"Some people find a handful of foods they like and stick to those for the duration of their lives. Others are willing to branch out and try even the most outrageous of ingredients. But there are some foods that fit neatly into both camps, and one of these is the venerable chicken sandwich. This food can be prepared simply, elaborately, or anything in between, which is why picking just one best chicken sandwich in each state was an arduous task."
"Even so, we persisted, and through careful research involving the personal experience of our staff, professional review sites that rated the chicken sandwiches in question, and Google reviews left by amateur chicken sandwich gourmands, we managed to put together something that resembles an exhaustive list of the top chicken sandwiches in our nation, while staying away from large chains. In particular, we focused on reviews and comments describing the chicken in mouthwatering terms, such as "juicy," "crispy," and "tasty.""
A nationwide selection names a top chicken sandwich for each U.S. state based on staff tasting, professional review sites, and public reviews. Venues receiving multiple favorable mentions were shortlisted, and those with rave feedback made the final cut. Selection prioritized sandwiches described as "juicy," "crispy," and "tasty." National chain restaurants were intentionally excluded to emphasize local shops. Some sandwiches distinguished themselves through unusual elements like waffles, biscuits, or house-made sauces. The process balanced personal experience with external reviews to capture the chicken sandwich's simple yet versatile appeal across diverse preparations.
