Fried chicken is, by most accounts, pretty great on its own. But when you put it between two buns, add some delicious toppings and sauce, suddenly fried chicken goes to a whole new level.
Here are five finger-licking good fried chicken sandwiches you can find in Vancouver.
Village Bistro
Lemongrass Fried Chicken Sandwich (Lindsay William-Ross/Vancity Buzz)
Inspired by Village Bistro’s proximity to both a KFC and several Vietnamese restaurants, the West End restaurant has a sensational LFC Sandwich–that’s Lemongrass Fried Chicken. It’s like a hyper banh mi with a kapow flavour punch and a gorgeous heat. This is the kind of sandwich you crave in your belly.

Bao Down
They keep it pretty cheeky at Bao Down–par for the course for a place that specializes in steamed buns. Bao Down’s Bao Chicka Bao Bao!! is no exception: It’s fried lemongrass and garlic marinated free-range Fraser Valley chicken breast with a palm sugar and fish sauce glaze, in a bun with garlic scape mayo, cilantro, and pickled carrots and scallions.
