It’s a meal that makes sense when it comes from a food truck and when it’s served on china at a fancy restaurant. It tastes just as good smothered with cheese, sauce, and pickles as it does at its most simple. Somehow, it is both lowbrow and highbrow, but it’s so delicious it doesn’t really matter. It’s the three most beautiful words in the English language: fried chicken sandwich.

Whether it’s David Chang’s recipe, a West Coast offshoot of a famed Nashville version, or a uniquely local take on a classic, here are 15 must-try chicken sandwiches in Las Vegas.

Putting the word “vegan” in front of chicken sandwich can be a controversial move, but at Flippin’ Good the crispy vegan chicken sandwich is that rare bird that really is just as good as the real thing. Served with vegan Flippin’ sauce, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, it’s an especially crispy take on fried chicken. Carnivores will be happy to know that the restaurant also offers plenty of fried chicken sandwiches, tenders, and bites made with actual meat.

The Crack Shack

A savory chicken sandwich and a patio with a view of the Las Vegas Strip — what could be closer to heaven? The Crack Shack at Park MGM is a California export from celebrity chef Richard Blais, who believes in elevating the simple fried chicken sandwich by offering upscale toppings such as miso-maple butter and shishito pepper relish. The Coop Deville sandwich, which is topped with pickled Fresno chiles, lime mayo, and Napa cabbage is the perfect example of Blais’ mission. Diners should save room for an order of crispy chicken oysters on the side.
