The karaage chicken sandwich is what put Wishbone on the map in Bica. A crispy Japanese fried chicken fillet, marinated overnight and fried to order, on a soft sourdough brioche bun. This is the sandwich people cross Lisbon for.
Here is exactly what goes into it, how we make it, and where to get one.
What goes into the karaage chicken sandwich
One karaage fried chicken fillet, our house kewpie mayo, fresh slaw, and house pickles, all on a sourdough brioche bun. Simple, balanced, and built entirely around the chicken.
The price is €11.50. You can see it alongside everything else on our karaage menu. Prefer it over rice? The karaage chicken bowl serves the same chicken on warm sushi rice.
How we make it
The chicken is marinated overnight in a Japanese karaage marinade, then coated light and fried the moment you order. No heat lamps, no sitting around. That is why the crust shatters and the inside stays juicy.
Everything around it is made in house too, from the kewpie mayo to the pickles. Made fresh daily in our Bica kitchen at Rua da Boavista 14.
Why karaage beats a normal fried chicken sandwich
Karaage is Japanese fried chicken. The coating is thinner and crisper than a heavy battered fillet, so it stays light rather than greasy. If you want the full story, read why the best fried chicken sandwich in Lisbon is a karaage one.
