Following a name change and new menu, Pudgie’s has once again taken wing on Long Island. The chain, known as Pudgie’s Famous Chicken, has been newly rebranded as Pudgie’s Naked Chicken, which opened its first prototype restaurant at 7 Hicksville Road in Massapequa last month. Its owners are seeking franchisees for as many as 30 more Naked Chickens throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties within the next few years.
Once best known for its skinless fried chicken and barbecued ribs, the revamped Pudgie’s has added grilled chicken, chicken burgers, salads, sandwiches, rice bowls and more.
