BROOKFIELD, CT — Birdcode is coming to Brookfield.
Greg Dembowski, the town’s economic development director, said a franchise of the “fast casual” fried chicken chain will move into the 2,000-square-foot space just shuttered by Burger King at 46 Federal Road.
“They will be submitting their plans to the building dept and hope to open in the spring of 2025,” Dembowski said in an email to Patch.

The cluckers are on tear in Connecticut. Birdcode opened its first restaurant in West Hartford in 2020, followed by another in Darien this past January, and a third in Vernon, last July.
Boasting of “recipes from the heart made from scratch,” Birdcode uses farm-fresh, 100 percent air-chilled, never frozen, steroid and antibiotic-free chicken that must meet certain specifications, according to its website.

Guests can choose their heat level for chicken sandwiches, tenders or “Code Bites.” Heat level options range from country, mild and medium, to hot and code breaker, i.e., “eat at your own risk.”
