Pretty Bird

Salt Lake City may not come to mind as a Nashville-style hot chicken destination, but Pretty Bird has built a legit hot chicken empire around town. Ordering from the restaurant’s iPad station is simple, as they only really do one thing: fried chicken sandwiches. Each boneless chicken thigh comes double battered, buttermilk brushed, and coated in flour before being pressure fried to create a crackly crunch. It’s held together on a buttered bun and topped with coleslaw, pickles, and Pretty Bird sauce, making for a great casual meal, even if you might have to wait in line (it moves quickly).
