2. Pulled chicken, sauced as you like it on a fresh split & toasted roll. Can be simple, or dressed with shaved cabbage, coleslaw, pickled peppers, julienned carrots & radishes…

4. Sliced roasted chicken deli sandwich dressed the way you like it.
5. That pure dark meat chicken roasted in the skin then pulled apart and served on a split oblong roll with caramelized onions, or fried corn, or Mississippi caviar…
