Cracked is jumping into the highly competitive fried chicken sandwich game! Head over there and try out “The Newton.” It’s fried chicken thighs with Cajun sauce and pickles on a ciabatta bun, and named for University of Illinois football defensive tackle Jer’Zhan Newton.

A sign that reads "The Newton, chicken thigh sandwich cajun sauce, pickles on a ciabatta bun, $10.99" with a photo of University of Illinois football player Jer'Zhan Newton wearing a cracked hat and apron and holding a tray with the sandwich.

I ain’t one of the official Smile Politely Food and Drink writers, but after just one Newton, it’s in my top five chicken sandwiches in town!
