Hop Lot's Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Tastemaker
Nov. 30, 2024

Important PSA! The Spicy Chicken Sandwich ($15) is back on the menu at Hop Lot, and that means two things. One, that the quiet season has arrived for us locals. (Hooray!) And two, that you’re about to experience fried chicken perfection. This bad boy isn’t too spicy—a Hop Lot beer should be on hand, of course—but it does get a kick from the jalapeño lime slaw and house-made hot sauce that the chicken is dipped in before arriving on a brioche bun. Pro tip: Level up from the kettle chips to the Cajun Fries, which are crispy and flavorful and…might be our favorite fries in northern Michigan? (We’re happy to sample others—please send your suggestions for this very important research.) Eat up at 658 S W Bay Shore Drive in Suttons Bay. hoplotbrewing.com
