    Fried Chicken Sandwich

You don’t want stuff that will be gross cold, or be totally soggy, and or be hard to eat. It’s kind of a hard choice. You also have to make sure you bring all the necessary accessories. It sucks so bad if you go and forget to bring napkins. Huge bummer. I am excited because today we have a really good picnic sandwich. It’s a family style Fried Chicken Sandwich. We used Challah bread, which I think works out really well because it’s denser bread, and won’t get all nasty and soggy. I would pair this sandwich with some crispy kettle chips. You get those two and you have an amazing picnic on your hands.

      Fried chicken is one of my favorite things to eat when on a picnic or a day on the beach. I bet using challah bread would step it up another notch. Perfect!

      So funny. I’ve been saying Fried Chicken Sandwiches are the new Burger. Have been OBSESSED with them this summer—actively seeking them out. And that’s not the easiest of quests when the most convenient source is a place I don’t frequent. Anyway. Thanks for reminding me I could just be making my own. Duhhh. Extra pickles and onion, please! And YES to those Kettle Chips ;-)

      I never though of using challah as a sandwich bread but it does make sense. The tight crumb will hold the sauces and juicy meat better. Also the eggness of this bread will match the fried chicken.
      SO creative!
