Shake Shack's spicy chicken sandwich is pretty damn good. Better than CFA. 

Is it the same size as that midget sized 1/8th pound burger all the hipsters love?

The fuck is up with that chick's finger?

It's Gwyneth. She probably stained it pulling a jade egg out of her ass or doing scented candle research.

This was the special at the Cedar Park Stiles Switch location yesterday, and it was fucking fantastic. They told me there were only two left when I ordered and I regret not getting both of them.

The best chicken sandwich in Austin, by far, is the duck fat fried chicken "spicy bird" sandwich at Roots Chicken Shak in the HEB in Mueller.

It probably hurt unhinging his balloon knot about 6-10 hours later.

Nope, perfect double tapered shit.

I wanted to get by for that yesterday but had some last-minute executive daycare I had to perform at lunch.  I'm definitely getting by tomorrow for the chicken-fried beef rib, it's a Christmastime tradition for me.

Potential game changer in the spicy chicken sammich war

Chick-fil-A landing a haymaker with their new grilled spicy sammich. I’ll be getting one tonight for supper. No cheese. Gimme the bun, chicken and lettuce.

Actually not bad and it has a kick to it, without needing spicy Mayo to do its talking


Would eat again. They gave me a large sweet tea instead of unsweetened but good thing I have some on tap

This Cholula sammich from Golden Chick was excellent.

No red beans and rice and Cajun rice? Along with increasingly subpar, dry chicken? Popeyes will be dead to me sooner than later.

Unpopular food opinions thread is that way

My kind of second mother-in-law (My FiL's longtime partner) worked at a production company that had the Popeye's account for many years. She was consistently in New Orleans to shoot their commercials. Then the execs decided to pull the plug a few years ago and shoot all the commercials in Los Angeles. Figured that was a bad sign.

Yeah, I mean if you can't trust the commercials to be authentic for your cajun themed fast food, who can you trust?

I finally had a piece of shit Popeyes chicken sandwich. Tasted OK until I bit into the rubber middle. Couldn't even chew it. Very gross and threw it away. 

The Wendy's chicken sandwich was much better than the Popeye's I tried.

the quality of the chicken in the popeye’s sandwich has been hit or miss for me, but, the times they have gotten it right (which is >50%) it is by far the best fast food chicken sandwich available.

I know that may not be a ringing endorsement.

Do you ever give any other kind?

I had one recently and the chicken was different. The meat (not just the breading) was crunchy. It was weird

So it's basically a coin flip.  That's some quality control for ya.

The Popeye's sandwich I ate was way to salty but fine otherwise.

Might have just been a flike. Will try again at some point.

The Wendy's chicken sandwich was pretty damn good though.

I’ve been enjoying the Wendy’s spicy chicken for 20 years. it’s solid.

This has happened to me the last two times I went. Last time my sandwich was fine and my wife’s was rubber. She said she’s never going back to Popeyes lol

I thought it may just be my location but seems to be more widespread. I’m not down with taking chances on a chicken sandwich. Regardless of the taste test between them, that would NEVER happen at Chick Fil A

Maybe, but the chances of getting anything resembling "crispy" with Chick-fil-A is zero.

Glad I'm not the only one.  I think I've had four of them since they came out.  Two were awesome, and the other two had some weird connective tissue/cartilage-ish thing going on in the middle.

We have a Chick-Fil-A in the cafeteria at work, and damn if it has ruined me on all outside Fil-As.  Every sammich (spicy or reg, but esp the spicy) is piping hot and crisp, as are the nuggs and fries (which is a massive upgrade on the usually soft and cool variety you normally get at Fil-A).  You can ask them to make you a fresh batch of fries, even if there are fries ready to go, and the carton will get uncomfortably hot as a you stand in line to pay. 

There are too many other options, ones that don't serve rubber (happened to me a few times also) and actually provide customer service, for me to spend money at Popeye's.  Maybe the "fuck you why you bothering me" is part the experience, but no thanks.
