Tops BBQ Fire-Braised Chicken

Tops BBQ Fire-Braised Chicken

Recently, I tried the new Fire-Braised Chicken Sandwich with Memphis white sauce at Tops BBQ. I was impressed with the delicious taste when I first tried it. However, I have noticed that with some new menu items, the quality tends to decline over time. Therefore, I decided to create my own copycat version of the sandwich.

Making this sandwich is actually quite easy. The sauce is similar to Alabama white sauce, with a creamy texture and a slight spicy kick. Overall, the flavor profile is really good and definitely worth trying.

Brushetta with Tomato and Basil

Brushetta with Tomato and Basil

Bruschetta refers to the bread. Just the bread. Whatever goes on top is just extra.
The word bruschetta is Italian, and it s derived from the verb bruscare. That means to char or toast. Bruschetta is a word that the Italians invented to describe stale sliced bread which had been toasted and doused in olive oil, garlic, and salt. The tomato topping commonly associated with bruschetta isn’t a part of its traditional meaning, but in modern times it has. It includes diced tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil, and sometimes mozzarella cheese.

Cucumber Sandwiches

Cucumber Sandwiches

The traditional cucumber sandwich is thin slices of cucumber placed between thin slices of crustless lightly buttered white bread. The sandwich originated in the UK, and modern variants introduced cream cheese.
 
I learned this much when you make these sandwiches ahead of time, make sure you cover the sandwiches with a wet paper towel. That way they won’t dry out.
