About Hot Chi

Hot Chi brings one-of-a-kind Chicago fire and flavor to everything we do.

We’re more than hot chicken—it’s about culture, legacy, and Second City swagger. We take pride in our hometown, lead with soul, and have fun while we do it.

For us, it’s all about ihsan —the practice of excellence and serving others well. Whether it’s making viral videos or making someone’s day with a free meal, we do it with intention.

We opened our first location in Chatham in 2020, inside the former Harold’s #55. What started as a bold idea in the middle of a pandemic turned into lines around the block and a growing brand with multiple locations, collabs with Chicago artists, and the mission to put Chicago-style hot chicken on the map .

At Hot Chi, we live to serve. If you bring the hustle, the hospitality, and the good vibes, you’ll fit right in.
