Fried Chicken Sandwich comes in three levels of heat
Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken released new menu items for spring including The Asteroid Fried Chicken Sandwich. It features spicy fried chicken breast with bib lettuce, sliced pickles, jalapeño coleslaw, and comes drizzled with a choice of Comeback sauce or ranch dressing. Astro Doughnuts nestles all these ingredients inside a Brioche bun or doughnut bun. Customers can choose their heat level, also: Out of this World Hot, which is made with ghost pepper, Medium, prepared with habanero, and Mildish, made with cayenne
The Astro Doughnuts locations sell The Asteroid Fried Chicken Sandwich for $10.25. Their casual-dining sister, Astro Beer Hall on G Street in Washington, D.C., offers the versatile sandwich for $12.50 and serves it with a side of tater tots. The Brioche bun is only available at Astro Doughnuts in Falls Church and Astro Beer Hall.
