sneakybird Opens Doors in Queen Creek, Brings Never Ever Fried® Philosophy, Restaurant to the Marketplace at Hudson Station

(QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. – April 21, 2025) – sneakybird, a local and family-owned eatery that opened in the Valley in 2022 and offers a quick, craft, casual approach to oven-grilled chicken, is pleased to announce the opening of its fourth Arizona restaurant. Located at 22355 E. Queen Creek Road in the growing Marketplace at Hudson Station in Queen Creek, sneakybird is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

“The secret to the success of sneakybird, spelled with all lowercase letters by design to underscore our sneaky goodness, is the combination of a specially designed oven and innovative breading recipe that together combine to give the crunch and flavor of fried chicken,” said founder Dan Chaon. “Through this cutting-edge technology, we’ve mastered a cooking process that locks in all the mouth-watering flavor and juiciness of fried chicken that will have mouths watering, minus any guilt.”

In addition to the brand’s signature oven-grilled chicken sandwiches, wraps, tenders, and wings complemented by tater tots, coleslaw, and fresh chilled veggies, sneakybird’s Queen Creek outpost also boasts sliders, a new offering to the menu.

“We are utilizing our perfectly crunchy, juicy tenders as the base for the new menu offerings, pairing them with a smaller version of our soft, lightly sweet, rich brioche bread and the guests’ choice of several spectacular dry rubs and sauces, resulting in several dozen flavor combinations, many of which are gluten-free,” said Chaon.

Just some of the sauces and dry rubs from which to choose include:

• Brutus: rich, buttery, creamy parmesan
• Fool’s Gold: sweet golden mustard and smokey barbecue
• Mango Habanero: dynamic duo of sweet mango and hot habanero (gluten free)
• Mo Bourbon: crafted notes of bourbon, fresh peppers, and molasses (gluten free)
• Music City Hot: a twist on Nashville Hot (gluten free)
• Sneaky, sneakybird’s signature buffalo style sauce (gluten free)
• SoKo: bold Asian twist of sweet meeting heat creating a smooth tangy taste
• The Q: a citrus chipotle barbeque with a touch of smoke

Of course, for those who prefer something that feels more like grilled chicken, the sliders may also be ordered “naked,” which means they are oven-grilled breadless with their signature seasoning blend of salt, pepper, and garlic dry rub.

“We are also celebrating the new restaurant and menu addition with the formal launch of Camp sneaky, a philanthropic platform to deepen each individual location’s connection to the local community,” said Chaon.

Camp sneaky is sneakybird’s community giving arm and is focused on supporting education at all levels.

“Through Camp sneaky, we will work with schools, teachers, students, and parents on fundraising programs to create meaningful change, ensuring our brand stands for mor than just the world’s best chicken,” said Chaon.

For groups seeking a fundraising partner, Camp sneaky is formally open putting together fundraising nights near its current four locations in Arizona with a portion of proceeds being donated directly back to the organization. In addition to the event itself, the sneakybird marketing team will also work with all partners on collateral and social media support to help make an even bigger impact.

“We’ve been testing Camp sneaky for the past several months, partnering on fundraising programs with local schools, and we are seeing the communities come out in a big way,” said Chaon, noting that programs need not have a formal 501c3 designation nor be a formal school to qualify for funding. Organizations looking to partner with any of the locations may inquire in person or connect online with the brand to get the ball rolling.

The anniversary comes at a time of major growth for the brand, which has plans to open its fifth Arizona location – set for Arcadia – in coming months and recently announced its plans to expand further across the state with several locations in development over the next year.

“When I envisioned this brand, which uses a state-of-the art oven and innovative breading recipe that that together combine to give the crunch and flavor of fried chicken, I saw it as the ultimate sneaky-good and sneaky guilt-free option for families like mine, our friends, and even those on the go at lunch between meetings,” said Chaon. “Just two years later, and we are poised to take our Never Ever Fried® recipes countywide, and eventually nationwide.”
