- Yeah, uh-uh. I'm not vibing with this one.
- That's Popeye's. I tasted the aftertaste.
- (FBE) The fourth sandwich that you had that you gave second
is Popeye's. - Whaaat?! Wow!
Okay. It was pretty good.
♪ (punk rock intro) ♪
- (FBE) So, we're not sure if you have heard, but word
on the street is that the Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich is back.
- Oh my god! Yes, it is! - I know. I heard.
And I still haven't tried it. - I have yet to try
this damn sandwich. I am not about the hype.
I'm not waiting four hours in line for a chicken sandwich.
- (FBE) Well, the return of the sandwich has created
mass pandemonium all across the country,
and a national debate has sparked on which spicy chicken sandwich
reigns supreme. - Oh. Oh, boy. (chuckles)
- (FBE) So, we asked our FBE SuperFam which fast food joint has the best
spicy chicken sandwich, and they've narrowed it down
to the top five. But we're gonna leave it up to you
to finally put an end to this debate and tell us
which fast food joint you think has the best spicy chicken sandwich.
- Oh my gosh. I'm excited.
- I feel like the SuperFam knows what's up, though.
They always got the good ideas. Like when they send in
the laugh challenge videos, it's always good stuff.
- Ooh. - (FBE) So, in front of you,
we have the top five chicken sandwiches
according to our SuperFam. So, we're gonna have you try them all
and rank them to see which one you think is best.
- Okay. - (FBE) And to make sure you have
an unbiased opinion, this will be a blind taste test,
and we will not include any of the names of the restaurants
of which these sandwiches are from. - Okay. Got it.
Sounds like a fun challenge. - (FBE) Are you ready to spice up
your life? - ♪ Spice up your life! ♪
- I'm ready. - (FBE) Go ahead and try
the first sandwich. - All right.
- All right.
A little dry. - The spicy isn't too spicy.
It's juicy. They put effort into this. (chuckles)
It was made with love. - Really good flavor.
It's got some sauce. It's got pickles.
Pickles are good. - It's a little soft,
a little mushy I would kinda say.
- It's a little soggy if that makes sense.
There's a lot of juice going on with it.
But it's still pretty good. - Damn. This doesn't even
taste familiar. It's like an explosion of flavor.
- It doesn't taste like Chick-fil-A for sure.
But I feel like you guys are also tricking me.
- (FBE) Now it's time for sandwich number two.
- All right.
It's spicier. The meat is moist,
but it's not as crunchy on the outside as the first one.
- The first one was better than this one.
- It's still good, but first one was better for sure.
- I don't like the taste of the spiciness in this one.
- I would say the spice kind of overtakes the flavor,
so I didn't really taste too much of the chicken.
- Yeah. I'm not vibing with this one.
I don't want my chicken to be too, too crispy.
- I don't know. The chicken's kinda wack.
So, maybe Wendy's or something like that.
I'm not sure. (chuckles) - Damn, that tastes like Burger King.
Burger King has specific pickles. - (FBE) Up next, sandwich three.
- This one seems so fancy. The bun and everything
is so perfectly cut. - This one's bad.
This one's worse than this one. - Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
Look at the color of this one. It's so thin, and it's darker brown.
This is not it. - It doesn't taste like
a chicken sandwich. It tastes vegan.
No, this was the worst one by far. - It tasted like grass. (chuckles)
What the hell? - Yeah, this is Burger King.
I'm pretty sure this is Burger King.
- It looks really, really nice, though,
so I expected a lot out of it. And it didn't give me that.
- (FBE) Let's try the fourth sandwich. - I was eyeing this baby boy
from the beginning. Look how thick he is!
- It's a thick piece of chicken.
- This is good. I like all the chicken in there.
(laughs) - The spicy level is great
on this one. It's really good.
But I'm still thinking number one is the best.
- This might be my favorite. This one's got a lot of flavor.
I like it. - There might be sauce in it,
but it totally threw it off. Whatever is in here,
it's... no. I don't like this one either. (chuckles)
- It's surprisingly boring.
I feel like it needed the pickle for it to taste good.
- I like that. Chicken's good. Nice and juicy.
Good strong pickle flavor, you know? - Popeye? Maybe?
Because that one-- if there's such big hype around it,
I mean, it might be 'cause it's that good, right?
- That's Popeye's. I tasted the aftertaste.
If you've had the chicken tenders from Popeye's...
That's Popeye's. - (FBE) Finally, let's have you try
sandwich number five. - All right. Another thin boy.
The breading reminds me a lot of chicken tenders. Interesting.
And it's got mayo and tomato on the top.
- All right. This wasn't that bad. I like this one.
- This one's also dry.
And... chewy. The chicken isn't good.
- The chicken itself isn't the best quality chicken,
but I wouldn't surprised if you told me if this was
vegan or something. - Wow. I didn't think
there would be such a difference in these flavors,
especially after doing this one, which literally just tasted
like regular, real chicken, these taste like fake chicken.
- It's not bad. But I think for spicy
chicken sandwiches, this one for sure wins.
- One and three were the best ones for sure.
This one was boring. This one was burnt.
And this one, like-- I don't know what she--
She was kind of just there. - (FBE) So, now that you have
buried your face in the spiciest of spicy chicken sandwiches,
we're gonna have you rank them from one to five with one
being the most delicious and five being the least.
- [Bleep]. Okay. - So, number one has to go
to number three. I thought this one was very good.
It's very well-prepared. - The most, for sure this one.
Number four. 100%. - The first one was the best.
Compared to the rest of 'em, it was a whole thorough sandwich to me.
- This one's one. This one's two. This one, I like. I went in there
and just-- I did that. - Number five would be my number two.
- Number two, I would say... hmm. This one probably.
The chicken on this one itself has really good flavor.
It's really strong. - Number three is this one for sure.
- Hmm. All right. Number four is my number three.
- Number five was number three. Number four was number four.
- Three is four. And five is five.
Five just tasted terrible after I had four before it.
- (FBE) Okay, so number four, the first one. It wasn't that bad.
It was kinda plain, a little simple. - Four, two...
three, one, five. - Number five is this one,
because it is-- it just doesn't taste really great at all.
It's just lacking flavor in the spice category.
But more than anything, it tastes like fake chicken.
It's just really processed. - Number five would have to be
number two only because the spice was a little too strong on this one,
and I didn't really get a taste of the flavor, so it was a little...
a little too much. - (FBE) Now that you have ranked
these blindly, we're gonna tell you which sandwich
came from which place, and we'll see if any of these surprise you.
- Okay. - I'm ready, but I'm scared.
Everyone's gonna be like, "You ranked Chick-fil-A the worst"
or something like that. I'm gonna be like, "I'm sorry!"
- (FBE) So, the first sandwich that you tried that you gave
number one was from KFC. - Really? Wow.
I don't go to KFC for chicken sandwiches.
I go for biscuits and their wedges. (chuckles)
- What?! I have not been to KFC in like 10 years. Okay.
I'm out of the loop on this one. - I feel like KFC's dry.
This was so juicy! Okay. - I am surprised by that, yeah.
I didn't even know they sold spicy chicken sandwiches.
Yeah, this KFC one's pretty good. - (FBE) So, the second sandwich
that you gave number five is from Chick-fil-A.
- (laughs) That is not good. Uh... my bad.
- Really? No way. I always get their chicken sandwich.
I'm disappointed. (chuckles) - (FBE) So, the first third sandwich
you tried, which you gave first place...
- (whispers) Popeye's. - (FBE) McDonald's.
- McDonald's?! - (FBE) Mm-hmm.
- Okay. McDonald's on to-- people be underrating McDonald's,
I swear. - All right. That makes sense.
(chuckles) - Oh, really? And this is
the fanciest one, wow. - I thought it was Burger King!
Oh, wow. Okay. - (FBE) So, the fourth sandwich
that you had that you gave second is Popeye's.
- Whaaat?! Wow. Okay, it was pretty good.
- Yeah! I could tell it was Popeye's. - Wow! I'm glad that I like
Popeye's chicken sandwich. - They're living up
to their expectations. I'm gonna have to start
going to Popeye's instead of Chick-fil-A now.
- (FBE) The last sandwich that you tried, which you
gave third was from Wendy's. - That makes sense. Damn!
- Okay, Wendy's is a fat L on every end.
I've never had good food at Wendy's.
- Yeah, Wendy's is kind of like a third. (chuckles)
Like, out of all the choices, you'd think Wendy's would be
in the middle. - The Wendy's, I did not think
would be this high. I thought that would be four
or five on my list, but I'm pre--
And KFC was my number one. Damn. I'm surprised by that.
- Wow! I'm shook right now! I'm so shook at the different ones.
I was not thinking about Wendy's, and I definitely wasn't thinking
about KFC! - The Popeye's one, I honestly
wasn't even coming in saying, like, "Oh, I'm gonna say my favorite
is from Popeye's." I was actually hoping
for my favorite to be from Chick-fil-A,
because I love Chick-fil-A so much. But that was good.
They're for sure living up to their expectation.
Now I see what all the hype is about now.
- (FBE) So, you may remember that this all kind of started
back in August of 2019 when Popeye's released
their new chicken sandwich that received crazy amounts
of attention and sparked debates over fast food chicken sandwiches
both online and in real life. So, just two weeks after Popeye's
initial release, their chicken sandwich
had sold out nationwide. Then on November 3rd,
Popeye's actually re-released the sandwich, spiking their sales
yet again and continuing the great chicken sandwich debate of 2019.
So, as a teen, is this something that you and your friends
have noticed people talking about? - Oh my god, dude.
Everyone's talking about this chicken sandwich.
People are still posting are about this chicken sandwich!
Teens, adults, maybe even the elderly
are going off about this chicken sandwich.
- I don't talk about it really with my friends,
but I have seen it everywhere, all over Twitter and social media.
- Everybody is fighting over whose is better.
It's literally just a chicken sandwich!
But it's crazy, 'cause anything can become popular on social media.
- Most of my friends after school, it's like, "Oh, you guys wanna e"--
like before a football game or something, they're all like,
"Oh, let's go to Chick-fil-A." And then recently, since Popeye's
released their sandwiches again, it's like, "Oh, let's go to Popeye's,"
but the wait is so long. - One of my friends works at Popeye's,
so whenever he's around, it just comes up.
He says it's been crazy. Not crazy like how it is
on the east coast, where people just beat people up for the sandwiches.
- (FBE) So, the return of the Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich
has actually caused some controversy around the nation.
Customers have gone to extreme measures
to purchase the famed chicken sandwich,
causing an array of violent incidents
that have caught national attention. So, why do you think that this
fast food sandwich has caused people to behave so aggressively
just to get their hands on it? - 'Cause Americans are fat and crazy.
I heard people who would buy loads of it and sell it
for a higher price. I'm like, it is not that deep.
- I feel like if there's so much hype around it, it's like everyone
wants to get it. And then it's like,
if you can't because of whatever reason,
it's just like, "Oh, I want it, but I can't have it,"
and it just turns into anger. - I don't think the root of it
is the chicken sandwich is that damn good
that you gotta fight a 16-year-old kid,
but you know, people are wilin'. You could end up losing your life
or you know, it gets very dangerous. Very dangerous.
- (FBE) So finally, what is your all-time favorite
fast food sandwich? - All-time favorite
fast food sandwich would have to go to McDonald's
only because they surprise me. I like their breakfast.
I like their chicken sandwiches, their fish filets.
- I think KFC's pretty good. And I've had the Burger King one.
I like those for sandwiches. - I think it's In-N-Out burger.
Am I allowed to say that? Is that an answer?
- I'm just gonna go with the regular Chick-fil-A sandwich,
the normal one, not the spicy one,
'cause you can never go wrong with it.
- I'm gonna say Popeye's now. (chuckles) That was better
than Chick-fil-A, and it not what I was expecting,
because I thought that even if I had it and it was really good,
it would never beat Chick-fil-A, but it did.
