The humble chicken sandwich has taken a star turn of late. But few approach the high-low deliciousness of executive chef Megan Vaughan’s fried chicken sliders at the new Rare Lounge at Encore Boston Harbor in Everett. The pair of palm-sized sandwiches each sport a piece of well-breaded and deep-fried thigh meat, topped with a house-made buttermilk dressing kicked up with kimchi, sriracha, and herbs, along with a spicy cabbage slaw and a refreshing pile of house-pickled cucumber and radish. This Asian spin offers subtle heat, with the creamy toppings a nice contrast to the crispy chicken. Photograph by Sabin Orr | Courtesy of Encore Bosto
