A Chicken sandwich is a type of sandwich that typically consists of a chicken (either roasted, grilled, or fried) enclosed by two pieces of bread or a single folded piece, often a bun.

Pronunciation

IPA: /ˈtʃɪkɪn ˈsændwɪtʃ/

Etymology

The term "chicken sandwich" is a combination of the English words "chicken" and "sandwich". The word "chicken" comes from the Old English "cicen", meaning a young fowl. The word "sandwich" is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, although it is unclear whether he was the true inventor of this food form.

Description

A chicken sandwich typically consists of a boneless, skinless breast of chicken served between slices of bread, on a bun, or on a roll. Variations of the chicken sandwich include the chicken burger or chicken slider, both of which are essentially smaller versions of the full-sized sandwich. The sandwich may also include toppings such as lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, or other condiments.
