Disneyland hot chicken stand refuses the heat, simplifies the menu


Disneyland hot chicken stand refuses the heat, simplifies the menu

An Orange County-based Nashville hot chicken idea has actually reduced the double entendres and splashed a Ghost Pepper heat level to bring its brand name of hand-breaded fried chicken to the Disneyland resort.

Clyde's Hot Chicken opened a food cart in late April near the Disneyland Monorail station in Downtown Disney serving boneless fried chicken on a stick.

There are no plans for a permanent Clyde's Hot Chicken location in Downtown Disney at this time, according to Disneyland authorities.

The $14 Clyde's Hot Stick Combo includes 5 pieces of chicken, potato chips and pickle pieces. The original Clyde's Sauce and Clyde's Ranch are $1 additional.

Two heat levels are available: Original with a Cayenne spice and sweet surface or Hot as Cali that blends Cayenne and Habanero spices. Timid cups can get their hot chicken without any heat-- simply ask for it "naked.".

The hot chicken chain adjusted the Nashville-inspired heat levels to interest the family-friendly Disneyland audience at the Anaheim outside shopping center.

Gone are the Habanero and Ghost Pepper spice level known as 1930 with the Hot as Cluck heat level renamed to a less irreverent Hot as Cali featuring a mix of Cayenne and Habanero.

Clyde's opened its very first dining establishment in 2019 beside the historic Fox Theatre in Fullerton and has actually since broadened to Santa Ana, Placenta and Montclair with a Yorba Linda area in the works. Clyde's also has a concession stand in the Las Vegas Raiders' Allegiant Stadium.

Clyde's prides itself on serving natural chicken without any prescription antibiotics, preservatives, hormonal agents or synthetic additives.

The Downtown Disney area features a structured menu with little more than chicken on a stick and a couple of soft drinks. The little chain's larger quick casual restaurants offer a more comprehensive menu with sandwiches, wings, tenders, chicken and waffles, sides, milkshakes and french fries.

The Clyde's Hot Chicken cart in Downtown Disney is open most days from 11 a.m. to midnight.
