Birch & Maple's BBQ Hot Fried Chicken

Tastemaker

Dec. 16, 2023

This isn’t the first time we’ve waxed poetic about a fried chicken dish at Birch & Maple. (The Crispy Chicken Sandwich on their brunch/lunch menu is worth the drive out to Frankfort every single time.) But this is the first time we’re talking about dinner, and that means we’re having the BBQ Hot Fried Chicken ($29). This meal is big enough to feed two, though you probably won’t want to share. Two pieces of juicy, crispy chicken are drizzled with in-house barbeque sauce—ask for an extra side of sauce and thank us later—and served atop creamy whipped potatoes. Pickles and pickled veggies finish off the dish, making this feel like the perfect combination of deconstructed sandwich and laid-back homestyle dinner. Pair it with a Caesar Wedge or a seasonal cup of soup and eat up at their cozy restaurant at 727 Main Street in Frankfort. birchandmaplefrankfort.com
