bb.q Chicken differentiates itself from traditional American fried chicken offerings by employing a unique frying technique that cooks the chicken at a lower temperature, resulting in a lighter and crispier texture.

Team members coat and toss each piece of chicken in signature sauces, to ensure a perfect blend of crispiness and a distinctive taste.

The Montgomery location will operate from Sunday to Wednesday between 11am and 9pm, and from Thursday to Saturday between 11am and 10pm.

The chain recently opened a new location in Garfield, New Jersey. The opening was attended by Bergen County Economic Development Representative Greer C Galgano and Garfield City Mayor Richard Rigoglioso. A location at 9672 Garden Grove Blvd, Garden Grove, California, opened in March 2024.
