Yes. Our chicken is supplied through the Mountaire Farms halal poultry program, which is certified by Halal Food Council U.S.A. Here is what that covers:
| What | How it is handled |
|---|---|
| The chicken | Slaughtered under a halal program certified by Halal Food Council U.S.A. at USDA-inspected facilities. The current certificate runs 12 February 2026 to 11 February 2027. |
| The slaughter | By Muslim slaughtermen, with the blessing recited and a Muslim supervisor present. The certificate specifies a mechanical single-blade knife. |
| The spice paste | Made without lard. Traditional Nashville hot chicken paste uses pork fat; ours does not. |
| The kitchens | Pork-free at every store, so no shared fryer or prep surface with pork. |
| The certificate | It belongs to the supplier’s program and covers the chicken as supplied. The restaurants themselves are not separately certified. |
For the full explanation, read our halal food page, or why most Nashville hot chicken is not halal.
Not every restaurant that says “halal” means the same thing. These five questions work anywhere, and we are happy to be asked them:
| Ask this | A clear answer sounds like |
|---|---|
| Who certifies the chicken? | A named certifier, and a supplier you can look up |
| Is the certificate the restaurant’s or the supplier’s? | It says which, and what it covers |
| How is it slaughtered? | Hand or mechanical knife, and who says the blessing |
| Is there pork in the kitchen or fryer? | No pork anywhere, so no shared surfaces |
| What is in the marinade or spice paste? | A full list, with no lard or alcohol-based flavoring |

No. Asad’s is a restaurant, so the halal chicken is hand-breaded and fried to order rather than sold raw. For raw chicken to cook at home, a local halal butcher or grocer is the place to ask.
