Excitement Grows in Livonia for Big Chicken’s Grand Opening!
Livonia is buzzing with excitement as it gears up for the grand opening of Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken, set to take place on Tuesday, October 15. With the legendary basketball star backing this fried chicken restaurant, it’s not just any eatery opening—it’s a celebration of delicious food and hospitality!
Free Food for the First 34 Customers
As a special treat in honor of Shaquille’s jersey number, which was famously retired in 2012, the first 34 customers in line will be rewarded with an amazing offer. They’ll receive $10 in free food every week for a whole year! It’s a remarkable opportunity for locals to indulge in some delicious meals while celebrating the arrival of this much-anticipated restaurant.
Where to Find Big Chicken
The new restaurant is located at 30130 Plymouth Road, making it easily accessible for anyone craving a tasty bite. Once inside, customers will find a menu filled with O’Neal’s signature fried chicken sandwiches, flavorful sides, and mouth-watering shakes. Since its inception in 2018, Big Chicken has developed a loyal following, and this Livonia location aims to attract even more fans.
Menu Highlights
So what can you expect from the menu? How about the “Shaq Attack”? This delectable sandwich features tender fried chicken, spicy jalapeño slaw, pepper jack cheese, and a zesty chipotle BBQ sauce that will have your taste buds dancing! And then there’s “The Ultimate,” which takes things to another level with fried chicken topped off with creamy mac and cheese, crispy fried onions, and a roasted garlic BBQ aioli. Both options are sure to satisfy even the heartiest appetites!
But there’s more! The Livonia location will also introduce Dunks—savory boneless chicken pieces that are a perfect balance between nuggets and traditional tenders. On top of that, expect seasoned traditional wings available in a variety of tantalizing sauces. Get ready to explore new flavors!
A Fun and Welcoming Atmosphere
Big Chicken isn’t just about the food; it’s also about the experience. According to Michigan Big Chicken General Manager Joselyn Burch, guests can expect a vibrant atmosphere with music playing throughout the space, creating a lively dining environment. Burch emphasized, “The thing I love the most…is the hospitality of it all. When you walk into a Big Chicken, you’re walking into, we like to say, Shaquille’s home. We don’t have customers here, we have guests.”
This focus on hospitality ensures that everyone who visits feels like they belong, making it not just a restaurant, but a community hub.
Dine-In, Carryout, and Delivery Options
Whether you want to sit down and enjoy your meal in-house or prefer to grab something to go, Big Chicken has you covered. The restaurant will offer both dine-in and carryout options, along with third-party delivery services for those who prefer to enjoy their meal from the comfort of their home. No matter how you choose to experience it, delicious food is just a click or a short drive away!
