Slim Chicken's new lineup of Craft Chicken Sandwiches consists of four different sandwich combos, each made with 100% all-natural fried chicken breast and served on a butter toasted Brioche bun. Each of the sandwiches is meant to serve as a gourmet twist on the classic, buttermilk-marinated fried chicken breast sandwich every other chain offers. More specifically, one of the new offerings is the Craft Buffalo Ranch Sandwich, which pairs a fried chicken breast with the brand’s tangy Buffalo sauce, layers of crispy fried onions, lettuce, dill pickles, and cool Ranch-infused Mayo. Other options include the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, [Craft Cayenne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otw-by-vans-x-neighborhood) Ranch Sandwich, and Craft Chicken Club Sandwich.
