5 fried chicken sandwiches to try in Vancouver

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

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.
