## Story

“We’re constantly being asked, ‘When are you coming to our state?’” said Chick N Max founder Max Sheets.

A nearly 30-year veteran of the restaurant industry, Sheets was at the floor of Ted’s Montana Grill when Ted Turner and George McKerrow pioneered the better-burger segment. That ultimately led him to the formation of Chick N Max, and what he calls the home of “The Better Chicken Sandwich.”

Today, Chick N Max’s chef-crafted sandwiches, made with almond wood smoked pulled chicken or golden fried tenders, are where the emerging chain stretches its culinary muscle. Examples of proprietary sandwiches include Maple Bacon, or pulled smoked chicken, chopped bacon, a drizzle of maple syrup, cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise on a potato bun; and Sweet & Spicy, which includes breaded and fried chicken tenders, fried jalapeño pepper strips, cucumber, tomato and sweet & spicy sauce on a brioche bun.

“Our menu features the hottest food in America - chicken sandwiches - and takes them to the next level with unique flavors and toppings,” said Sheets.

Chick N Max also serves almond wood smoked chicken in the form of wings, leg quarters, breast quarters, and half chicken. Other offerings include chicken and waffles, popcorn chicken, and sides like French fries, onion rings, and smoked white beans.

Guests can complete their meal with a range of 10 homestyle sides and 11 sauces that are made daily to ensure the highest quality and the best taste.
