There’s nothing like a fried chicken sandwich to put a giant smile on a sandwich lover’s face.

Whether it’s tucked between two pieces of white bread or stuffed into a toasted and buttered bun, the combination of crispy, craggy coating and juicy, tender breast or thigh meat is a pinnacle of handheld eating—at once both incredibly comforting and immensely satisfying. Calories be damned!
