McDonald's, Popeyes, Chick-Fil-A And The Chicken Sandwich Wars

After Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen launched its own version of the chicken sandwich, other fast food chains like Wendy's and Shake Shack got into the battle. McDonalds is testing a new chicken sandwich in Houston and Knoxville, and analysts have predicted the fast food chain will launch its chicken sandwich sometime in 2020.

McDonald's, Popeyes, Chick-Fil-A And The Chicken Sandwich Wars

[Dimaz]

“Tennessee man sues Popeyes for running out of chicken sandwiches” — that’s the American spirit right there 👍

[Nickkhan]

I’m sorry but McDonald’s is not in the war

[Wafflepudding]

it's a sad reflection of KFC's fate that they don't even make it to the list.

[melnium]

The media always neglects to mention Chick-fil-A's other competitive advantage that other competitors fail to match: Customer service.

[its_zack]

1:56 I really didn’t need a professor to tell me that people were eating chicken and bread since chicken and bread existed

[RamiEldarini]

Y’all, McDonald’s does not belong in this race

[Raphburger]

Chickens are the real losers in this war lmao

[Luis.Feliciano]

Wonder how much McDonald's paid to be mentioned here...

[_Aarim]

At first i was like "whats the big deal with chicken sandwich? "
Then i realised i live in India..all burgers are chicken sandwich..

[demi-godcrisis]

yo wendys savage af


"Y'all out here fighting about which of these fools has the second best chicken sandwich"

[pstuddy]

The rise of the chicken sandwich
Chicken consumption on the rise

Chickens: 😭😭😭
Cows: future is lookin brighter ya'll

[jamiewilson]

I am honestly starting to prefer chicken sandwiches over burgers recently.

[kisseeee]

Popeyes just need to up their customer service game.

[KentonIGuess]

Why is McDonald’s on this list? I mean KFC, Wendy’s, Culver’s, or even Burger King have better options

[BeanstaIkk]

Mcdonald’s being mentioned in this is like when your 6 year old little brother wants to play the video game so you hand him an unconnected controller.

[unconventionalgaming]

Chick-fil-a: "EAT MORE CHICKEN!!"
WAIT!! Not Popeyes chicken!!!

[Lightwaverable]

You know what this means..





The cows have won

[carlosni]

Why is star bucks considered fast food imagine going there to buy something to eat

[DRM-nbfg]

I like the fact Chick-fil-A does not put mayo on their sandwiches.

[KSwizzleDrizzle]

McDonalds is not part of this war, if anything, they’re just bystanders.
