The best part of game day food is arguably that there's no pretense involved. You dig into nachos and wings with reckless abandon -- goodbye forks; goodbye knives; nice to know you serving utensils. Spoons? We'll allow them so long as chili is involved. Because when there's a national title on the line, you need the kind of food that's easy, self-contained, and eaten with little more than your hands and a few napkins for good measure.
This game day, save yourself some time, stress, and cutlery and put chicken sandwiches on the menu. Throw in some homemade potato chips and a good beer cocktail, and you're all set. Here are 6 chicken sandwich recipes to carry into the end zone this Sunday:
