Hot Chicken Throw Down Phoenix

Phoenix’s Hot Chicken Throwdown October 20th at Ocotillo

Do you love Hot Chicken? You must join us for this year’s Hot Chicken Throwdown on October 2oth. This year’s event is hosted at Ocotillo from 4 pm – 8 pm.

Top valley chef’s battle for the title of Arizona’s Best Hot Chicken, a trophy, and a CASH PRIZE of $1,000! You will be able to cast your vote and decide “People Choice” winner!

The best part about it, (besides the amazing food) is that all proceeds are donated to charity! Last year we raised over $2,000 and donated over 100 cases of water to the homeless community.

Sponsors include Helton Brewing Company so there will be plenty to drink (and cool off the burn for the HOT chicken)
