goddamn you're like a year late

certain chicken chains have had massive hype in recent years and the other players are jealous.

>>15165168
MSG renders the mind more pliable.

>finally noticed
the hype has been dead down for awhile now

>>15165168
wow, it's almost like fast food chains compete with one another. incredible

>>15165168
probably has to do with supply, there's probably overstock of frozen chicken since they didn't take off as well as projected so they need to get rid of them or take a loss. Having worked in fast food that's just my guess.

Don't listen to this heretic White Man.

I still prefer the overall flavor of a McDonald's buttermilk chicken sandwich to either Chick-Fil-A or Popeyes. Where it suffers though, is that the chicken they use is clearly inferior. It's thin and it's dry. If McDonald's just upped their game in that department (which is what they are doing) they will really outcompete both, at least as far as I'm concerned. I don't know what addictive substances McDonald's puts in their food, but I really prefer them over others.

>finally noticed
that's crazy considering it's been like that for more than 5 years

>>15165171
He's not though. McDonald's, KFC, Wendy's and Burger King all will roll out brand new chicken sandwiches early next year.

>>15165168
KKC cajun chicken sandwich is delicious, one opened up at the Sinclair by me and Ive been eating a lot of them.

>>15166094
Doesn't mean he (you) isn't late. Popeye's started memeing chicken sandwiches over a year ago. Just because the major chains took a while to adapt means nothing, the trend has been in effect since early 2019.

>>15166094
Oh and by the way, Wendy's existing sandwich was middling, but probably the best of non-chicken chains (excluding KFC, which is gutter-tier). They will struggle to differentiate their new offering. Meanwhile Burger King's existing sandwich was qualitatively marginally better than McDonald's, but it is extremely over seasoned. This makes it almost inedible. Their new sandwich could shine in comparison.

>>15166121
the memeing continues then, I suppose

>>15165168
Chick FIL a is easily the most successful chain in the country and the others want to compete. Chicken also has higher margins than beef.

>>15166123
You're dumb the Tendercrisp was trash and McDonald's was worse before they went to fillets. Wendy;s is a wash

Meanwhile Arby's over here like
>bitches don't know bout my actually decent chicken sandwiches
Oh well. I guess the world will never know.

>>15165168
>Developing chicken sandwiches in response to Popeye's over a year and a half
>Beef shortages and costs due to covid
>Moving people from beef due to environmental issues

>>15166193
I literally can't be moved from beef. They will literally have to pry it from my cold dead hands

The Popeyes spicy is currently the best in the game. Chick fil a is runner up.
>>15166144
They're meh. Arby's best item is the fried turkey sandwich they have in November.

>>15166305
I like the brisket, honestly. But it's small and expensive

>>15166305
You misspelled "Beef 'n Cheddar".

>>15166096
I lived in a trailer park with a gas station/liquor store/pizza place/ krispy Krunchy just a outside the park. It was really great, at one point they would sell whole fried chickens for 5 or 6 bucks

>>15166096
One just opened by me I'll have to try it now

>>15165168
>But why now?

because chick-fil-a is dominating

>>15166096
This shit is so good, but not as good the day after cold.

I tried the KFC "famous chicken sandwich", the spicy version, about a month ago and was surprised by how good it was. Last week I decided to try the Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich.

It was honestly fucking amazing. The chicken was so crispy and it was much bigger than I expected.

Theres no chik-fil-a where I live, but between the 2 major chicken moguls Popeyes is the clear winner.

>>15167179
Wendys spicy chicken has been around for decades, it's the best fastfood chicken sandwich by far.

>>15167188
I've had that before but its been years. I'll try it again soon while these other chicken sandwiches are still fresh in my mind, and maybe I'll come let /ck/ know how it compares.

>>15167179
Damn. I was looking forward to this, thinking KFC would pull out the stops to btfo popeyes

>>15167212
If you have a KKC opening near you, I reccomend.

>>15165168
They're trying to compete with the McRib-mania coming from McDonalds/

>>15166855
based white trash

Chik-Fil-Gay being huge is a fairly recent phenomenon. While the other fast food giants were content to pump out shitty chicken patty sandwiches CFA went with whole breast pieces. More costly but a better product to be sure. Relatively though CFA was a small player until now and everyone else wants a piece of the pie. The cost/benefit analysis is done and people in fact will pay for a good quality product and not a shit one.

I know for me if I'm gonna eat unhealthy I'd rather have a primo chicken sandwich and not chicken giblets and assholes mushed into a patty

>>15167388
They are only huge because normal people instinctually hate fags

The Popeye's chicken sandwich is the only fast food that I can not resist since I've quit being a lardass. Luckily for me the nearest Popeye's is over a hundred miles away (and its a really shit Popeyes so half the time I'm in Missoula I fail to even stop there), so its at best a quarterly indulgence.

diary queen

Dairy queen has the best chicken sandwich. Unchanged for 30 plus years.

No joke. Try it. Get a blizzard or some other shake/ice cream with it. Alternate between the two. Perfect fast food meal.

>>15167388
Oddly enough the worst thing on Chick Fil A's entire menu is the chicken sandwich. They've been thoroughly beaten in that realm by Popeye's, Wendy's, Arby's and countless other regional chains.

But the rest of their menu is good, the service is 1950's tier and their fag hating years endeared them to millions.

Church's Chicken just released a spicy and regular chicken sandwich, haven't tried it.

>>15165168
>the mega corps are bombarding us
because they're so concerned about the opinion of a chinese cartoon imageboard

>>15167424
almost forgot

I say dairy queen because it's much more prolific.

But the best chicken sandwich anywhere is from a seafood fast food chain called Skippers. It used to be more common in the PNW but there's still a few locations out there.

>>15167188
The Wendy's near me have fell off significantly when it comes to their Spicy Chicken Sandwiches, I guess cause they are produced in excess now because of their 2 for 5 deal and the actual patty is getting closer to McChicken tier now.

They are pretty decent but i like fried chicken biscuit sandwiches more

>>15167649

ITT: People calling burgers sandwiches. The people themselves are also burgers.

>>15165168
Higher black natality has come to fruition, it was all a ploy to sell fried chicken sandwich

>>15166305
Just have the spicy chicken from Popeyes, probably the best chicken sandwich I had from a fast food chain.

It's conditioning.
Bugs taste like chicken.

>>15167640
Maybe it’s across the industry I stopped buying McChickens after the patties turned to shit like a year ago

>>15165412
Is there a stock market for food quantities and such ? I mean if it’s like oil barrels you could bet and short on those shit and predict tendencies no ?

>>15168138
Yeah, it's called commodities trading.

>>15165168
What makes that a sandwich and not a burger?

>>15168142
Thanks

>>15168143
There is no hamburger? We really did turn the continent of yurop into retards.

Mcdonald's buttermilk chicken sandwich kinda sucks. The chicken is very thin and dry and it's just underwhelming. They had a really fucking good one, the "classic chicken" that was discontinued like a year or two ago. It had a good aioli and pickles and was, imo on par with Popeye's and chik fil a.
Wendy's chicken sandwiches, both the regular and spicy, literally taste like nothing. It's very strange and weirds me out. They just have no seasoning and the chicken is just tasteless. Fucking garbage.
Popeye's and chik fil a really have perfected the chicken sandwich.
