Chef Carrie and Peggy love making this Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich. It's a lunch favorite that's become a summertime tradition. The sandwich has it all with a combination of bold flavors. The batter is lightly spicy, thickly packed on, and fried for the ultimate crunch, then topped with briny dill pickles, and sandwiched in a soft bun slathered with sweet honey butter. You'll enjoy a fresh Local Corn and Tomato Salad, and finish with a fun, nostalgic dessert, Homemade Hostess Cupcakes. Wine and beer will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle.
