Fresh Coast Sliders' Hot Chicken

Tastemaker

Oct. 4, 2025

We love a trip to the Back Lot in Charlevoix, complete with a tray full of sammies from Fresh Coast Sliders. (And the onion rings—don’t forget those.) Now, if you look a little closer at the photo above, you’ll see our favorite of their offerings—the Hot Chicken ($5)—tucked in the top row on either side of the ketchup. Here’s what you need to know: the chicken is crispy and piping hot. The hot sauce (a buttery cajun blend) and comeback sauce (a tangy mayo blend) work perfectly. The Martin’s potato roll is soft and sweet. And you might just want to ask for a side of pickles, because they’re that good. Enjoy with a rotating craft lemonade and pretend it’s still summertime as you look out over the marina. Eat up at 230 Ferry Ave. in Charlevoix. fcsliders.com
