When you order the 2-Piece Chicken Lunch Special at Nash & Smashed, you are getting nothing but premium quality ingredients. We take pride in the way we prepare every single item on our menu. Finding the perfect midday meal often feels like a tough compromise between speed, affordability, and genuine culinary craft. If you find yourself searching for the best fried chicken near you during a busy workday, this special was created specifically to give you an unforgettable comfort feast without any compromises.
What's Inside
Our 2-Piece Chicken Lunch Special is carefully prepared to order. Specifically, it features:
A fried chicken breast piece and a drumstick sit in front of a tray of waffle fries and a Pepsi fountain cup with soda splashing above the rim.
We believe that great food starts with premium quality ingredients, cooked fresh the moment you order. There are no shortcuts here — just perfect execution. By pairing a hearty, succulent breast piece with a tender, flavorful drumstick, this lunch special delivers the ultimate balance of white and dark bone-in poultry. Each cut is dredged by hand in our signature seasoned flour, forming deep ridges and jagged crags that fry into a remarkably crispy, golden-brown shell.
The Ultimate Bone-In Crunch
From the moment your lunch tray arrives, the sensory appeal is undeniable. The aroma of freshly fried chicken, crackling spices, and warm potato fills the air, signaling pure comfort food. Take that first bite into the drumstick or breast piece, and you will hear an audible crunch as the hand-breaded crust breaks apart to reveal piping-hot, exceptionally juicy chicken inside. Frying directly on the bone preserves natural juices and infuses deep, savory richness into every fiber of the meat.
Beside your crispy chicken sits a generous tray of golden waffle fries. With their distinct criss-cross pattern and crispy edges, they offer the ideal canvas for capturing house dips. Wash it all down with an ice-cold fountain Pepsi, whose effervescent sweetness and crisp carbonation cut through the rich, savory seasoning, resetting your taste buds for the next delicious bite.

That means your meal reaches you steaming hot, with an unbeatable contrast between the crackling crust and tender meat.

The rhythmic sounds of the kitchen, welcoming smiles from our team, and aroma of hot spices make Nash & Smashed a beloved local fried chicken spot in the community.
