Cowboy Chicken Wichita is located at 3130 N. Rock Road. The new 3,200-square foot restaurant centers on a large, wood-burning rotisserie where guests can view the chickens roasting from the rustic-meets-modern dining area. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
This is the fourth Cowboy Chicken restaurant for FRC Group, which owns and operates locations in Manhattan, Kansas; Ankeny, Iowa; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Omaha, Nebraska-based affiliate of Sun Capital Partners has entered into a franchise agreement to open a total of 14 Cowboy Chicken restaurants across Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota.
Cowboy Chicken serves all-natural, hormone-free rotisserie chickens that are hand-seasoned in store, marinated for 24 hours and then slowly roasted for two hours over a real wood-burning fire. Hearty and healthy dishes are available during lunch and dinner for dine-in, take out, catering and delivery. On-the-go diners can order on the Cowboy Chicken app, available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which allows guests to order ahead, pay with their phone at checkout and earn rewards.
