Just in time for National Fried Chicken Day, which happens to be July 6, Lee's Fried Chicken & Donuts is rolling out six new fried chicken sandwiches at its 601 Heights Blvd. restaurant.



The chicken sandwiches, priced at $6.95 each, include Lee's Blue Bird (blue cheese spread and sweet sriracha syrup); Lee's Ranch Bird (poblano ranch dressing, pepper jack cheese and jalapeno bacon marmalade); Lee's Southern Bird (bread and butter pickles, pimento cheese and jalapeno bacon marmalade); Lee's BBQ Bird (barbecue sauce, onions, and bread and butter pickles); Lee's Spicy Bird (hot chicken tenders with jalapenos, onions, pepper jack cheese, and bread and butter pickles); and Lee's Chicken Salad (grapes, tarragon, lettuce and tomato). The new sandwiches feature two fried chicken tenders on a potato bun.

But there's more added to the menu besides more chicken at Lee's. What about more donuts? Yes, there are new specialty donuts including Strawberry Lemonade, the Treehugger (maple glaze with house-made granola), and a seasonal donut made every Sunday with fresh fruit from the vendors at Urban Harvest Eastside Market.

Barbecue fans might appreciate that one of the new kolaches will include brisket from Pinkerton's Barbecue (the other new kolache is chicken green chile).

And just in case you're hankering for fried chicken on Independence Day, Lee's Fried Chicken and Donuts will be open July 4, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
