Mouthwatering Chicken from Maui Mikes

Maui Mikes makes chicken sandwiches that are to die for! I have never been a huge fan of chicken, despite the many times my husband has tried to sell me on the joys of eating good rotisserie chicken, but Maui Mikes is doing something special. And although I didn’t discover them until my last few months on the island, they instantly became one of my go to comfort foods.

My go to is the Ranch Bacon Melt Sandwich. It is made of hot fresh juicy shredded chicken, lots of cheddar cheese, bacon, and ranch. It is big. It is messy. And it is so satisfying. My husband normally orders Mike’s Melt Sandwich, which is the same as the Ranch Bacon Melt but add on some honey mustard and blazin’ chili sauce.

They are a chicken place, so besides the sandwiches, you can order chicken, either a quarter, a half or a shredded breast. All of their combos come with a side and a dipping sauce. For a side, you can choose from –

• Mike’s Fries
• Cajun Fries
• Sweet Potato Fries 
• White Rice
• Brown Rice
• Baked Beans
• Cole Slaw
• Corn (off cob)

Their dipping sauces include –

• BBQ – Sweet
• BBQ – Smokey
• Lava Hot
• Blazin’ Chili
• Honey Mustard
• Teriyaki
• Ranch

You can’t go wrong with any of their sides or their sauces. I personally prefer their sweet potato fries and their honey mustard, but everything plays a supporting role to the true star of the meal, the chicken.

The wait time here can get a little long, but you can order ahead or use their app to skip the wait. However, if you do order in person the walls are covered with photos of Windward history to keep you busy.
