Origin stories

Chicken sandwiches have been a staple in American cuisine for many years, with variations found in different regions across the country. One interesting fact is that the first recorded chicken sandwich was made by a cook in 1765, who served seasoned chicken meat between two slices of bread to the patrons of a pub in London. This simple yet delicious creation has since evolved into countless versions, including the popular grilled chicken sandwich we enjoy today.
