Nashville hot chicken is a big food trend, and it’s easy to see why. Chicken sandwiches are a crowd-pleasing entrée. One of the newer spots in town where you can enjoy delicious chicken is Flew the Coop (FTC). The restaurant has recently relocated from Camp Verde to the Village of Oak Creek, and we’re personally thrilled that this beloved spot is much closer to us. The chicken is the star of the menu here. The menu is relatively simple and features sandwiches, chicken and waffles, a half-sized sandwich, a chicken Ceasar salad and a kid’s meal. After devouring the sandwiches here, you’ll see why FTC has such a devoted following. We loved how tender and moist this chicken was. Spice levels range from mild to wild.
We opted for mild, which had just enough heat to be appetizing but not enough to make the experience unpleasant. We started with the AZ Famous Chicken Sammie. This epic sandwich features the diner’s choice of tenders or boneless thighs (we went with the thighs), made with FTC’s spice blend, topped with chile-lime sauce for a Southwestern kick, pickles and the restaurant’s signature Comeback Sauce. Each bite was hearty and hot, but not overwhelming. Chicken portion sizes are generous and most appreciated. Everything was in between a thick brioche bun. The sandwich was served with fries that were crispy, airy and puffy.
Guests also can order a choice of tenders or thighs, chicken and waffles and even a single tender. If you’re looking to go up in spice levels, ordering one tender is a nice way to gradually ease up and try out a spice level. Sides are traditional and Southern. We personally dug the deviled egg potato salad, mac n’ cheese, fried okra and crisp fried pickles. Our personal favorite was the spiced just right and rich deviled egg potato salad. To finish up a meal here, FTC serves Vanilla Banana Pie and a M&M Chocolate Chip Cookie. The Vanilla Banana Pie was decadent, creamy and a literally cool way to finish up a meal at this local hot spot. − A Sedona Foodie
