It’s going to be a big week for chicken in Rock Hill. These two spots celebrate openings
From chicken salad to chicken wings, it’s going to be a busy couple of days in Rock Hill.
Two chicken-focused restaurants are planning to open in the same week in Rock Hill.
On Tuesday, Chicken Salad Chick will open at 760 Herlong Ave.
