[Chicken Sandwich Battle] Chick-fil-A versus Popeye's

Whataburger chicken is pretty darn good.

 

Fried chicken is the worst thing Whataburger does. Their grilled chicken sammiches is solid.

 

^turns out fried chicken is the worst thing most Fast food places do. Why i had written that item off over the years in favor of ANY burger.. because most are shiet. But the ones who do it right, they are worth-while.


After more back and forth between my top two, wendy's and CFA, even though wendy's has the best spice, pickles, bun, and freshness factor if you request one made to order (impossible at CFA, though you never get too stagnant chicken regardless), but the slight edge CFA has over Wendy's in chicken quality dominates all of the above I've decided, for me. Even with RC's cole slaw, on either (realized it helps W's more than CFA).

This is bonus,, does not count for or against sandwich quality, but CFA's shakes destroy wendy's frosty's. Tastes like home made ice cream from that contraption when you were a kid, a motor or handle that turned the crank, with ice and salt around it. I even vowed off my CFA, not because of damage to the alphabet people, IDG too much of AF about them (sincerest apologies) but because mine here is an experimental format with walk up window or drive thru only (no dine in!) but turns out it works out. They have outside tables Still hope that format doesn't work out. Probably will. CFA has the touch of gold lately. Like Bill Parcells

 

I can’t find the post but I tried the spicy chicken sandwich with the pepper jack cheese today at CFA after seeing the recommendation. I don’t get the hype. The chicken isn’t spicy the batter wasn’t very crispy and the cheese wasn’t melted. In the couple bites where it was just cheese and bun you could tell it came straight from the cooler. CFA will continue to be a once or twice a year stop for me.

 

Well I said I was done, but when I had an hour to kill with beers at Yardhouse citycenter this week, noticed a nashville hot chicken sandwich on the menu I couldn't resist trying. This is more along the lines of what I was expecting at micos- heat in the breading, crispy, not a bunch of sugar caked on it. The yardhouse sandwich does have a couple weird things on it I requested on the side to be safe, a butter hot sauce, and some kind of cheese spread. Used both, both surprisingly good but I'd recommend just go with slaw and chicken breast in the bun only. Unecessary, and just too much.

Speaking of too much, this one is even more outrageously priced than micos. As good as it is, cannot really justify such a price.

 

im all over dat fam

 

Do they serve it in the morning? I’m trying to beat the church crowd. Lol.

 

the church crowd will be there is the morning.

 

C’mon Darren, some of us were trying to keep that under wraps...

 

The Sunday launch makes me a bit uncomfortable, though.

I mean, if a competitor to B&H or Century 21 were to launch a product or service on a Saturday specifically because these Jewish businesses are closed for Sabbath...

 

That's a pretty homophobic attitude.

To the D&D!

 

I see a commercial deal coming.......

 

Don't give it away, get that chicken money first deshaun!

 

I don't know why I bothered trying to grab one today.

Lines just as crazy as when it first came out lol.

 

First you get the chicken, then you get the power, then you get the women.

 

Was it as good as before?

 

Went by at 1040pm and there’s still lines. On a Sunday night. Crazy
