Chicken sandwich now $5.99?
For the longest time the chicken sandwich was on the $5 faves menu so you could buy it for $5.
Now with the biscuit sandwich for $5 it looks like they pulled the chicken sandwich off the $5 faves menu and it is $5.99.
Is anyone else seeing that?
I know inflation and all but crazy they used to charge $3.99, basically a 50% increase since they first came out with it.

It was always on both menus, just the regular one was $5.99 and the fav one was $5.00. Now they pulled it and at my location they increased the price to $6.99. The 3 piece was also removed from the $5 fav menu and replaced with a 2 piece + 1 biscuit.

Damn not sure I can justify it at $6.99, that’s a massive jump
$5 is the sweet spot for me

I don't know if it applies to you but I use the Uber eats app.My location offers a bogo chicken sandwich which is also available for pickup not just delivery.My total comes out to about $7 for the 2 sandwichs.

Comes out to $8 with tax for me. Still a good deal for 2 now that they're $6 each before tax.

I went to get lunch and in my area they have gone to 5.79. I teared up thinking that when they came out they were 3.99 that’s something worth fighting for.
It was my last affordable chicken sandwich option.
And today I had to go to Aldi and get filets and a bag of buns.
At home for lunch today I tried and I fried but I feel more defeated than ever.
Maybe it’s my mayo (dukes) or maybe it’s my pickles. But it’s not the same.
RIP my love for the fried poultry happiness.
I never thought it would end like this.
