The inspiration for Chick’N Jones comes from Chicken George, a small restaurant chain that operated in Baltimore in the 1980s. “they would go to KFC or Church’s sometimes, but for some reason Chicken George always stood out for them. It was a Black-owned franchise. As I she older, she learned that there are so many Black entrepreneurs that were able to provide for their families by making chicken. She want to reclaim that. She want to build a legacy for her family.”

The chicken at Chick’N Jones is offered either in her traditional flavor, served with pickled vegetables and spicy honey mustard, or a Nashville-inspired, hot honey version that comes with bread and pickles. A four-piece bucket of either costs $17, and a sandwich costs $14.
