Our story

Bold flavor, serious heat.

At Cluckies Hot Chicken, we're serving up bold flavor and serious heat right here in Johnson City. From crispy tenders and saucy wings to stacked hot chicken sandwiches, every bite is juicy, crunchy and packed with personality.

Whether you like it mild or blazing hot, Cluckies brings the spice, the flavor and the good vibes. Get ready to get clucked up.

Cluckies is owned by Jonathan Harrigan, Alex Weaver and Mark Katras. We opened the coop at 3111 West Market Street on January 13, 2026, after months of planning.

We marinate our chicken for 24 hours, fry in beef tallow and cook our fries the same way. Our spices and sauces are locally sourced, our cookies are homemade by Kramer's, and we have some seriously talented women on our team who run the kitchen.

Whether you like it mild or blazing hot, Cluckies brings the spice.

Why Cluckies

Hot chicken, your way.

  1. 24-hour marinade, beef tallow fry

    Our chicken marinates for a full day, then fries in beef tallow for a crust that crunches. Fries too.

  2. Five heat levels

    Wimpy (no heat), Mild, Medium, Hot (might get a little sweaty) and Clucked Up. You'll feel that one twice.

  3. 14 sauces and counting

    Buffalo, lemon pepper, garlic parmesan, hot honey, spicy yaki, General Tso, honey lime sriracha and more, plus a sauce of the day.
