Indian Cuisine-Inspired Chicken Menus

The Starbird Indian Hotbird Menu Has Three Items

The Starbird Indian Hotbird Menu has been announced by the brand as a series of Indian cuisine-inspired fried chicken items that are perfect for elevating flavor experiences. The menu is arriving just in time for National Chicken Month and boasts three items to choose from including the Indian Hotbird Sandwich, Indian Hotbird Tender Box and the Masala Street Fries. The Indian Hotbird Sandwich and the Indian Hotbird Tender Box put the Hot Masala Crisp Chicken in the spotlight, while the Masala Street Fries are elevated with Tamarind Mint Raita, Tikka Sauce, Nashville oil and Masala Fire Shake.

Founder Aaron Noveshen spoke on the Starbird Indian Hotbird Menu saying, "This new Indian-inspired menu is a perfect example of our commitment to chef-driven creativity and our mission to expand the boundaries of what fast-food can be. It reflects our culinary roots and our belief that fast-food should offer craveable, feel-good flavors that elevate every meal. We’re excited to celebrate National Chicken Month by introducing these standout, spice-forward dishes to our guests. From the Indian Hotbird sandwich with its house-made Tikka Sauce to the Masala Street Fries, we’ve built layers of flavor that we know our customers will crave.”
