Popeye's new chicken sandwich? (ingredients, bbq, junk food, rotisserie)

[maus]

I had the new Popeye's chicken sandwich and yes the lines were long. I hadn't been to Popeyes in years as they tend to be located far from where I live. It was good and definitely reminded me of Chick-Fil-A's chicken sandwich. It's definitely better than the run-of-the-mill fast food chicken sandwiches. I only get fast food about once or twice a month, so I may try my next one while traveling again.

You mean some of us don't?

So out of 43 posts, only two people have tried the sandwich?

I like Popeyes biscuits and, well, the rest of the meal, too. But there is no Popeyes anywhere around my area.

That makes it 44 posts with only two people who tried the sandwich.

I’ve had the sandwich twice. It is very juicy and the flavor is excellent. Not something I’m gonna go out of my way for, but definitely up to the hype.

I had the spicy one. It was huge and delicious. Never had chick fil a.

I tried this evening but with 15 people in the drive up we ended up at Carl Jr. We had a concert this evening.

Go to Youtube and watch the fights over this chicken sandwich. Insane. I guess Popeye's can't keep up with the demand. One customer even jumped through the drive-up window and started fighting the employees.

Having just read an article by a food writer it seems there is a classic version with mayonnaise and a spicy version with the heat of the sauce being the only difference. Either Popeye's version was far superior to the CFA offering.

This is similar to other reviews I've seen. Has anyone found a comparison that did not favor Popeye's?

Most cities of any note have lots of options in relation to burgers, craft beer and food markets.
