Local chicken sandwich food truck operation Chicky Sandos closed on a building on Burbank Drive, according to sales documents filed with the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court’s office this week.

Born during the pandemic, Chicky Sandos specializes in Nashville-style hot chicken sandwiches. Friends Daniel Vu, Naser Abudyak, Henry Nguyen and Jordan Duong brought the concept to Baton Rouge as a food truck in late 2020.

Co-owner Abudyak, through Chicky Sandos One LLC, bought the building on Burbank Drive, near the Gardere Lane intersection, for $425,000 from Jack Properties LLC, represented by Newell Jack. The Burbank Drive location was formerly an Empire Wingz.
