Haven Hot Chicken

We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our 9th location in downtown Fairfield, Connecticut. As David Sepulveda (Fairfield GM) states “We couldn’t be more excited to be opening during the summertime in this beautiful, beachfront community – what better way to spend an afternoon at the beach than with a picnic from Haven Hot Chicken?” As our tradition stands, we will give away 203 FREE Chicken sandwiches starting at 11:00 am on August 3rd at our Fairfield Location. Fairfield residents, get ready to 'eat better chicken' at Haven Hot Chicken! Etkin Tekin Jason Sobocinski Rob LaTronica Craig Sklar Thomas Sobocinski
