Just when it seems we’ve been there and done that with the fried chicken sandwich — didn’t we peak with Popeye’s 2019 hot take? — Bay Area chefs are rolling out more signature styles from extra hot and sour versions on Dutch crunch buns to those using chicken thighs first brined in pickles for 48 hours.
Of course, fried chicken sandwiches are nothing new; they’ve been on menus at other restaurants such as mom-and-pop shop Bakesale Betty in Oakland, which debuted its now famous sandwich nearly 20 years ago.
