Houston TX Hot Chicken is doubling its Arizona presence.

The Las Vegas-based fast-casual chicken brand is opening Saturday at 1904 E. Camelback Road in Phoenix. The launch comes less than three months after HHC entered Arizona with a location at 927 E. University Dr,. in Tempe.

"Phoenix felt like the right next step for us," Brian Simowitz, president of Houston TX Hot Chicken, said in a press release. "We've already seen how well the brand resonates in Arizona, and this location lets us bring that same energy into a high-traffic part of the city while continuing to build on what's working."

In addition to Arizona and Nevada, HHC operates restaurants in California, Idaho, Utah and Washington. The company said it plans to continue its nationwide expansion in 2026.
