The Story of Cluck-U Chicken
Cluck-U Chicken was started by a person named Robert Ilvento. He opened the first restaurant in 1985. This first location was in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It was near Rutgers University.
Mr. Ilvento sold the business in 1999. In 2000, a person named JP Haddad took over. He gained the rights to help the franchise grow across the country.
What's on the Menu?
Cluck-U Chicken, sometimes called "Cluck," serves many tasty items. They are well-known for their chicken wings, which they call "wingers." You can get these wings with many different sauces.
Sauces and Flavors
The sauces come in a range of flavors. Some are traditional, like Honey-Hickory. Others are very spicy. The spicy sauces have names like Mild, Atomic, Nuclear, Thermo-Nuclear, 911, and Nuclear Fusion.
For the super spicy "911" sauce, some restaurants ask customers to be careful. They might give a warning about how hot it is. This is to make sure people know what to expect!
