From classic fried chicken sandwiches topped with lettuce, tomato, and onions at Lucy’s Fried Chicken to sweet chili combinations at Thai Fresh to hot and spicy flavors at T22, Austin’s fried chicken sandwich offerings are guaranteed to please just about any crunchy chicken preference. This update adds Spicy Boys.
