Have any of you gotten in on this?
I don't care for Chic-fil-A and Popeyes is pretty gross so I have no dog in the fight.
What's the verdict?

Not a big fan of too much fried food in my diet -That way when I do break down and eat something fried, I don't beat myself up about it. Never have had a Popeyes chicken sandwich but seem to remember trying the other one. Haven't been back so that must say something.
I'm fairly confident I can make a better chicken sandwich at home anyway...

I prefer "bone-in" chicken - except buffalo wings.

Haven't had the Popeyes BUT I do like the Chick sandwich.... with a shake and fries. (Only because they don't have dirty rice and there is no Popeyes or Bojangles around me)
Whoppers forever!

I can do most any of the fast food things with exception to Taco Bell and KFC. I don't eat them that often but I did eat at Hardee's, Zaxbys and Bojangles on my recent road trip mostly for lunch. We ate at several local Mexican joint's the best was on the way back in Salem, Va. EXCELLENT food, I gained 7 lbs in a week.

Oh wow... 12 cups. I cut back about 10 years ago from coffee most of the day to two cups in the morning. I probably wasn't the most pleasant person to be around at that time. LOL... I'm a sissy I guess, little cream, little sugar!! Now I want a cup of coffee.

One day last month she felt weak and had terrible stomach pains...went to the ER and they did all the usual scans n stuff. Turns out she was severely dehydrated and the pain was her kidneys. She was overloaded on caffeine. She’s now supposed to drink 6 bottles of water a day Smh.

Last time I was there, she showed me a bottle of water she was “working on” in the fridge. 🤷♀️ I reminded her of the pain...but what more can I do? Smh

Well, I purposely hunted down four classic chicken sandwiches at Popeyes yesterday just to see what all the fuss is about.
I gave them to my youngest son (who has a culinary arts degree) and my daughter, and Mrs. G and I split one. Mrs. G and the daughter both liked them. An extra one I had purchased was scarfed up quickly by said daughter's boyfriend without comment but I suspect he probably liked his too. Me - eh. Chicken meat was tender, but the breading on it was overkill. Youngest son said it was especially good because it didn't cost him anything, but that there was no way he'd stand in line for two hours OR stab people for one...

Popeyes was good. Probably the best of the big brand fast food bunch.
The BK chicken sando was actually not bad either.
But for my money RoFo has the best chicken, you just have to make sure it hasn't been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour and turned to sawdust.

Chicken in a sandwich is just junk food to me. Unless, of course, it is 'coronation chicken'.

It's pure junk food, but at least it's meant to be.
