Popular Restaurant Plans To Open Burlington Location

BURLINGTON, MA — Fried chicken restaurant Yas Chicken is planning to open a store in Burlington. The restaurant is seeking a special planning permit for a site at 90 Middlesex Turnpike at the former Qdoba space, according to city documents.

"Our proposal is to work with the existing layout and infrastructure and reopen the premises as a Yas Chicken Restaurant," a letter to the city regarding the special permit application reads. "The scope of the work will be limited to cosmetic interior changes (painting & brand decor), upgrading furniture (chairs, tables, seating areas), and installing new light fixtures."

Yas Chicken currently has locations in Lynn, Lawrence, and Providence, RI.

The restaurant's website says it "was founded with the mission of providing insanely delicious chicken." All Yas Chicken's sauces are made in house.

They have a wide range of fried chicken sandwiches from classic options like the Yas O.G. to the Mac Zaddy, which features spicy garlic fried chicken with mac 'n' cheese. Yas Chicken also serves french fries and tater tots with parmesan and truffle oil.

The restaurant receives a 4.4-star rating on Grubhub. One reviewer in the Lynn Eats Facebook group said the spicy and BBQ wings are "to die for."
