Wherever Guy Fieri opens a Chicken Guy! Restaurant, it's always a smash success.
It's easy to see why. This family-friendly casual eatery is famous for its luscious all-natural chicken tenders, 20-plus tasty sauces, hearty signature sandwiches, brimming salad bowls, and more... all at reasonable prices.
Now Celebrity Chef Fieri is bringing his chicken-focused restaurant concept to Gatlinburg here in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains.
The exact opening date is unknown, but Food Network mega-star Fieri expects to start tickling taste buds in the Smokies by late spring or early summer 2020.
With its quick service and comfortable seating, Chicken Guy! provides a genuine benefit to the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge area. After all, when you're out and about, seeing the sights and touring attractions, you don't always have time for a fancy, elaborate meal. At the same time, you're not always up for a sterile fast-food experience. Chicken Guy! offers the perfect balance: fast-casual dining in a cozy, relaxing setting. No wonder families love it!
Bite into Chicken Guy's signature tenders, and you'll know why they get rave reviews. Cut from the underside of premium chicken breasts, each carefully chosen tender is:
100% all-natural – no hormones or antibiotics
Hand-pounded to maximize tenderness and crunch
Brined in fresh lemon juice, pickle brine, and buttermilk
Infused with fresh, savory herbs
You can choose either crispy fried tenders – coated with seasoned flour, fresh eggs, and gourmet breading – or succulent grilled tenders. Both options are spiced with garlic, oregano, paprika, onion, and freshly ground pepper, then cooked to tasty perfection.
The fried tenders are even air-fried to minimize fats and calories. Crisp and crunchy on the outside, they burst with juicy flavor inside – a treat for the taste buds that will have you clamoring for more.
Of course, delicious chicken is only half the equation. The other half? Over 20 tantalizing sauces – some sweet, some savory, some spicy-hot – all originally from the kitchen of Guy Fieri himself.
Savor everything from exotic Wasabi Honey sauce to roasted Garlic Parmesan... from Bleu Cheese and Buttermilk Ranch to tangy Avocado Crema, spicy Habanero Hot Sauce, and Sweet Sriracha BBQ. Not to mention Guy's Special Sauce – a favorite with customers – plus classics like Lemon Pepper and Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ.
Chicken tender plates (either two tenders or three, your choice) come with your pick of any two sauces. You can order additional sauces for only 50 cents each. Plus, you can load up on shareable sides such as loaded fries and mac'n'cheese, then top it all off with a fabulous soft-serve frozen dessert.
Other menu options include:
Salad bowls – Chopped Chicken Caesar, Mexican Street Corn, and BBQ Chopped Chicken
House-made sandwiches featuring plump chicken tenders smothered in savory sauces... plus the ultimate bacon-lettuce-and-tomato sandwich seasoned with Avocado Crema
Classic slaw, fried pickle chips, and more
