Just when you thought the chicken sandwich wars might have been dying down, Church's Chicken has thrown its hat in the ring with its new Church ’s Chicken Sandwich and Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
To set itself apart from the other chicken sandwiches on the market, Church ’s Chicken Sandwich starts with a white-meat chicken breast filet that's been hand-breaded in the chain's proprietary homestyle seasoning and a hint of buttermilk. The chicken is then cooked until golden and crispy, and paired with the brand’s signature honey-butter, crunchy pickles, and a dollop of mayo. The whole thing is also served on a pillowy-soft, toasted brioche bun for a touch of sweetness. And if you prefer a bit of heat, there's also a Spicy Chicken Sandwich made with spicy mayo and served with a signature jalapeño pepper on the side.
