Real Halal Hot Fried Chicken. Hand Crafted in Scranton, PA. Every Time You Order.
Here is what you need to know about SHAMS Hot Chicken. Nothing on our menu is mass produced or sitting in a warmer. Every slider, every tender, every wrap is hand crafted and fried to order. Our spice blend is layered and built right, and our signature SHAMS sauce is the thing people start ordering extra of by their second visit.
We are 100% Halal and Scranton is our newest chapter. Our story started inside a banana station counter in Kingston, where regulars will still talk about lining up since day one. That same hometown energy and commitment to hand crafted food traveled with us down the Wyoming Valley. We are bringing it to North Scranton with the same recipes and the same heart.
Scranton has plenty of places to grab dinner. We are the one you remember the next morning.
