Barbecue chicken is a crowd-pleaser, but it’s the sides that elevate the meal from satisfying to unforgettable. At Southern Twist, we believe every dish has a story, and our menu is designed to celebrate the heart and soul of Southern cuisine. Whether you're planning a backyard gathering or stopping by our restaurant, here are eight side dishes that perfectly complement BBQ chicken and bring the essence of the South to your plate.

1. Creamy Coleslaw

No BBQ chicken spread is complete without coleslaw. Our creamy coleslaw combines crisp cabbage, shredded carrots, and a tangy-sweet dressing for a refreshing bite that balances the smoky flavor of barbecue.

2. Southern-Style Baked Beans

Slow-cooked to perfection, baked beans offer a sweet and savory medley of flavors. At Southern Twist, we make ours with just the right amount of brown sugar, molasses, and smoky bacon for an irresistible side.

3. Buttermilk Cornbread

Lightly sweetened and baked golden brown, cornbread is a Southern staple that soaks up all the goodness of BBQ sauce. Pairing BBQ chicken with cornbread is like a match made in culinary heaven.

4. Macaroni and Cheese

Our mac and cheese is a customer favorite, with its creamy, gooey layers of cheddar and buttery breadcrumb topping. It’s a rich, indulgent addition to the smoky goodness of BBQ chicken.

5. Collard Greens

Simmered with a hint of smoky ham hock, our collard greens are a true Southern classic. Their earthy flavor and tender texture make them a hearty, flavorful side dish.

6. Potato Salad

A chilled potato salad provides the perfect counterpoint to hot, sticky BBQ chicken. We keep it Southern-style with diced potatoes, mayonnaise, mustard, and a sprinkle of paprika on top.

7. Fried Okra

Crispy, golden fried okra offers a delightful crunch that complements the tender, juicy chicken. This classic side is a must-try for anyone looking to experience true Southern comfort food.

8. Sweet Corn on the Cob

Fresh, buttery corn on the cob is a summer favorite that pairs beautifully with BBQ chicken. For a Southern twist, we sprinkle ours with a hint of paprika and a squeeze of lime.
