Here are my picks for the top fried chicken sandwiches in Toronto.

Porchetta & Co.
The King West location makes the fried chicken sandwich a menu staple, while the original outpost Dundas offers it as a sometimes special. It features buttermilk-fried chicken on a Petite Thuet bun with lettuce, pickles and a creamy herb sauce. Photo by Jesse Milns.

On King West, the Kentucky Handshake Sandwich positively beckons... literally; it has claws that gesture in a come hither kind of way. With Buffalo hot sauce flavours, the sandwich also has iceberg lettuce and mayo to mellow everything out. Photo by @thehotb.
