"At Daybird in Virgil Village, the hot chicken sandwich looks less like the Nashville classic and more like a large serving of spicy Chongqing chicken. Rather than receiving several coatings of dry rub and chili oil, these boneless chicken breasts are dipped in oil that’s seasoned with chiles de arbol and Sichuan peppercorns. This sandwich is a bit deceiving because it doesn’t look blatantly spicy from its golden brown skin. However, don’t be fooled because the chicken packs a serious Sichuan kick. Daybird’s hot chicken sandwich has quickly become one of our lunchtime go-to’s with its sharp slaw consisting of chives, red peppers, and crunchy cabbage to complement the juicy chicken, which is some of the best we’ve had in a long time." - sylvio martins
