You've had a good run, chicken Po' Boy, but Popeyes' new fried chicken sandwich reigns supreme.
- When we tried the Popeyes chicken Po' Boy earlier in 2019, we were impressed. But not impressed enough to declare Popeyes the overall chicken chain winner in a comparison with Chick fil A and KFC at the time.
- But in August, after Popeyes revealed its new fried chicken sandwich, we declared it the best chicken sandwich in a showdown between eight fast-food chains.
- It even beat out Chick-fil-A's iconic chicken sandwich, which is saying a lot.
- The new fried chicken sandwich has become such a massive hit that it's currently sold out in stores across the US. Meanwhile, Popeyes' signature Chicken Po' Boy, originally released in the US in 2003, is now officially discontinued.
