HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WHLT) – NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal will bring his popular chicken restaurant, Big Chicken, to Mississippi.

The first location in the state will be on U.S. 98 adjacent to ALDI and Aspen Dental in Hattiesburg.

Founded in 2018 by the former NBA player, Big Chicken is a fast-casual concept that fuses O’Neal’s home-cooked childhood favorites.

Shaq’s Big Chicken serves crispy chicken sandwiches and tenders, Cheez-It crusted mac n’ cheese, and hand-crafted ice cream shakes and sundaes.
