I will never forget where I was when I sank my teeth into this D to the LISH chicken sandwich. Carl and I were up in Traverse City visiting Mama Joan and we went to a fun place called “Rare Bird” for dinner. Once I saw this sandwich on the menu, it was safe to stop hunting for my dinner because there it was! The flavor of the fried chicken sandwich with the honey and curried slaw was pure perfection and I immediately began spinning my wheels with how to recreate this masterpiece of a sandwich. I wanted to make it a touch healthier, so I went with the air fry option for these chicken sandwiches and they turned out wonderful! A little drizzle of my favorite hot honey from Trader Joe’s and a plop of curried slaw on top and I was transported right back to that first bite experience this past Summer. It’s an easy recipe to make and I encourage you to give this fella a try! You’ll be making it on repeat!
