That is a fat piece of chicken
Please don’t be spicy
Best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life!
No!?
This is Popeyes.
Ah it's like chicken.
One of my favourite items is the chicken sandwich.
Oh my days.
Oh, that looks really good.
Oh my gosh.
Is this a chicken burger or a burger chicken?
Is this a chicken burger or a burger chicken? Yeah, it's a burger chicken.
It's looking nice.
Yeah this looks lovely.
Can I just tuck in?
Yeah.
Get involved.
Banging.
Very good.
It's perfect.
Wow.
It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Succulent.
Did you hear that crunch?
I think the sauce pairs with it well.
It's a perfect combination with the spiciness.
Is that cucumber in there?
Or is that a pickle?
Pickle, I thought so.
A little pickle, yeah.
This is really good.
I don't really like pickles, but just like with the chicken, you can't really taste it.
Yeah, you can’t taste it.
It's like a nice flavour.
It works, right?
What is there not to like?
That's actually amazing.
It's a hundred times better than KFC.
Yeah.
At least there's something healthy in there.
Yeah, what, a pickle?
Yeah.
Well, classically, I'd go with two fries.
I just hope they're not KFC fries.
They look seasoned.
These look very seasoned.
Yeah, that's a proper fry right there.
Look at that one.
These are tough to get into.
What do you mean?
That's just nice.
Compared to other fries, they're tough.
I'm feeling the chips.
You're feeling the chips?
Yeah, I like them.
It's way better than Mcdonalds chips.
Really?
Yeah.
We're a bit picky about chips, you know.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I like all chips.
Oh, wow, yeah, you can tell.
Potatoes, I'm not like a massive fan.
That's weird because I'm Irish.
They make potatoes from your country.
You might have to cut that part out.
You put fries in your burger.
Why not?
Give it a go.
Fair enough.
There's no rules in this game.
I've never seen anyone do that before.
Popeyes.
Does it improve it?
No.
Yes.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, yeah.
If I shake my head, then it means yes.
It means, boy, you have no idea.
Another essential Popeyes item is, of course, the classic fried chicken.
Whoa.
This is what I'm talking about.
Fried chicken.
This is what I'm talking about.
Please don't be spicy.
Please.
It looks really big.
They're way bigger.
You get really small wings in the UK.
But that is a fat piece of chicken.
Look at that.
Oh my gosh.
Get stuck in.
Oh my days.
Oh, wow.
I like the sandwich more.
Okay, yeah.
I don't know.
They're all just so good.
Everything so far.
It's really juicy.
Yeah.
That's the one.
They have way more crunch than any UK chicken wings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's way better.
You need loads of dips and anything for KFC chicken.
This is just perfect.
Yeah, this is bang on.
You feeling the spice?
Yeah.
You took a massive bite.
I don't like pepper.
What?
Pepper's too spicy for you.
Pepper's too spicy for me.
Oh no.
This is the best chicken I've had from a fast food restaurant.
Really?
In Popeye's, very common to have a lot of different sides with your food.
And if you want, you can dip it into this.
Mash and Gravy, yes.
What?
That's gotta be criminal.
What do you mean?
Criminal?
Yeah, you have to put the gravy on the mash.
That's what it is, look.
It's ready made like that though.
Yeah, perfect.
I don't know if that's gonna be good.
Have you had fast food mash and Gravy before?
No.
No, it's not that good.
No, I’m not feeling it.
That is really nice.
I might just carry on with the chicken.
Okay.
Tastes so good.
You try dipping the chicken in the gravy.
Oh, fried chicken and gravy.
I didn't expect it to be that seasoned.
It just makes it better.
Can I dip the burger in?
You can dip the burger in if you want.
I am gonna try that too.
Go for it mate.
You guys are spoiling us.
This colour food is great.
Yeah.
What beige.
Some people say it’s a plate of beige.
Actually a plate of beige has made me the man I am today.
Okay.
Do you prefer the chicken a little bit more spicy?
No.
We've got some hot wings.
No thank you.
With some red hot honey.
Red hot honey?
Honey.
Do you guys like spicy food?
Yeah.
I don't do well with spice.
Okay.
Look, you're getting excited.
Of course I am.
It's like a little boy on Christmas.
How does this compare to hot wings you get in the UK?
I don't get hot wings.
It's amazing.
I love that.
It's not that hot.
I can feel it.
You can feel a little bit of a kick coming.
It's not bad though.
It's because I put a lot at the start.
Yeah, yeah.
It's manageable.
The heat building.
I’m fine, I'm fine.
Just the temperature outside just gets me.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's very warm.
Now it's kicking in.
That is really spicy.
Is it?
Yeah.
Is that why you've both gone quiet?
Yeah.
But the sauce is delicious.
The honey makes it way better.
Yeah, it makes it way better.
Okay.
It's like sweet and spicy at the same time.
Yeah?
It's like the perfect combination.
How do you think this compares to your local chicken shop?
It makes it look bad.
Really?
It makes it look horrible.
Really?
Horrible.
I don't think I can go back to my local chicken shop now and be satisfied.
Really?
Yeah.
You're devouring the food, bro.
Innit word.
You're getting stuck in.
There's nothing left.
I'm so hungry.
You don't even understand.
Bellies rumbling in English.
If you need something to help cool down the spice.
Please.
Another classic side of Popeyes.
Some mac and cheese.
Oh, mac and cheese.
That is not happening.
Please.
I'm just fine with my chicken.
Oh, mac and cheese.
Honestly, of all the mac and cheese I've tried in my life.
Yeah.
I've never liked them.
I'm not a big fan of mac and cheese.
Same here.
Macs and cheese.
Oh my.
I prefer the sides to the mains.
Really?
The mash and gravy, the mac and cheese.
Wow.
Lovely.
Just like, lovely.
I can't believe they'd have this with this though.
I always think mac and cheese goes really well with chicken.
There you go.
I'm going to pass this one.
It's a thumbs up from me.
It's a like this for me.
Split decision.
You get mac and cheese balls, don't you?
Wow.
That's how they're born.
Oh my goodness.
Oh, this mac and cheese is amazing.
I don't care about the wings anymore.
You still feeling the heat?
Yes.
Got to feel bad for your toilet after this.
I have to.
Oh no.
We have one last thing.
Oh, the scones.
And that's biscuits.
Yeah, that's a scone.
This is a biscuit.
That is an American biscuit.
But in the UK, in Popeyes, they serve it with honey.
Honey.
That might actually taste good.
That's a sandwich and a half.
That's really nice.
Very fluffy.
Oh my gosh, that's really good.
I could eat so many of these.
Yeah, it's dangerous.
It's very dry.
You have to have it with honey.
Yeah, with the honey.
Even with the honey, it's still dry bro.
I think it's a bit too bland.
I've never had honey.
Honey ever?
No, I've never had honey before.
Your first time trying honey.
First time.
What do you think?
It's very sweet.
It's basically just sugar.
Yeah, it is.
I think if they put jam on it, it is a scone, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's a thing if you've got a biscuit with gravy, it's American, but a biscuit with jam,
you're heading over to England.
Oh, okay.
You're changing lane a little bit.
I think I feel quite strongly about that.
Alright guys, well that has been your first ever taste of Popeyes.
Solid.
Very solid.
It's amazing.
You nearly cried at half of them because they were too spicy.
Thumbs up, mate.
Yeah, 100%.
It's amazing and I definitely recommend it.
A lot better than British fast food.
I like the sandwich.
That's something else.
Best thing I've ever eaten in my life.
No.
That's a big statement.
It's a big statement, but it's worth it.
It's the best thing I've ever eaten.
Wow.
The only thing I didn't like was the.
The mash.
Yeah, the mash wasn't for me.
The mash was terrible.
If someone said yesterday, would you want spicy hot wings with mash and gravy?
I’d just turn around and walk away.
