Funnel cakes are deep-fried carnival treats that are known for their distinctive makeup of crispy batter, powdered sugar and strawberry sugar, but Chase Field is now incorporating these sweet elements into a chicken funnel cake sandwich.
Although the idea of a funnel cake sandwich itself is not novel, this typically describes a sweet treat that is filled with ice cream. Chase Field's stadium snack introduces a crispy fillet of chicken, garlic black pepper cheddar, strawberry jam between chimney cakes that are topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar, served with a cup of maple syrup for dipping.
The sweet and savory Funnel Cake Chicken Sandwich is a new take on traditional stadium snacks that is set to become a must-try item where the Arizona Diamondbacks play.
