Rating Fast Food Chicken Sandwiches

Who has the best crispy chicken sandwich? There are so many restaurants to choose from. Names that you've often heard get the most praise certainly include Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. But what about KFC? Or Raising Cane's? And what about the classics...McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's? There are far too many restaurants that boast a crispy chicken sandwich now, leaving the choice for consumers rather difficult. So, I've done all the hard work and drove to every single restaurant in a day (actually, we drove to Popeye's twice since the first was somehow cash-only). I taste-tested every single one, examining each sandwich and also taking into account the fact that experience can certainly vary by location.

Ultimately, there's a list of somewhat clear winners. I'll let you watch to be surprised, but I will say that the top two spots are actually quite close. The top three, however, have very firm and stable positions. I hope that I can help for next time you try to pick a lunch on the go.

"That chicken is drier than the Sahara desert"
My boy Nick has taken notes from Gordon Ramsay

[aphaedits]

Petition for nick to try and build his spice tolerance, that would be pretty entertaining lol

[mkl]

I love that Nick doesn’t pretend to be above fast food restaurants and doesn’t act like they taste like garbage. He is a cook and prefers the finer, fancier foods, but loves some good ass McDonald’s.

I used to dislike chicken sandwich/burger because it is far inferior compared to beef ones (I had mostly grilled chicken ones). But the first chicken sandwich that changed my mind was the McSpicy Deluxe from McDonalds, it was a super tasty and juicy fried chicken sandwich. They made it really well that I only get chicken sandwich/burger every time I go to a fast food joint. Later on, I continued to try ones from KFC, Popeyes, etc. I must say I am addicted to fried chicken sandwich now lol

Respect to the dude that works at McDonald’s and vouched for Popeyes as the best chicken sandwhich

[sairaawan]

This should've been a blind test, rating each one blindly and then finding out which sandwich was from which restaurant.

[isaiahweir]

the people at my kfc are nothing like that😭 they’re all 16 year olds who hate their job and gets your order wrong

[techsavvyhero]

Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting, Nick! Great chicken sandwich tour. Your feedback on them is gold! Looking forward to more :)

Popeyes employees being mean to you is part of the experience

The CEO of heinz was CEO of Burger king, so their priority is to supply BK before other chains.
So thats why they have more Ketchup packets.

popeyes: we only accept cash
everyone: drives to the next atm prob 5min awy
nick: looks like an hour for the next popeyes that accepts credit cards

[thesmellofadventure]

Nick: “Chick Fil A didn’t have seasoning”
My Local Chick Fil A: Challenge Accepted!

[ezananebiat]

Burger King employee : *shuts window loudly*
Nick : He's not f*cking around

[zalbert_zest]

It's Ironic that the mcdonalds guy said Popeye's is the best


*While he was wearing a mcdonalds shirt that said "loyal-tee"*

[darkraider]

i just watched a 20 minute video about crispy chicken sandwiches and i don't regret it

[ares.Z]

"i don't think chick fil a has much seasoning on theirs.."

me: and i took that *personally*

[muffinman]

The difference between Nick and Joshua Weissman is that Nick tries to compliment the fast food where he can and Josh tries to shit on it wherever he can xD

[CT-mzob]

I like how Nick is a humble chef and is willing to admit when food is good. Most just call it nasty even though it truly isn’t

[fartingoat]

Nick is a rare case of a good chef who doesn't absolutely shit on anything remotely fast food

[TPCIO]

I think I just go to a bad Popeyes, every time I go to get a sandwich, it’s always ashy
