Plucked Chicken & Beer, the poultry concept from the folks behind Sauced BBQ, will start frying in Livermore today.
It’s the third location for the counter-service eatery that owners Barrett Gomes and Brenden Scanlan launched in San Ramon in 2018 and then expanded to Pleasanton in 2019.
Plucked joins the flagship Sauced BBQ on Livermore’s First Street — but it’s located at the other end of the downtown strip, in the former Cloud 9 Pizza space.
Plucked offers several versions of fried chicken sandwiches — many with a little heat — on brioche buns. The Rooster tops the chicken with sharp cheddar, applewood-smoked bacon, a cage-free over-easy egg and house pepper jelly. Others include a Sticky Chicky Asian-style sandwich, the Buff Chick with blue cheese queso and buffalo sauce and a Naughty Nash riff on Nashville chicken. New to the menu is the Flaming Mo, a chicken sandwich topped with ghost pepper cheese, pickled jalapeño and sweet heat slaw.
You’ll also find fried chicken combos with biscuits; Nashville hot wings; salads with grilled chicken; chicken and waffles; and chicken tacos.
A dozen beers are available on tap.
Details: Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at 2062 First St., Livermore. www.pluckedchickenandbeer.com
