Chicken cooked with patience.
Across the world, the best chicken traditions share one insight -- time matters more than technique. Infus'd Chicken is our take on that idea, pushed to a full 24 hours.
Every great chicken tradition uses time.
Long before anyone called it "infusion," the best chicken cooks in the world already knew the trick. In India, tandoori chicken sits overnight in a yogurt-and-spice marinade before it touches the clay oven. In Jamaica, jerk chicken spends a full night in scotch bonnet paste. In the American South, buttermilk brines rest chicken twelve to twenty-four hours before it hits the fryer. In China, char siu chicken marinates for a day in five-spice, hoisin and fermented bean paste.
Different spices. Different fires. But the same principle in every kitchen: chicken doesn't need to be complicated. It needs to be given time. A rushed marinade sits on the skin. A long marinade settles in.
Chefs across centuries figured this out independently because it's not a technique -- it's a truth about the meat. Chicken is muscle and fat, and both take hours to accept seasoning past the surface. Skip the hours, and the flavor stays on top. Give them, and the flavor moves through.
Infus'd is that idea, taken to 24 hours.
Infus'd Chicken builds on the same principle those older traditions were working with, and pushes it. Every signature bird spends a full 24 hours in a house-ground spice-and-oil marinade tuned to the plate it's meant to become. Not a couple of hours. A full day. That's what lets the seasoning move past the skin and thread through the meat all the way to the bone.
The spice blends aren't premade. Chillies picked from the local market. Whole spices roasted in-house. Ground and mixed fresh for each marinade profile -- chipotle and smoke for the Smokey; garlic and honey for the Honey Garlic; cumin and chili for the Mexican Fiesta; saffron and cream for the Truffle; deep gravy notes for the Gravilicious; cayenne and Nashville heat for the Fiery.
Once the marinade is done, the chicken cooks in its own moisture and fat. No added oil. No aggressive char. Just a slow, steady cook that lets the bird finish itself and hold 95%+ of its juice at the end. That's the moisture-retention technique -- old idea, patient execution.
Four things that define Infus'd.
Ancient chicken cooks and modern kitchens converge on the same four moves. Miss any one and the chicken loses something. Do all four and the bird carries flavor edge to bone.
Time
A full 24 hours in the marinade. Not one. Not four. A day. That's how the seasoning gets past the skin and settles into muscle.
Fresh spice
No premade powders. Chillies picked, spices roasted, blends ground in-house and matched to the plate. Freshness is where the zing lives.
Zero added oil
The bird cooks in its own moisture and fat. No oil bath, no aggressive char -- and 95%+ moisture retention at the end.
The sweet spots
Six spots on every finished bird where the marinade pools thickest. Poke one, watch the flavor ooze out. That's how we know the Infus'd went through.
Six plates, one method.

Infus'd Chicken, explained.
What is Infus'd Chicken?
Infus'd Chicken is our signature preparation -- chicken worked with a house-ground spice blend for a full 24 hours before it's cooked, then finished in its own moisture and fat with no added oil. The seasoning settles deep into the meat so the flavor carries all the way through, not just on the skin.
How does the 24-hour process work?
The bird sits in a spice-and-oil marinade -- tuned to the specific plate -- for a full day. Salt and oil act as carriers, pulling spice molecules past the skin and settling them into muscle. That migration takes time. Four hours gets you the outer layer. Twenty-four hours gets you a bird seasoned to the bone. Once the marinade is done, the chicken cooks slow in its own moisture with no added oil.
How is Infus'd different from regular grilled or roasted chicken?
Two things. Time -- most grilled chicken is marinated for minutes or a few hours; Infus'd runs a full 24. And technique -- most cooked chicken uses added oil or high heat; Infus'd cooks in the moisture already in the bird. The result is a plate that holds 95%+ of its juice and carries flavor to the bone.
Is Infus'd Chicken always spicy?
Not at all. Infus'd is the technique -- the flavor profile depends on the plate. Nashville Fiery leans traditionally hot. Honey Garlic and Saffron Truffle Cream stay mild and rich. Smokey Chipotle sits in the middle. The kids lineup is all mild-spice by design.
What's a good Infus'd plate to try first?
The Infus'd Smokey Chipotle Chicken ($13.99) is our flagship -- whole Infus'd chicken in a smoky chipotle marinade, char-grilled and slow-rested. It shows what Infus'd is meant to taste like at its most balanced. For a group, order the Gravilicious Platter and pass it around.
