Bossy Beulah’s, owned by restaurateur Jim Noble, knows that the most delicious meals can often come down to the simplest ingredients. Some might associate chicken sandwiches with excess—toppings piled high between two buns and ultra-processed meat. However, Jim did with Bossy’s what he does best. Using simple yet tasty ingredients and menu offerings, he’s made the chicken the real star of the show with the best chicken sandwich in Charlotte NC.
Bossy Beulah’s uses only superior, American Humane Certified chicken raised in the Southeast. They’re raised with plenty of room to roam and without antibiotics, growth hormones, or other additives. This allows for healthier chickens, which in turn makes for tastier and more tender meat.
Recently, conscious of their lunch crowd looking for something a little lighter, all Bossy’s locations added new menu items using local produce. For example, the simple salad with rainbow carrots, pickled onions and cucumber, and a quinoa salad with baby spinach, local strawberries, crumbled feta, pickled red onions, and sunflower seeds. You can add roasted chicken or Bossy Bites on top, and there is also now a chicken salad wrap option.
The Beaut: Best Chicken Sandwich in Charlotte NC
Bossy’s started on Freedom Drive, right next to Noble Smoke. It has since expanded to South End, Winston-Salem, and, the newest location, Fort Mill for convenience no matter where you live. New locations are coming this year to both Ballantyne and Concord.
Noble’s great aunt Beulah, (Beaut, as he and his family called her) who knew her way with fried chicken, is the namesake. He borrowed the recipe his family has used for generations, mastered by Aunt Beaut. Then, he spent two years tweaking and perfecting it. Meanwhile, he also brainstormed the menu for and character of Bossy Beulah’s. Whenever Noble takes a bite of a Beaut sandwich, he says, “I believe that’s the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had!”
The signature sandwich that started it all is The Beaut. This masterpiece starts with a fried chicken breast topped with Duke’s Mayo and housemade pickles. It’s served between a bun sourced from Copain Bakery & Provisions. Also part of Noble’s collection of eateries, Copain has a reputation for its Boulangerie-style bread. It supplies all of Bossy Beulah’s sandwich buns. Bossy Beulah also offers their take on a hot thigh sandwich. Gear up for fried chicken thighs, Beaut’s Hot Sauce, and the same fixings as The Beaut. Their sides follow the same no-nonsense mentality. Patrons can order their famous fries, Iredell slaw, or a salad to go with their sandwich. Or, choose from the two newest options: cucumber salad and potato salad.
While Bossy’s has always been a reliable choice to swing by and grab a fresh, delicious meal quickly, the expanded catering menu and online catering ordering now make it easy to also order for the office, birthday parties, sports events, and more.
You can find a cheaper chicken sandwich, but you can’t find a better one. Rethink your idea of fast casual dining with a visit to Bossy’s.
