Nashville Chicken Sandwich

Common Bond
Montrose, 1706 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77006

The Nashville Chicken Sandwich is the reason many Houstonians visit Common Bond, although there are many good reasons to visit this Montrose bakery. The spicy, super crispy chicken breast served on a soft, toasted bun is topped with a brussel sprouts slaw and garlic aioli. Try it and you’ll see why it’s a local favorite.

At this Nashville hot chicken food truck, a fried chicken breast is served on a toasted bun topped with slaw, mayo, pickles, and Mico’s sauce. For maximum heat, choose your chicken X-Hot. Don’t dare? Don’t worry! Mico’s also serves its chicken with no heat, mild, medium, and hot.

Ten Chicken Sandwich

Bismillah Café
Sharpstown, 5696 Hillcroft St, Houston, TX 77036

Bismillah Café’s Ten Chicken Sandwich may look unassuming but this baby packs some serious heat. The perfectly crisp bird topped in the restaurant’s signature ten-spice sauce is served on a wheat bun with Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato. Believe us; it’s worth a try.

Fried Chicken Sandwich

FM Kitchen & Bar
Washington Corridor, 1112 Shepherd Dr., Houston, TX 77007

Simple and deeply satisfying is how we’d describe the fried chicken sandwich at FM Kitchen & Bar. Served with pickles and a touch of sweet agave butter, it’s a strong contender to FM Kitchen’s highly popular burgers. If you want a little heat, the menu also has a spicy fried chicken sandwich with cheese, pickled jalapeños, lettuce and tomato.
