"The quest for fried chicken sandwich glory, specifically ones with some kick, is a saturated battlefield. While there is a range of spice levels at Eugene’s Hot Chicken, the sandwich isn't just piquant for piquancy's sake. Two massive tenders are fried to crackling perfection and one bite reveals white meat that is so moist it glistens. What sets this sandwich off is that the layers of spice, smokiness, and acidity don't sit atop the chicken's exterior. Those layers also penetrate the inside of the tenders with gusto. A little coleslaw, pickles, and a fluffy potato bun combine the whole thing for a massive bite. No one looks cute eating it, but everyone looks fantastic enjoying it. Bonus points if you get it with the fried pickled okra as a side!" - Alexandra Domrongchai
