Shaq’s Big Chicken restaurant is offering a special BOGO deal this weekend | Food

This weekend, you can get a special meal for the price of one as part of a special event honoring Black-owned businesses across the country: Big Chicken at Shaquille O’Neal’s (aka DJ Diesel).

On Saturday, locals at both O’Neal’s Big Chicken restaurants in Las Vegas can grab a free “The Ultimate Chicken Sandwich,” topped with mac and cheese, fried onions and garlic barbecue aioli, and a free Pepsi Zero Sugar – while supplies last, PepsiCo said in a press release.

Big Chicken’s first location at 4480 Paradise Road #1200 opened in October 2018 near what is now the Virgin Hotel Las Vegas. The second location at 9595 Tropicana Ave. opened in January 2023.

The campaign is part of Pepsi’s fourth annual “Dig In Day” celebration, which aims to encourage diners to eat at black-owned restaurants.

Big Chicken specializes in chicken sandwiches, including the “Shaq Attack,” served with jalapeño slaw, spicy chipotle barbecue sauce, and pepper jack cheese, and the “Uncle Jerome’s Nashville Hot,” which includes Nashville hot chicken, lettuce, mayonnaise, and pickles.

Guests can also enjoy the jalapeno slaw or macaroni and cheese on the side — or try the restaurant’s dirty fries, which come with cheese sauce, bacon, banana peppers and chipotle barbecue, according to the restaurant’s website.
