Hand-marinated in a house blend of cayenne, red pepper, and Mediterranean herbs, then charbroiled to order.
Marinated overnight in cayenne, crushed red pepper, cumin, coriander, and Mediterranean herbs, then charbroiled to order so the edges caramelize and the heat sets into the meat. Order it as a plate, a wrap, or family-style.
Plenty of places can make chicken hot. Fewer can make it hot and still worth finishing. Ours is hand-marinated overnight in a house spice blend, then charbroiled to order so the edges caramelize and the heat sets into the meat instead of sitting on top of it. That open-flame char is the part you can’t fake with a pan or a fryer.

The heat blend behind the burn.
The blend works in two layers. Cayenne and crushed red pepper bring the heat; cumin, coriander, and Mediterranean herbs bring the depth that keeps it from being a one-note burn. It’s assertive, not punishing.

“My favorite Mediterranean spot. The spicy chicken is perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat, and the lentil soup is always on point. I also love their hummus, super smooth and flavorful.”

Before you order the heat.
A few quick answers. For anything else, give us a call at (559) 261-2747.
How spicy is it, really?
It’s genuinely hot, but built to be eaten, not endured. The heat comes from cayenne and crushed red pepper in the marinade, balanced by cumin, coriander, and Mediterranean herbs so there’s flavor underneath the burn. If you want the flavor without the fire, our garlic chicken is the milder pick.
What comes with the Spicy Chicken plate?
The plate is charbroiled spicy chicken over rice pilaf with grilled vegetables. Unlike some of our other broiler plates, the Spicy Chicken plate does not come with pita, and at lunch it’s served with rice pilaf only. Our spicy garlic sauce is available on the side.
What’s the difference between the plate, the wrap, and family-style?
Same spicy chicken, three formats. The plate is a full dinner with rice pilaf and grilled vegetables. The wrap puts it in lavash with lettuce, tomato, onion, and our spicy garlic sauce. The Family-Style Dinner is a family-size portion, enough for about four to five people.
Is the spicy chicken gluten-free? What about allergens?
The spicy chicken is not gluten-free. Our kitchen handles all major allergens, including wheat, soy, and sesame, and we can’t guarantee any item is free from cross-contact. See our allergen guide and tell your server about any allergy before ordering.
Can I get spicy chicken for delivery or catering?
Order direct through our website for pickup or delivery, with $10 off orders of $50 or more using code FRESNOBEST10. Spicy chicken is also a favorite at our catered events.
