Battle of the Chicken Sandwiches

OCT 18, 2019: The topic of chicken sandwiches hasn’t really sparked much conversation until Popeyes began promoting their chicken sandwiches. The conversation started on Twitter. Chick-fil-a tweeted “Bun + Chicken + Pickle = Love”. Since Popeyes was already promoting their sandwich they replied to Chick-fil-a with “y’all good?”. That’s when the great debate happened. Who has the better chicken sandwich: Chick-fil-a or Popeyes?

Popeyes sandwiches sold out FAST! People waited in line for hours just to get a sandwich. Most Popeyes have a sign up now that says “Chicken Sandwich...be back soon.” This gave Chick-fil-A an advantage. Chick-fil-a is known for their amazing customer service. From running after cars who left their food to saying, “My pleasure,” to every customer, Chick-fil-a has a good reputation. When Popeyes sandwiches sold out, people began to say Chick-fil-A would never sell out of chicken sandwiches since that’s basically their most popular menu item.

I myself am a big fan of Chick-fil-A. My favorite line is, “I want a number two from Chick, Chick, Polynesian sauce and a frosted lemonade”. On the other hand, Popeyes fries are amazing. Their chicken is just very greasy. Chick-fil-a will always be the best in my eyes.
