The Best Chicken Sandwiches in South Florida

The original My Favorite Chicken Sandwiches in South Florida list escaped from my brain and taste buds in February 2016. I was tired of “top” and “best” lists that were incomplete or a little too political to include things like fast food.

In the opinion of this Burger Beast, you can’t make a “real” great chicken sandwich list without including some of the offerings from places like Miller’s Ale House or Popeyes.

This is a real list for real people, not for those preoccupied with what a small vocal part of social media has to say. The chicken sandwiches listed below are great, and if you haven’t tried them all well, you’ve got some work to do.

  1. You need to try the Nashville chicken sandwich at puttshack. Best one in Miami. I know that’s insane to say but try it.
