In an issue of Lucky Peach magazine, there was an article about foods that benefit from being chilled in the fridge overnight. The fried chicken rated the highest and got me thinking about other refrigerated leftovers that I love. They include cold sausage, pizza and meatballs. I will happily eat these in a sandwich, but mostly I just stand by the fridge with the door open and snack while keeping an eye out so I don’t get busted by Beci.
With this sandwich, no more sneakiness is needed – it stands up in its own right. The smoked maple syrup is optional and will flip the taste completely. Of course, you can totally eat the fried chicken hot, but I prefer it cold in this sandwich. This is also the only time that I will say a light brioche roll is pretty ideal.
