Crispy Chicken Sandwich stacked with crispy golden chicken, the best sauce, and all the fixings on a buttery toasted bun.
My oldest is hands down my toughest food critic. And the all-time favorite? A crispy chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A (lol). Every meal I make gets compared to that sandwich.
This Asian Chicken Bowl actually got second place behind the Chick-Fil-A sandwich, which I’ll take! But I was determined to beat it! So I tried making my own version of his favorite sandwich at home.
And guess what? He said it was just as good—maybe even better. Finally, a win for mom! Haha!
