Chicken Shack

What is it?

Whole chicken breast gets breaded and fried until the coating is crisp and golden, then lands on a potato roll with lettuce, pickles, and buttermilk herb mayo. It's Shake Shack's main fried chicken sandwich, built from a whole-muscle cut rather than a formed patty, so the meat runs thicker and a bit uneven in shape. Compared with the brand's burgers, the sauce shifts from ShackSauce to a tangier herb mayo. Like the rest of the Shake Shack lineup, the chicken comes from birds raised with no antibiotics ever. You can order it on its own or as part of a combo with fries and a drink.
