7 Monks' Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich
Tastemaker
Feb. 17, 2024
This writer continues on her quest for the perfect fried chicken sandwich in northern Michigan. (And man, there are a lot of good ones out there!) The latest to get a gold star: the creation on 7 Monks Taproom’s menu ($15). This sammie has it all: perfectly crisp chicken, a brioche bun, tangy pickles, and a side of shoestring fries. And let’s not forget the generous dose of Southern hot honey that elevates both spice and flavor. Pair it with one of 7 Monks’ Michigan brews, or step it up a notch with a glass of dry, lightly fruity sparkling wine. (Food & Wine says the bubbles and acidity balance out the fatty, salty crunch of the chicken. MAWBY’s Sex is sure to fit the bill!) Eat up at 128 South Union Street in Traverse City. 7monkstap.com
