Fried chicken nachos at Honey Butter Fried Chicken

Honey Butter’s nachos are all about balance. Crisp tortilla chips are garnished with fried chicken strips, corn salsa and smooth pimento cheese sauce (housemade with Wisconsin cheddar and pureed pimentos), all drizzled with lime juice-spiked crema. Candied jalapeno is diced finely enough to avoid a mouthful of fire, but large enough you know it’s there. Each component does its job: the richness of cheese and crema against the crunch of the chips, the piquant salsa giving you a break from that fat. But it’s the chicken that stars, with its juicy breast meat and thick crust. The dish, available on Thursdays only, is a great way to answer a craving for fried chicken when you want just a snack, not a full meal. For 10 bucks, these aren’t the cheapest nachos in town, and the portion is not sports-bar-size. But they’re very good.
