Friday, July 21, and residents who join in on the celebration have the chance to receive free swag.

Nashville-based hot chicken brand Angry Chickz is bringing its spicy fried chicken to Aliso Viejo, marking the growing company's first location in Orange County.

The first 100 resident who take part in the Friday opening will receive a bag full of branded merchandise, including items such as Angry Chickz car air fresheners, key chains, stickers and a #22 Angry Chickz jersey — in honor of the brand's 22nd location.

“Bringing Angry Chickz to Aliso Viejo community is a significant occasion for us and we are thrilled to introduce our fiery flavors to Orange County,” Founder David Mkhitaryan told Patch. “We have a passion for what we do, and we’re honored by the incredible following that we’ve established. We can’t wait to introduce the best fried chicken in the world to a new community.”

Angry Chickz will open at 11 a.m. Friday, July 21 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held by the Aliso Viejo Chamber of Commerce. Angry Chickz is located at 26741 Aliso Creek Road.
