iniBurger, the Bay Area’s newest fast casual burger chain serving up a 100 percent halal menu, has introduced an unexpected flavor combination to its permanent menu at both the Fremont and Pleasanton locations. Rivaling popular Nashville Hot Chicken vendors like Dave’s Hot Chicken, World Famous Hot Boys, Gus’s, and others, iniBurger’s Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is a fan-favorite, and in time for National Hot Chicken Day on March 30, iniBurger has unveiled its Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich topped with a massive scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Having previously tested this secret menu hack with Bay Area foodies and receiving high marks for the sweet and savory twist, the Bay Area concept, well-known for challenging what can be served between two buns, has announced that the innovative creation is here to stay. To mark the debut, guests can enjoy buy one, get one free on the new sandwich on Tuesday, March 30, National Hot Chicken Day, at both iniBurger locations.
The eatery’s take on the popular Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is made with a juicy fried chicken patty, house special Boom Sauce, cayenne sauce, and topped with pickles and house-made coleslaw. Where other well-known hot chicken joints go deep in heat, iniBurger goes wide in variety by adding an innovative spin on the popular sandwich. Both the traditional Nashville Hot Chicken and the Nashville Hot Chicken and Ice Cream sandwiches are crafted using cage-free poultry that’s fed a strict, all-vegetarian diet. The 100 percent halal chicken is void of any antibiotics, added hormones, and animal by-products, ensuring the highest-quality meat and fresh flavor that you can taste.
“We know that almost every popular chain has their take on the Nashville Hot Chicken, but the only variation typically offered is the level of heat,” says iniBurger’s founder Abdul Popal. “Unfortunately, this makes it so diners that are not spice-inclined don’t get to experience the depth of flavor packed into these sandwiches. Don’t get me wrong: our sandwich is hot. But, the unique addition of a massive vanilla ice cream scoop cuts the heat and elevates the flavor in a way that sets us apart. We’re not here to make the same, overdone spicy chicken sandwich that everyone else is making. It’s just not our way. Our commitment to constantly push the envelope of flavor combinations and introduce the unexpected is what keeps diners coming back for more.”
Since iniBurger’s debut last year, the gourmet burger concept has been taking the Bay Area by storm for its eclectic twists on classic American eats. In addition to the Nashville Hot Chicken, other offerings gracing the menu include customizable burgers in B’igi (4 ounce) and M’ini (2 ounce) form, Western BBQ and Hawaiian Spice burgers, chicken wings and tenders, nacho fries topped with crispy fried chicken, shakes, and more, giving customers a wide range of menu items to choose from. A few out-of-box items are also featured, including a Falafel Burger as well as the Waffle’n Out made with a crunchy waffle potato bun stuffed with a crispy chicken patty, Boom Sauce, melted cheddar cheese, grilled onions, turkey bacon, and a fried egg.
