I tried McDonald's answer to Chick-fil-A next to the real thing - and the winner is obvious

In parts of the country, you can't mention a chicken sandwich without invoking praise for Chick-fil-A.

Their chicken sandwich has reigned supreme for quite a while, and McDonald's is taking notice.

The iconic fast food burger chain recently overhauled its chicken sandwich with a new buttermilk recipe that is receiving some positive feedback.

I grew up in New Hampshire, and went to college in Boston - which has famously banned Chick-fil-A - so I've never truly tried a Chick-fil-A sandwich.

Luckily, the much-anticipated new location in New York City sent us a sample ahead of the opening October 3, so I decided to put the two chicken sandwich rivals to the ultimate test.
