The best fried chicken sandwich in Tucson should taste like it was made in Tucson, and that is the idea behind the Tuxon Chix menu. Our sandwiches start with crispy all-natural chicken, then pick up guacamole, Hatch green chilis, pickled onions and fresh jalapeños. The Sonoran is the one to order if you want that local flavor in a single bite.
What Is on The Sonoran?
The Sonoran is $9 and comes with crispy chicken, mayo, bacon strips, tomatoes, pickled onions, fresh jalapeños and guacamole. The richness of the bacon and guacamole plays against the sharp onions and the bite of the jalapeño, so no single ingredient runs the show.
Which Sandwich Is Best If You Want It Simple?
The Classic is $5 and keeps things straightforward with mayo, pickles and lettuce. It is the most honest test of a chicken sandwich because there is nothing to hide behind. The Tuxon, at $6, adds our signature Tuxon Sauce and sweet pickled relish.
Which Sandwiches Bring the Heat?
El Picante is our spiciest build, with spicy mayo, ghost pepper seasoning, jalapeño slaw and sweet pickled relish for $7. The Hot Honey is $8 and gets tossed in house-made habanero honey sauce before it meets the pickles and jalapeño slaw.
The Wildcat lands somewhere between comfort and heat. It stacks spicy mayo, bacon strips, tomato, red onions, Hatch green chilis, pepper jack and lettuce for $9, and it is a fitting order on a Wildcats game day.
Is There Anything You Won’t Find at a Chain?
The Tikka Masala sandwich is a good answer to that question. The chicken is doused in our house tikka masala sauce and finished with tomatoes, red onions and lettuce for $9. Fried chicken and tikka masala turn out to be very good friends.
The Asiago Parmesan is the other surprise, built with asiago cream sauce, a parmesan crisp and shredded parmesan.
How Do You Choose?
Start with what you are craving. Go with The Sonoran for local flavor, El Picante for serious heat or the Tikka Masala for something new. If you are torn between a sandwich and a burger, we have settled that debate already. Any sandwich becomes a meal with fries and a drink for $4.50.
