General Manager Nathan Mays couldn’t be more excited about hitting this decade-long milestone.
“We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our regular guests, long-term supporters, and even the new visitors who have made this journey possible,” he shared. “Their ongoing support, love for good food and drink, and shared passion for what we do have kept us going strong for a decade.”
It’s been a wild ride over the last 10 years. From navigating Geelong’s ever-evolving CBD to surviving the twists and turns of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Hot Chicken Project has stayed true to its roots, bringing that signature heat to the community.
“We’ve faced challenges that tested our resilience, but through it all, we’ve adapted, grown, and continued to bring our love for bold flavours and great hospitality to our community,” Nathan added.
But it hasn’t been all about overcoming obstacles. The Hot Chicken Project’s success is also about the incredible team behind it. “One of our greatest achievements has been the amazing team of staff we’ve been lucky enough to employ over the years. Their dedication, passion, and hard work have shaped what The Hot Chicken Project is today.”
And it’s not just about the local scene anymore — the fried chicken joint has spread its wings across the country with pop-up venues in Anglesea, Adelaide, and Ballarat.

To celebrate this exciting milestone, The Hot Chicken Project is throwing a party you won’t want to miss. Live tattoos will be inked all day by local legends Wade Johnstone, Lewis Hussey, Kurt Anthony, Amily Elizabeth, Dane M, and Chris Jones.
Plus, there’s a killer meat raffle on offer, and the bar will be serving up a stellar selection of Doom Juice wines to wash it all down.
This isn’t just about a birthday, though. “This milestone is more than just a birthday; it’s a testament to the resilience, passion, and community spirit that has defined The Hot Chicken Project for the past decade,” says Nathan.
So, if you love great food, bold flavours, and a bit of ink, this is the celebration for you. Head down to The Hot Chicken Project on 30 March and join the crew for an unforgettable day of fried chicken, tattoos, and a whole lot of love for the community that made it all possible.
