"The clear winner in our taste test was the classic fried chicken sandwich. This sandwich was an instant hit when it debuted pre-pandemic, with eager customers forming long lines outside of their local Popeyes to get their first taste. And the sandwich still lives up to the hype. To begin, the sandwich and the fried chicken breast inside it are enormous."
"They must use the same 12-hour marinade method that makes Popeye's bone-in chicken so delicious on their sandwich chicken meat, because it was as juicy, spicy, savory, and tender as could be. The shatteringly crunchy breaded coating is the perfect textural contrast that beats out the also delicious blackened chicken sandwich for first place. The sandwich is topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles and sandwiched between a buttery brioche bun slathered with mayo."
Some fast food chains do not use 100% chicken; Popeyes uses 100% chicken. Nine Popeyes chicken items were tasted and ranked by appearance, taste, and textural components like juiciness and crunchiness. The clear winner is the classic fried chicken sandwich, featuring an enormous fried chicken breast, a 12-hour marinade flavor, juicy, spicy, savory, and tender meat, and a shatteringly crunchy breaded coating. The sandwich includes lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and mayo on a buttery brioche bun that holds up under the fillings while complementing the spice. Customer praise and comparisons note the sandwich outperforms competitors' chicken sandwiches.
