You know what's better than a chicken sandwich? A spicy chicken sandwich.
In the face of uproar over a new chicken sandwich from Popeyes, I could no longer stomach the obviously superior version of the fried chicken sandwich being left out of the national conversation.
Yes, Popeyes has a new chicken sandwich that sells for $3.99 nationwide and has been selling out. Yes, it's a very good sandwich that's crispy, hot, and salty, hitting all the right notes. But it comes in two versions! Classic AND spicy.
I will not sit idly by as this information is suppressed by the mainstream media. Something has to be done. More chicken MUST be eaten.
That's why I decided to pit Popeyes' new spicy chicken sandwich against two classics from Wendy's and Chick-fil-A.
Turns out, Popeyes can't really keep up with the original.
