Popeyes Chicken Sandwich

Posted on 08/25/2019 11:33:56 AM PDT by savedbygrace

I have two questions about Popeyes' Chicken Sandwich for those who have eaten one.

1) Do you think it is better than a Chic Fil-A Chicken Sandwich?

2) Is it spicy, even the least bit spicy?

Thank you.

My body can. I can’t digest those weird “plant proteins” and they don’t make me feel good. Beef makes me feel fantastic and full and strong.

Both Popeyes and Chick Fil A are very good. They just ain’t the same sammie

Wendy’s has an excellent spicy chicken sandwich. Probably my favorite fast food meal.

They put some kind of tangy sauce on it. The one I received was humongous. Still prefer Chick-fil-a though. All in all, not a bad substitute.

“Both Popeyes and Chick Fil A are very good. They just ain’t the same sammie”

Thanks for the feedback. I am sure I will check them both out eventually.

By the way, “sammie” sounds almost as retarded as “sammich.”

While I frequent C-F-A, my preference is ... (mostly in the Southeast USA)

FANS CHOOSE SIDES IN THE 'CHICKEN SANDWICH WAR' OF OUR TIME
August 22, 2019
By Katie Workman
A nation already polarized finds itself divided once again, but this time politics isn't at the heart of it: The blame lies squarely on a fried piece of poultry.

People are choosing sides and beefing over chicken, thanks to Popeyes' release of its crispy chicken sandwich and the social media debate that has followed. With just one addition to a fast-food menu, the hierarchy of chicken sandwiches in America was rattled, and the supremacy of Chick-fil-A and others was threatened.

It's been a trending topic on social media, fans have weighed in with YouTube commentaries and memes, and some have reported long lines just to get a taste of the new sandwich

"Our grandchildren will ask us where we were when the great Chicken War of 2019 began," Twitter user @MilesRodrigo1 declared.

While Popeyes has been selling chicken for a long time, the chain was a contender in the bone-in, skin-on, fried-chicken space, not the fried, boneless, skinless cutlet on a bun.

Popeyes announced the new sandwich on Twitter last week with hyperbole that would soon define the social media commotion to come: "Chicken. Brioche. Pickles. New. Sandwich. Popeyes. Nationwide. So. Good. Forgot. How. Speak. In. Complete. Sandwiches. I mean, sentences."

And from that moment, it was ON. People began ardently advocating for their favorite sandwich, whether it be the new-kid-on-the-block Popeyes one, or the OG Wendy's or Chick-fil-A versions.

And the social media managers for the companies reveled in the green light to talk smack to each other.

"We Didn't Invent The Chicken, Just The Chicken Sandwich!" Chick-fil-A bragged on Twitter. "Bun + Chicken + Pickles = all the (heart emoji) for the original."

To which Wendy's responded: "Ya'll out here talking about which of these fools has the second best chicken sandwich."

Popeye's quick retort: "Sounds like someone just ate one of our biscuits. Cause ya'll looking thirsty." (Which frankly seemed as if they were bragging about dry over-salted biscuits? Wendy's thought so, too, tweeting, "lol, guess that means the food's dry as the jokes.")

As the week wore on, people debated on social media, in chat rooms, in person.

[snip]

Tyler Manchuck of New Canaan, Connecticut, was one of those who tried the sandwich after hearing about the hype. "I figured it would be rude not to go check it out; it's my obligation as an avid chicken sandwich connoisseur," he said.

He decided to get the spicy (it also comes in classic). Once he bit into it, he said he "had an almost out of body experience. The new bun, that sauce gives it the edge. In the realm of fast food, Popeyes' chicken sandwich definitely has the advantage."

Still, Chick-fil-A, Wendy's and other restaurants have their devoted fans, and the Great Chicken Debate is far from being settled.

Perhaps that's fitting in this day and age. As Twitter user @cHolidaydds said: "There's nothing more American than being divided over something. This week it's a chicken sandwich."


If that's all we were divided over!

Give the burger the cat test. Tear off a small piece of the “patty” and try to feed it to a cat. I suspect that they will try to bury it. Cats know real meat. I’m just sayin’.

I know you’re not mentally challenged...not at all. I was just expressing a pet peeve. I hope there’s no hard feelings.

I'm not sure why a poster called savedbygrace wouldn't patronize Chic Fil-A for a sandwich.
