I mean, this is peak picnic season, these sandwiches were extremely called for, albeit not particularly well-timed. But hey, what can you do? They don’t have anything deep fried in them, which I realize is a 
Before I get to these Fried Chicken Sandwiches with Scotch Bonnet Marmalade Glaze and Coconut Slaw, I want to take you on a walk down memory lane. If you’re not so much about the walk or the lane but very much about the sandwich, feel free to scroll down to the recipe.
