Butter Is Launching Eight New Fried Chicken Sandwiches from Sydney's Best Chefs

Butter — Sydney's palace of fried chicken, sneakers, Champagne and ramen — is adding yet another layer to its already over-the-top offering: an eight-week run of limited edition chicken sandwiches. And even though Butter's chicken sandwich is a thing of legend in its own right, the kitchen has enlisted a gang of Sydney's best chefs to take the new additions to the next level.

Every Monday from March 4, the eatery will add a new fried chicken sammie to its menu that's been created by a guest chef. And the lineup is pretty impressive. You've got Restaurant Hubert's Dan Pepperell doing his take on a spicy chicken diavolo, a chicken banh mi from Chin Chin chef Graeme Hunt and Kerby Craig bringing his Ume Burger style in for a Japanese-influenced nanban roll. If you head in during week five, you'll score Andy Bowdy's sweet take on the brief: a white bread sandwich with salted caramel ice cream, peanut butter and chicken skins. Yep, chicken skins.

Kerby Craig's chicken nanban roll will be available for week three.

On top of that you've also got Butter's own Julian Cincotta bringing over a kebab-style sandwich from sister restaurant Thievery and Icebergs' Monty Koludrovic doing something special on the last week. Each sandwich will be available at both the Surry Hills and Parramatta stores for the week.

As always, there are no reservations at Butter, so be prepared to wait.
