No matter what you choose, every menu item you pick is a win at Clutch City Cluckers. And fans of the chicken spot can rejoice because the franchise will soon add another location in order to satisfy Houston’s high demand for its cluckin’ good fare. At Clutch City Cluckers, you can choose from heat levels that range from mild to cluck it like it’s hot. Options for how you can have your chicken served to you abound and range from brioche buns, stuffed Texas toast, flour tortillas or the loaded fries with the truck’s signature cheesy sauce.

Located near the intersection of Chimney Rock and Westheimer roads is Clutch City Cluckers, the food truck that’s breathing heat — and pop culture — into its food. One whiff of the cayenne pepper-infused hot chicken will send you sniffling. The super fun menu includes a hot chicken sandwich or, as they like to call it, “Cluck It Like It’s Hot,” and the tasty side orders, like mac and cheese and fries, dubbed “sides to the DMs.” 

Occupying what looks like a main-stage concert setup at the Galleria Food Truck Park, Clutch City Cluckers certainly has a presence. Its chicken makes a statement, too: Get Cluck It Like It’s Hot, the sandwich of chicken tenders (one or two) with pickles, slaw, and a special tangy sauce. Heat levels? Mild and medium won’t cause damage, but Cluck It Like It’s Hot will induce tears—the good kind.

Clutch City Cluckers, 5550 Val Verde, will have its grand opening February 19 through February 21. This will be a permanent spot for the halal food truck which specializes in Nashville hot chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders and loaded fries. For the three day grand opening, guests can get 50 percent off the menu. There will also be a raffle for a Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switches for guests dining in.

The concept comes from Jordanian-born entrepreneur, Ahmad Kilani, who came to the United States in 2015 to earn his Master’s Degree. During that time, he worked at Abu Omar Halal, Houston’s first halal food truck. Kilani now co-owns six of its locations including the brick and mortar on Westheimer.

Clutch City Cluckers, 6730 Louetta, will have its grand opening October 1 and October 2 in Spring, Texas.  The celebration begins at 11 a.m. each day and runs though midnight, or sellout, which ever comes first. This will be the 6th location for the Houston-based hot chicken food truck which offers Hot Chicken Sandwiches, Chicken Tenders, Cauliflower Tenders and its popular Loaded Fries.

There will be a raffle for a four-night Disney Cruise plus free meals for the first 50 people in line. For the grand opening days, there will also be 50 percent off the entire menu. The family-friendly event will feature a DJ, face painting and more.

Over the past three years, at least eight hot chicken joints have opened in the Spring and Klein area, according to previous Community Impact coverage. To learn more about each of these restaurants, check out our Hot Chicken Guide to Spring & Klein. This list is not comprehensive.
