The Honey Butter Fried Chicken crew, with their tens of thousands of Instagram followers, will be hunkering down at Pizzana in Brentwood for a one-day collection of fried chicken sandwiches, including their O.G. with chicken strips and candied jalapeño mayo; a honey butter option; and a chicken parm sandwich collab with Pizzana chef/owner Daniele Uditi. The sandwiches will be available from lunch through dinner on that Monday, but for one day only.
