Company Information Haven Hot Chicken is one of the first fully dedicated Nashville Hot Chicken concepts in New England, founded by local restaurateurs Rob LaTronica, Craig Sklar, Jason Sobocinski and Etkin Tekin in the fall of 2020. Serving chicken and vegetarian options ranging from not spicy to very spicy, the menu is rounded out by traditional southern sides. Haven's menu lists five levels of heat so that guests can experience authentic Nashville Hot Chicken and Not Chicken flavor. After several trips to Nashville and hundreds of test recipes obsessing over every last detail, Chef Rob honed his recipe for the perfect piece of chicken, the Haven recipe. Haven Hot Chicken currently operates 6 locations within the state of Connecticut and has aggressive expansion plans.
