Elevated Smoked Chicken Sandwiches

Chick N Max's New Sandwiches Feature Smoked Almond Wood Chicken

— October 18, 2020 — Lifestyle
This fall, Chick N Max is rolling out four new gourmet chicken sandwiches that feature either the chain's signature smoked almond wood chicken or two perfectly fried chicken tenders.

Chick N Max is already known for its tasty chicken offerings, but now there are four new elevated chicken sandwiches available that offer a better chicken sandwich experience. These sandwiches either feature the chain's smoked almond wood chicken, or fried chicken tenders topped with gourmet condiments like hot honey sriracha, jalapeno cream sauce, and creamy coleslaw. As Chick N Max Founder Max Sheets explains, “We’re upping our chicken game with four new additions to our popular sandwich menu. We’ve brought on noted Chef Robert Kabakoff to help us create gourmet flavor profiles that will help differentiate us in the industry."
