National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day

November 9th is National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day in the United States.

The fried chicken sandwich is usually a piece of boneless, skinless chicken breast served as a sandwich. It can be served in bread, in a roll or in a bun. In a fried chicken sandwich, the chicken is, of course, fried; this will normally be in some sort of crumb or batter. The chicken piece is often served with other items; salad, pickles and mayonnaise are common additions. Chicken sandwiches are often associated with fast food restaurants; most places that sell burgers will also sell chicken sandwiches as an alternative, and then there are those restaurants that specialise in chicken. The American chain Chick-fil-A claims to have invented the fried chicken sandwich in the 1940s, though this is unsubstantiated. They are the fast food restaurant who are most likely to have introduced a fried chicken sandwich.
