Got a Budlong hot chickenmedium thigh. Got my husband a budlong hot breast lol. Seriously SO DELICIOUS. Made for order, chicken was crunchy, my medium was spicy but not inedible. Hubby said hot was very good but he likes super hot stuff. Sandwiches were so flavorful and the pickles, sauce, slaw added just made the combo perfect.
