Celebrity chef Guy Fieri is frying up something good in North Texas.
The self-described “Mayor of Flavortown” is opening Chicken Guy! in Dallas at 7859 Walnut Hill Lane, suite 190. After being announced back in 2023, the restaurant will hold its grand opening on Thursday, Feb. 6.
Chicken Guy! is a fast casual restaurant chain that serves, you guessed it, fried chicken.
The chain focuses solely on chicken tenders, whether it be atop a sandwich, on a salad or simply served along fries. There’s a dozen different sauces to try, including garlic parmesan, avocado crema and “donkey sauce.”
