Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

What is it?

Buttermilk-battered chicken fillet, fried crisp and finished with a hot honey drizzle, sits with barrel-cured pickles on a toasted brioche bun. Sandwich leans on a sweet glaze with a chilli edge, so the coating, bun, and pickle brine all have something to do. It's part of the chicken sandwich line, but here the honey brings a sticky, peppery note that changes the balance. Bun is soft and slightly sweet, which helps carry the fillet without getting in the way. Hot honey combines the floral sweetness of regular honey with a capsaicin kick that lingers on the lips. Pickles are essential here, cutting through the sweetness with enough vinegar bite to reset your palate between mouthfuls.
