Crimson Coward Introduces New Menu Item 'Cheez Nugs' Nationwide

Exciting New Menu Item from Crimson Coward

Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken is once again igniting the culinary scene with an innovative menu addition. On September 18, 2026, the popular fast-casual dining brand will unveil its newest creation—Cheez Nugs. This delightful new offering promises to elevate the dining experience for fans of the brand's famously spicy chicken.

What are Cheez Nugs?

Cheez Nugs are delectable bite-sized pieces crafted from 100% whole-milk mozzarella. Encased in a golden, herb-seasoned crust, these nuggets are freshly fried, creating a crisp exterior while maintaining a warm, melty interior. They perfectly embody the quality and craftsmanship Crimson Coward is known for.

Accompanied by the restaurant's signature scratch-made sauces, including Crimson Sauce and cool ranch, Cheez Nugs serve not just as a side but as an essential companion to their spicy chicken offerings. The addition of these cheesy bites is more than just a culinary treat; they are designed to act as a palate soother against the brand's various heat levels.

The Science Behind the Spice

Crimson Coward knows that their customers enjoy the thrilling kick of a hot meal. With five distinct heat levels—Country (no heat), Mild, Medium, Hot, and BURRRRN, BABY, BURN—finding the right balance is crucial. Cheez Nugs, due to their rich milk fats, can bind to capsaicin molecules, offering a savory relief that enhances the dining experience, especially for those opting for the spiciest tenders.

Availability and Service Options

Starting September 18, Cheez Nugs will be available at all Crimson Coward locations throughout California, Texas, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington. Customers can indulge in these bites via dine-in, takeout, mobile app ordering, and third-party delivery. They are also featured as an exciting addition to sandwiches, sliders, and wraps offered at the restaurant.

A Commitment to Quality

Ali Hijazi, the Founder and CEO of Crimson Coward, emphasizes the brand's commitment to quality. “At Crimson Coward, quality is the baseline for everything we serve,” he states, underscoring that all chicken and beef are certified Halal and that every meal is cooked fresh to order. This dedicated approach ensures that customers enjoy a delicious and safe dining experience.
