We tried McDonald's new Chick-fil-A copycat menu items against the real thing - here's the verdict

When it comes to chicken, Chick-fil-A is hard to beat.

But recently, McDonald's has started emulating the company's menu as part of the company's larger reform plan.

Premium chicken has replaced the dubious chicken of the past on McDonald's menus.

Items like Buttermilk Chicken sandwiches, Premium Chicken Selects, and grilled chicken sandwiches are now being offered.

While these healthier options are welcome changes, can they stand up to Chick-fil-A's famed chicken?

We decided to compare three of McDonald's premium chicken offerings to the Chick-fil-A counterparts.
