America's fastest growing fast casual restaurant chain, Shake Shack, is cranking up the heat this fall with their limited edition Hot Chick’n sandwich.
For this spicy bird, Shake Shack slowly cooks all-natural chicken breast in a buttermilk marinade then slathers it in a house-made batter, dusts it with seasoned flour and fries it till golden crispy brown. The chicken is then dusted with a guajillo and cayenne pepper blend, nestled in a buttery potato bun and topped with tangy pickles and crunchy coleslaw.
Of all the chicken sandwiches we've recently tried, this one ranks towards the top as one of the best we've ever had! The fried chicken itself is perfection and the spice level is just enough that it doesn't overpower the delicate balance of flavors. The meat is juicy and tender inside while the generous coating is beautifully crisp and peppery. The sandwich overall has a delightful buttery finish and every ingredient works together to create a flavor and texture experience that is truly unforgettable.
We can only hope that Shake Shack makes the Hot Chick’n a regular menu item. Get yours while supplies last!
