Former NBA player, Shaq O'Neil, opens another 'Big Chicken' restaurant in Fort Worth

Shaq O'Neal announced Tuesday that he will open another one of his "Big Chicken" restaurants in Fort Worth.

It's opening on Sept. third in the Alliance area near 35W and Heritage Trace Parkway and it'll be the first location in North Texas. He opened the first one in Vegas a few years ago saying it was all about "Fried chicken with cheese, pickles and hot sauce."

The first 34 people who walk in the door when they open next month will get free food and drinks for a year. 34 being in honor of his Lakers jersey number.

Shaquille O'Neal owns a house in North Texas and people spot him across the area.

There are three Big Chicken locations in the state: Austin, Houston, and Richmond, and one will open in Lubbock later this year.
