Taking a distinct step away from the classic chicken sandwich, the Smoked Chicken Sandwich from the Drift snack bar is a satisfying dish created by the Brooklyn-based bar.
The sandwich is created by smoking the chicken rather than frying or grilling it to create a smoky flavor that is evident throughout the cut of meat rather than just on the outside of each piece. The sandwich is topped with Alabama white sauce, which is a mayonnaise-based sauce that pairs perfectly with the smoky flavor of the chicken.
The Smoked Chicken Sandwich from the Drift is served on a soft bun and topped with pickles that make it almost like a barbecue-style sandwich that is hard to resist.
