Chicken Lips

What the heck is a Chicken Lip..?

Our World Famous Chicken Lips are made with voluptous chicken breast strips, rolled in flour and butteriest milk, they are fried and dunked in Spicy Lip Sauce (think the best boneless Buffalo wings you will ever have) Lips are served with homemade Budweiser Blue Cheese Dressing or Ranch if you prefer.

We recommend 2-4 lips per person depending on how much other stuff you are serving.
