Our Story
Welcome to
SHAMS Hot Chicken
At Shams Hot Chicken, every bite is a burst of Nashville style heat balanced with sweet undertones. We’re a halal hot chicken shop in Kingston, Pennsylvania, known for serving flavor that hits different.
Born in a
Gas Station
Kitchen
Our journey began humbly inside a Sunoco station/Kingston Food Mart. What started as a tiny take out counter quickly gained a following; regulars still reminisce that they’ve been eating here since it first opened in the Sunoco gas station.
That little kitchen taught us that great food and genuine hospitality matter more than square footage.
Hand‑Crafted Heat &
Halal Comfort
We make everything fresh, coating and frying each piece of chicken by hand. Our top secret blend of spices and signature Shams sauce create a crispy, juicy heat that’s all our own. Whether it’s a giant chicken slider, loaded fries drizzled with hot honey or mac n cheese piled high with tenders, our menu proves comfort food can be bold and halal friendly.
Community & The
Next Chapter
We owe everything to the people who lined up for our grand opening and filled our restaurant with love. From free food giveaways and big prizes to expansion plans in Scranton, Shams is always about giving back and pushing forward. Visit us or follow along as we share our heat with new neighborhoods.
