Crimson Coward caters halal Nashville hot chicken for offices — big trays of tenders, sandwiches, wings, sides and dessert that feed the whole team, orderable online in a few minutes. Every item is 100% halal certified at all 20 locations across 6 states, so you can order one lunch that everyone at the table can actually eat. No side menu, no “sorry, not that one,” no awkward opt-outs.
If you’ve ever tried to feed a whole office and watched half the room quietly pass on the main dish, you already know the problem catering is supposed to solve. Here’s how we solve it.
Why halal catering is the safe choice for a mixed team
The best office lunch is the one where nobody has to check the label. When your spread is fully halal, it just works — for coworkers who eat halal, and for everyone standing next to them too. Halal chicken is still chicken. It tastes the same to the person who wasn’t thinking about it, and it means something to the person who was.
That’s the quiet advantage of ordering halal for a group: it’s the most inclusive default you can pick. One order covers the whole room instead of splitting it into “the main tray” and “the person who has to go find something else.” For a team lunch, an onboarding day, or a client meeting, that difference is the whole point.
And this is where Crimson Coward is different from a lot of chicken you might order for the office. We’re 100% halal certified, consistently — every location, every item, no exceptions. Not “halal at some stores.” Not “let me check with the manager.” Some places make you verify it branch by branch; with us there’s nothing to verify, because the answer never changes. Pair that with our sourcing — fresh never frozen, non-GMO, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, all-natural chicken from a direct relationship with the farmer — and you’re serving food that’s genuinely better, not just compliant. You can read more on our Our Chicken sourcing page.
What’s on the catering menu?
The short version: the food people already love off our full menu, packaged into trays built for a crowd. You’re not getting a stripped-down “catering edition” — you’re getting the real thing, scaled up.
- Tender trays — our fresh, crispy Nashville hot tenders, the easiest crowd-pleaser and the safest bet for a big mixed group.
- Sandwich trays — including The Crimson: boneless chicken breast, Crimson Sauce, house-made slaw, pickles, all on a toasted brioche bun. This is no ordinary chicken sandwich.
- Nashville hot wing trays — for the team that likes to get their hands messy.
- Sides — mac & cheese, loaded Joey-Eat-Fries, slaw and more, in shareable pans.
Every tray carries our proprietary Crimson Rub, applied a full 24 hours before cooking, and you set the heat. We run the full spice range — from no-heat all the way to extreme — so you can order a couple of mild trays for the cautious folks and something fierier for the people who live for it. When in doubt for a group, order mostly mild-to-medium and let the brave self-select. See the full spice-level guide if you want to dial it in.
How do I order office catering from Crimson Coward?
Ordering is built to take a few minutes, not a few emails. Head to our catering page to start an order, or place it through ezCater, where you can browse trays, get a headcount-based quote, and schedule delivery to your office. Pick your trays, set your spice levels, choose a delivery time, and you’re done.
A few practical notes for planning:
- Lead time: we ask for roughly `[confirm]` notice so the kitchen can prep properly — the more heads-up you give us, the smoother it goes, especially for large or same-week orders.
- Delivery: available at all 20 locations (more on cities below), so wherever your team sits, there’s a Crimson Coward nearby to cater it.
- Payment & invoicing: handled through the catering flow — convenient for expense reports and recurring team lunches.
How much food should I order per person?
A good rule of thumb for a working lunch: plan on roughly `[confirm per-head guidance]` per person, then add a little cushion — people always eat more of good chicken than they think they will. Mixing tray types (some tenders, some sandwiches, a couple of sides) usually feeds a group better than betting everything on one item.
On budget, our catering trays run roughly $40–$220 each `[confirm]`, depending on the tray and how many people it serves. Smaller side and dessert pans sit at the lower end; the big protein trays that anchor a full team lunch sit toward the top. For an exact quote based on your headcount, the catering page and ezCater will price it out for you — no guessing required.
If you’re feeding a small team, a couple of tender or sandwich trays plus a side and a dessert usually does it. For a bigger floor or an all-hands, mix several protein trays across a couple of spice levels and add extra sides.
