What is a Chicken Club Sandwich?
Allrecipes explains that the club sandwich likely originated in New York and may have been so named because it was served at social clubs. However, the exact construction and components of chicken club recipes may vary slightly from one creator or location to the next. To highlight some of the traditional components and common variations of this sandwich, we’ll further explore the two different chicken clubs available at Freddy’s, the Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich and the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich.
The Bread: Three layers of toasted bread often distinguish a club sandwich from other types of sandwiches. Although the chicken clubs at Freddy’s don’t model the traditional two-story sandwich style, they do feature a toasted bun or the option for layers of lettuce via the selection of a lettuce wrap instead of a bun.
The Meat: Traditional club sandwiches often include more than one type of meat. Turkey and chicken frequently serve as the main meat for this component. Although both of our sandwiches feature chicken breast, our spicy version offers a crispy, golden brown chicken breast instead of the commonly used grilled chicken, which appears on our other sandwich. Bacon also comes standard on our sandwiches, as it frequently does on clubs.
The Toppings: In terms of toppings, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise are classic choices for a chicken club and are included on both versions of this sandwich at Freddy’s. However, it’s not uncommon for other toppings like cheese, like the Swiss cheese on our chicken clubs, pickles or other condiments to be included. At Freddy’s, guests also have the option to customize their chicken clubs with other toppings, as they are able to do with steakburgers and frozen custards.
5 Chicken Club Sandwich Recipes to Try
In addition to trying the chicken clubs available at the Freddy’s near you, you might also want to explore making different chicken club sandwich recipes at home. In the recipes collected below, you’ll find more traditional sandwiches as well as some unique chicken club-inspired creations to consider.
1. Try a classic preparation. Budget Bytes walks home cooks through the cooking and assembling process of a chicken club sandwich. However, customization options are also included for use, whether during your first attempt or at another time!
2. Amp up your mayo and add potato chips. In this chicken club from the Food Network Kitchen, the layers of this sandwich align with its familiar construction. Otherwise, there is some reimagining in terms of the usual components. For example, herbs and other ingredients enhance the mayonnaise, which is then directly combined with chopped chicken pieces. Potato chips are incorporated into the sandwich for extra crunch and salt and recommended as a side.
3. Make it a salad. Forget about a stack of distinctive sandwich layers in this dish from The Kitchn. Instead, expect changes such as the bread component taking the form of croutons and mayonnaise serving as the foundation of a dressing. Despite the alterations and the difference in serving format, the other ingredients are mostly traditional!
4. Incorporate a surprise seasoning. Detailing the experience of making a chicken club, this piece by Parade includes a seasoning selection that may be a game changer for your future sandwiches. As the author notes, it’s likely that you may already have a packet of it hanging around in your kitchen cabinets!
5. Swap the bread for pasta! While it deviates from traditional sandwich form (and does not include any bread at all), this recipe from Allrecipes includes several familiar flavor components of a chicken club. It also features some other elements, such as a cheese and avocado, that are popular in chicken club sandwich recipes.
