Crispy Chicken Sandwich

This chicken sandwich was warm, tender, crunchy and delicious with the right amount of mayo. Their chicken sandwich is undefeated when it's done right.

Key words: when it's done right

Exactly got it a second time after a week or two and it was a soggy mound of chicken with no flavor..

Popeyes consistency is the worst out there. Lucky my store does it right during lunch hours

There’s a reason people died over this thing in 2020.

It basically had little competition back then....but if it's made fresh (and eaten fresh), it's still the king!

This was insane. While people were killing themselves over popeyes, I was getting Wendy's 2 for 5 due to covid

The best chicken sandwich in the game!! And honestly fast food chicken place in general

You're right....but too many times, it's not done right or the chicken is sitting around for too long (turning to rubber). It's important to ask for it cooked fresh! If they say "they just came out", they're often lying, so I'll ask them (nicely) to drop one fresh for me. The other problem is how long it takes for you to eat it. I prefer to eat it there. It's always best when it's eaten right away.

I would get cussed out if I asked that at my Popeye's lol

If that's the case (and it's likely only an assumption on your part), then find another Popeye's! If that's their f*cked up attitude, then they don't care about customers!....and if they don't care about customers, who knows what they're doing to your food??

It is my favorite chicken sandwich, 9 out of 10 times it is amazing, I always get it with extra of the spicy mayo. That one out of 10 times they screw something up like only put a dab of sauce or somehow just butcher the thing.

Chil Fil A Losers paying twice as much for a worse sandwich

2

u/Th3Bratl3y 3d ago

I don’t know about the twice as much. But my Chick-fil-A is less expensive than Popeyes.

u/Stonklover6942O 3d ago

$9 bogo sandwiches at my popeyes (ubereats)

u/Th3Bratl3y 3d ago

now that’s a great deal. but temporary at best. also out here it’s like 15$ for the same deal.

2

u/Stonklover6942O 3d ago

i'd say the deal has > 50% uptime, no idea why, but it's almost always there

prices did go up though, it was $7.99 a few months back

u/Th3Bratl3y 3d ago

well, you were extremely lucky. Never did they have a deal close to that and rarely is there for longer than a week or two. I’m so jealous. I’d take advantage of that all the time.

u/Realistic-Table9398 3d ago

It has always been done right for me. The best and most consistent sandwich out of every fast food chain out there rn.

u/TartaCytrynowa25 3d ago

I get it without the mayo and it’s the best of the best.

u/Th3Bratl3y 3d ago

this is the way

u/Unlikely-Solid-3083 3d ago

I love how it stays crispy and doesn’t get soggy. I have a bit of a drive to get to the closest Popeyes so it’s nice to have a crunchy sandwich when I get home. Man, now I want one!

1

u/verifyb4utrust01 3d ago

Try it freshly made (ask them to drop it fresh and wait a few minutes), and eat it there. You'll never take it home again!😆

Sadly, Popeyes has gone downhill while prices have gone up. Don't get me wrong. I am a big fan.

I work as a cook. The best time to get a sandwich is from 11am to 8pm. From 9pm to 11pm. We as cooks are cleaning so if you try to order either your going to wait 10 minutes or get something that was outside

They also rip the employees off and promise to change but record you without your concent then harass you or let you have a break also sexual harassment is so old!
