Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Bacon Cheddar Waffle SandwichIt goes without saying that chicken and waffles are a hot item right now. So why is it that I seldom see chicken between the waffles? And furthermore, why has it taken so long for someone to develop a bacon cheddar waffle?! This recipe from Cooking with Janica is about as tasty as it gets from the waffles down to the chicken each ingredient in this recipe truly shines.

Ultimate Bacon Ranch Fried Chicken Club SandwichOK, so ask yourself, what makes a sandwich "the ultimate," in your book? Is it fresh cut ingredients like tomato and lettuce? Double stacked cheeses like colby jack on top of blue cheese? Is it perhaps a crunchy buttermilk fried chicken base? Bacon? a Fried Egg? or the pretzel bun?! Or perhaps, it's the combination of all those things together! The Sandwiches Expert, MacKenzie Smith, from About, strikes again with another insanely good chicken sandwich.

Chicken Parm SandwichesNow if you can't tell from the photo - this recipe is for multiple sandwiches, and would make for a great party platter. This classic chicken parm sandwich from Serious Eats is made on a sturdy ciabatta loaf, selected to match the crunchiness of the fried chicken. The sandwich is topped with sauce and fresh grated mozzarella to give it that fresh Italian taste.

Chicken Po'boyIf you've never been to Lousiana you may not be familiar with this classic! Originally made from scraps and given out for free to the working class (hence the name po'boy!) this southern staple is one of my favorites. This recipe, also from About, features a mixture of light and dark meat chicken, deep fried and placed on a french baguette, topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo! It also goes exceptionally well with a course creole mustard!
