There’s a thread for fast food chicken sandwiches. This thread is for not fast food chicken sandwiches, whether they are from a restaurant or made at home.
My favourite is from Buckley’s in Belltown (Seattle). They have a ‘California Chicken Sandwich’: Grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, avocado (in reality, guacamole), tomato, and aioli on focaccia. I won’t be having them anymore unless I make them myself, since our office moved to Harbor Island and I can’t walk to Buckley’s anymore.
Funny, I was just thinking about chicken sandwiches ( after talking about them with a co-worker the other day ). I was thinking I might swing by Gregoire’s for their fried chicken sandwich with spicy slaw to go. Pretty darn tasty.
My favorite is the fried chicken sandwich from Bakesale Betty in Oakland.
Bakesale Betty is an interesting place. Their only seating is on the sidewalk outside the restaurant, where they’ve set up a bunch of small metal ironing boards for people to use as tables. They have a limited menu - they have a couple of types of sandwiches (fried chicken and egg salad) and a couple of baked items. There’s often a long line, but because their menu is so small they can use an assembly-line approach to get the food out quickly.
I’m guessing these fried chicken sandwiches are a breaded, non-processed, chicken breast with cole slaw on top? (Descriptions helpful. 
)
I just saw one on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. A chicken-fried chicken filet, topped with sausage gravy and some other things. Can’t recall the details, even though I saw it last night.
Maybe not what you had in mind, but I’m a big fan of the chicken paratha roll at Ravi Kabab House. The rest of their food is only average, though.
Yes. Gregoire’s.
I think Gregoire’s with its richer, creamier slaw and hot out of the fryer is a little better, but they are both pretty awesome. The fried-chicken-'n-slaw sandwich on a quality roll may be just about my favorite sandwich ever, though not exactly a heart health stand-out.
And I did go and get one to eat while watching the Oakland Raiders stink up the football field. Thankfully I’m a bigger sandwich fan than a football fan, so the day is going swimmingly ;).
OTOH, the 49ers are trouncing Dallas. Just the 1st Quarter, though, so I’ll knock on wood…
Chicken sandwich = horseradish
Mangled Yiddish “mit ein schmear of chrain”
Just a half-step above fast food but Foster’s Grill makes an outstanding chicken sandwich.
Back when I was a table waiting kind of gal, I fell in love with our restaurant’s chicken breast sandwiches, and it couldn’t be easier, so I starting making them at home. Marinate chicken breasts in bottled Italian salad dressing (or make your own if you’re that kind of cook) and when you want a sandwich, take out a breast, pound slightly as needed to even it out and cook it. You can grill it, broil it, griddle it, pan fry it or bake it. Serve on a kaiser roll or croissant or whatever makes your little heart skip a beat. Mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, whatever.
So stupidly simple, and so delicious.
