Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que Day of Giving for Food Banks
09.17.21
By popular demand, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que is bringing back its special Chicken Shack Limited Time Menu and offering a day of giving for food banks.
Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que Chicken Shack menu returns to all locations offering a delicious lineup of slow-smoked and Southern-fried chicken favorites, premium sides, and a new appetizer, salad, and dessert.
On September 21, Lucille’s will offer a $5 Chicken Shack Snack plate for dine-in guests that include a mini order of new Flamin’ Hot® Cheetos® Popcorn Chicken, coleslaw, and a wedge of new Lucille’s Texas Sheet Cake.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit local area food banks that have been heavily impacted by the COVID pandemic. A special Lucille’s county fair event will take place at its Long Beach Towne Center restaurant featuring music, prizes and the Lucille’s on Wheels food truck offering the Chicken Shack Snack plate.
The new Lucille’s Chicken Shack menu includes:
Country Fair Popcorn Chicken – chicken marinated in Lucille’s own pickle juice then buttermilk-breaded, lightly fried, and served with a housemade tangy bang-bang sauce for dipping. Available in Classic or Flamin’ Hot® Cheetos® flavor.
Beer-Can Chicken – half beer-can chicken, slow-smoked with Lucille’s Blonde Ale and served with two swoon-worthy sides or in a combination meal with a half-rack of St. Louis Ribs.
Bangin’ Chicken Sandwich – a crispy buttermilk-fried chicken breast topped with Thai ginger slaw, dill pickles, and housemade bang-bang sauce served on a grilled brioche bun.
Carolina Beer-Can Chicken Sandwich – tender pulled chicken, tossed with a tangy Carolina Red BBQ sauce on a grilled potato bun slathered with housemade bang-bang sauce.
Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad – tender crispy nuggets of buttermilk-fried chicken tossed in buffalo sauce and served with hard-boiled egg, cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, bacon, and blue cheese crumbles with a creamy ranch dressing.
Lucille’s Texas Sheet Cake – inspired by the popular dessert – fudgy chocolate cake topped with rich chocolate frosting and diced pecans atop a dusting of powdered sugar.
