Cluck-U Chicken known under Cluck-U® or Cluckster's® is a concept that began in 1985 in New Brunswick, New Jersey when a college student decided that his campus needed more than just pizza and burgers, and set out to create "The Best Buffalo Winger in the world"® available. The unique recipes and sauces that were developed created a devoted following for food made from only the finest ingredients, including fresh chicken. "Fresh Food Grilled or Fried, U decide"®

In 1990 the concept was brought to College Park, Maryland by JP Haddad, who had operated the original location in New Brunswick, after JP opened the first Maryland unit, he set out to expand thru-out the state, then in 2000 he decided that Cluck-U Chicken concept should be taken into a new direction. He created Cluck-U, Corp. and bought the rights to franchise future Cluck-U Chicken restaurants worldwide.
