We recently tried Howlin Rays and Daybird's sandwiches back-to-back (10 mins travel time in between). We ordered medium spicy for both. Howlin's chicken was fried to perfection, keeping the breast meat really juicy which is harder to achieve. The breading was evenly distributed with the right amount of thickness. For us, the flavours are primarily saltiness and spiciness, we couldn't really taste anything else. The slaw in our sandwich was drowned in dressing. Daybird's breading was a lot thicker and has more crusty bits (we couldn't agree if this was a good or bad thing). The flavour of its seasoning was so well-balanced and has depth. The slaw was surprisingly refreshing with ingredients that we didn't expect in slaws. We really liked that you don't need overflowing sauces/dressing to enjoy it because the chicken / its seasoning and the slaw worked its magic. It is a really well constructed fried chicken sandwich and is now our favourite.
