February 27, 2025 // Franchising.com // CINCINNATI, OH — Noble Chicken is set to open its flagship traditional restaurant location in Cincinnati, Ohio, in March of 2025. The idea for Noble Chicken began in 2019 as an innovative entry into a local wing competition in Cincinnati (the “Queen City”). To avoid being judged as a chain, the team behind the concept entered the contest under a new brand identity. The result? A winning combination of bold and unexpected flavors and robust portions that captivated judges and planted the seed for what would become Noble Chicken.

Building on this early success, the concept evolved through strategic tests, including the wing contest, a ghost kitchen and a licensed, non-traditional food court location, which opened in 2020.

“Our menu is anything but ordinary — it’s a flavor explosion, packed with items like enormous chicken sandwiches, jumbo tenders and wings, robust-sized salads, and a host of side items, like ghost pepper cheese sticks and ghost pepper ranch,” said Chief Development Officer Thomas Flaherty. "We wanted our menu to represent food you’d have on a road trip across the U.S.”

Noble Chicken’s menu also features standout items, like Nashville hot slaw from the south, hatch chile queso mac & cheese (a nod to the southwest), hush puppies from the Gulf and carnival-inspired deep-fried cookie dough called carnival cookie bites. All main and side items are designed with portions significantly larger than those found at competitors as a point of differentiation and a way to add value.
