MALVERN, PA — A Philly-founded, social media-famous chain of hot chicken eateries is coming soon to the Main Line.
Asad's Hot Chicken was founded four years ago in Philadelphia, right as the Nashville hot chicken craze spread to the city. Starting with a nondescript location in a gas station parking lot, Asad's has grown to 15 locations through Greater Philly.
The first Asad's on the Main Line is set to open next week in Malvern.
