As the line in front of the restaurant grew, the crowd became overwhelming with everyone eagerly waiting to get a taste of Shaq’s big chicken. 

Shaquille O’Neal himself made an appearance towering over the crowd at 7’1. He shook hands, signed autographs and posed for pictures.

But the fire marshal concerned about safety and crowd control eventually made the decision to close down the event and move everyone outside the building.

Shaquille O’Neal’s personality on menu 

Big Chicken started as a franchise in 2018 and is built around Shaquille O’Neal’s personality. It offers guests an inside look into the life and tastes of the NBA superstar.

The menu has Shaq’s personal touch. From chicken sandwiches, popcorn chicken and tenders to sliders, salads and fries, the menu reflects the food Shaq enjoyed as a child.

“This is my creation,” Shaq playfully remarked. “Coming from where we come from, we had to eat chicken a lot. Chicken sandwiches, chicken tacos, chicken everything. When the opportunity to create this franchise arose, we sold over 250 of them. This is the first one to open in Houston, and I just wanted people to come out and try it. If you like it, cool. If not, let us know so we can make this one of the best restaurants out here.”
