Before they can get their hands on Cutty’s fried chicken sandwich, diners must prove their dedication, lining up before doors open to grab a bite of the dish served just once a month on Super Cluckin’ Sunday (save the date for the next one on Nov. 6). But the wait itself is half the fun. “It’s a cool scene,” says co-owner Rachel Kelsey. “In fact, it’s so cool, my own mother loves to come and wait in line. She likes the energy of the crowd.” Approximately 30 ingredients are used in each sandwich, from a secret blend of spices and herbs to the Bell & Evans chicken breasts that are brined overnight in tangy Kate’s Real Buttermilk and seasonings. Once fried, the chicken finds its place inside a toasted Iggy’s sesame brioche bun along with ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, onions and lettuce, plus the obligatory sides of housemade chips and seasonal hand pies.
