Leghorn Chicken

Leghorn Chicken on Western Ave in Ukrainian Village opened earlier this month to a lot of hype. When they opened, they sold out of chicken in just 90 minutes. We wanted to see what the big deal was, so we showed up the other day and got in line.

There are 3 steps to order a chicken sandwich at Leghorn Chicken. You have to choose the style, cut, and bread. Each choice has 2 options. Step 1: Nashville Hot or Pickle Brined. Step 2: Breast or Thigh. Step 3: Housemade Bun or Buttermilk Biscuit. Then you can add extras and/or sauces. The sauces come on the side, which I like. I ordered a Nashville Hot Thigh on a Buttermilk Biscuit with Spicy Mayo.



I found the sandwich to be really hot, so I was happy about the self-serve free water near the counter. My partner placed a similar order to mine and didn't think it was hot, so I guess that's just a matter of taste. I wanted to get fries on the side, but they were already sold out for the day. From what I've read, selling out of menu items is common at Leghorn Chicken. They sell out of chicken every day, which is when they close, so get there early.

It's cash only, but there's an ATM inside. I really like these types of places. They're not really "hole-in-the-wall" places, but they're simple, casual, and popular to locals. Check out their "About" page on their website, and if you're anything like me, it will make you like them even more. We'll be back.
