- At the end of the day, it's chicken.
Everybody needs to relax, calm down.
It's just chicken!
(intense music)
- Hey, I'm Sarah Beth,
and I'm a former Chick-fil-A employee.
- Hi, my name is Joshua.
I used to work at Popeyes.
- Hey, guys, my name is Alicia.
I am a former McDonald's employee.
- Hi, I'm Victor, and I'm a former KFC employee.
- Hi, my name is Luna.
I used to work at Wendy's.
- The perfect chicken sandwich to me
has to be really well seasoned,
it has to be crispy.
- I want a nice flaky outside,
a crunch when you bite into it.
- The right sauces, the right texture.
- Tastes that it was freshly fried,
that's really important.
- It has to just be something that makes you happy,
or else what are the calories for?
(upbeat music)
My pleasure.
Mm, mm, mm, so good!
Chick-fil-A is the king of kings
when it comes the chicken sandwiches.
- Ooh!
I know what this is, yes.
- Ay, ay, ay!
- Smells really good.
- I like the way the bread looks.
Definitely a hefty piece of chicken.
Mm.
That's actually pretty good.
I'm not a super big fan of pickles,
but when they compliment and they work together
in a sandwich, I'm all for it.
And you can tell by the actual fibers
in the meat that's it real chicken breast.
Which is definitely what I'm looking for
in a chicken sandwich.
- Mm, mm-hmm.
It's amazing.
I do have one critique, though,
and that is I don't like the bun.
It's really buttery,
but otherwise, just high quality chicken.
- So good, oh my gosh.
This reminds me of high school, for real.
I can taste the controversy, like. (laughs)
I mean, other than the fact that they're
(laughs) anti-LGBTQ, I mean,
there's nothing else about it.
I mean, I would eat it everyday.
- This one looks whack.
Okay, there's one single pickle on the bottom,
but okay, there's two pickles right on top
of each other right in the center of the bun.
So, I'm not sure what good that's doing anyone
if you're going from the side.
The bread is kind of just like limp and soggy.
It feels like it's been floating
in the wave pool at an amusement park
for, like, the past hour or two.
Like, honestly.
(laughs) I don't like this very much, is this Chick-fil-A?
Yeah, I don't really care for this very much.
I feel like I've had better Chick-fil-A sandwiches,
though, honestly, so I don't know.
Maybe this particular one is just cursed, you know.
- Out of 10, I'll give this one a solid nine.
- I'm gonna give it an eight.
Gotta give it an eight,
because you know what?
There's always room to improve.
- The chicken and the bread are both delicious
by themselves, so putting them both together
definitely puts them at a strong eight for me.
If I was just served the bread,
it'd be like a five. (laughs)
- This is like a one out of 10.
I don't wanna continue eating it.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- I love the KFC chicken sandwich.
It's a awesome piece of chicken breast.
The bread is banging.
It's got a nice shininess to it,
you know, like just a typical brioche bun.
They use a awesome mayo on it and put a pickle.
Altogether, everything combines.
Awesome, awesome chicken sandwich.
- Mm. (laughs)
Real good bun.
Not soggy, not hard, not flaky.
It's nice and shiny.
We got a good bun, we got good seasons
on the chicken.
We got a nice sauce to chicken ratio.
My one criticism is there are hella pickles on here.
- That's good.
Has good seasoning.
I really like the crisp of the chicken.
It's a big ol' piece of chicken,
it's like a giant chicken tender.
I really like the bread.
I like the sauce.
Everything about it's pretty good.
- So bomb.
Wow, out of all of them, I think this one
has the most flavoring, for sure, the chicken.
The bread is really, really good, too.
Like, I love bread and this bread is amazing.
You can just tell that it's like buttered,
because the top of it is shiny.
I would definitely eat this, like,
at least twice a week.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- Don't know, it's kinda thin.
Like, I feel like it's kind of a thin
piece of chicken.
Which is, I'm not a big fan of that.
The breading is kinda like soggy,
which is like I'm also not a fan of.
Yeah, I'm not impressed with this.
It feels like it's been beaten out.
Like, it looks kinda sad.
Like, it looks like the kid in middle school
who just found out his parents got divorced
and love isn't real, but a sandwich,
you know what I mean?
- It's an eight.
It's a solid eight.
- Seven.
- I would give this one like a solid eight.
- I would give it like a three out of 10,
because the lack of condiments,
the lack of effort, also, (laughs) I feel like
on behalf of it.
And like, half of the chicken is just like
this thin breading, I don't know.
Not a fan.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
(upbeat guitar music)
- I really like the Mcdonald's chicken sandwich,
'cause it's aesthetically pleasing.
You have that big beautiful bun,
the crispy lettuce, tomato.
Mm, so good.
- Shiny fast food bun, delightful.
Little baby tomatoes.
- Looks like a nice flaky crust, let's see.
The bread's a little hard, though.
- I'm actually really not sure where this is from,
but the piece of chicken is ginormous
so I love that already.
(upbeat music)
The breading is actually pretty decent.
It actually has a crunch to it.
I guess I never really eat McDonald's,
so I didn't know that they actually could (laughs)
actually have a good chicken sandwich.
(upbeat music)
- Dry.
I love McDonald's.
I purposely go to McDonald's at three in the morning
to not feel hungry.
I will eat this any day for the fact
that it is McDonald's, but not necessarily
because it's the best chicken sandwich I've ever had.
- I'm not a big fan of the seasoning on this one.
The bread was a little bit,
just not as springy and soft
as other sandwiches might've been.
I really did not like this sandwich.
(upbeat music)
- I mean, it tastes like McDonald's, you know.
Like, you can count on it
to be mediocre, you know what I mean?
Like, it's not gonna be bad,
it's not gonna be good.
You can count on it to be just kind of okay.
I feel like McDonald's is perfect, like,
I just had a bad day and I want food
that is my bad day in food form, (laughs)
you know what I mean?
Like, I feel mediocre, so I'm gonna eat some mediocre food
and hopefully, that'll make me feel better.
I don't know.
I think it's better than the KFC one,
but I'm also not impressed.
- I gotta say, six out of 10.
- I would say it's like a strong six.
- I would give it, if I had to rank it,
I would give it like a five out of 10.
- Ranking is like a six, and I'm not mad at it.
(upbeat music)
- You know, Wendy's has got it right
with their classic chicken sandwich.
It's got the lettuce, the tomato, the mayo,
but we'll see, I guess.
- Mmhmm.
- Oo wee, you could tell by the little pepper bits,
this is most certainly a McDonald's McChicken sandwich.
I think, let me see, I'm gonna try it out now.
Classic, classic.
(upbeat music)
- It's cute, not too much flavor.
- It's not the best thing I've ever eaten,
but I would eat it.
- Could be a little crispier, but it's good.
I would say my main critique is,
where's the spice at?
You know, I need a little bit of that boom.
- It is a little meatful on the inside,
but very good taste.
Classic chicken sandwich.
Definitely among my favorite ones
in the whole lineup of fast food chicken sandwiches.
- I would not feed this to my grandma.
I love you, grandma.
- If I had to rank this sandwich from one to 10,
I would give it like a three.
- I'd give it like a four.
- And I would give this sandwich a six.
- I wanna give this one a solid seven.
This is not McChicken?
You're lying. - [Woman] This is Wendy's.
- Nah, it's not Wendy's.
(laughing)
- But it's banging, though, I guess, nonetheless.
(upbeat music)
- The Popeyes' chicken sandwich slaps.
Everybody knows that it slaps,
and if you haven't tried it, you're missing out.
I mean, I've seen a lot of crazy stuff
like on Twitter and just on social media.
People are getting into fights
and doing some really extra stuff
that I probably wouldn't do for a chicken sandwich.
But if it was like the last chicken sandwich at Popeyes,
I probably would throw some hands
for a chicken sandwich, I'm not gonna lie. (laughs)
- This is a big piece of chicken,
that's a big boy.
- This one probably weighs about, like,
(slap)
a pound by itself.
That's exciting.
- I'm gonna give it a taste.
(upbeat music)
Okay, that one's really good.
- Wow, the star of this sandwich
is the flakiness on the outside.
- This is so good! (laughs)
- It's a nice dollop of mayo,
the pickles compliments really nicely.
I gotta say, yeah, this looks like
it would be pretty expensive.
- Now I know why people are getting beat up over this.
This is good!
(dramatic music)
- Yeah, it's good.
I gotta stop eating this.
I would finish that whole sandwich, though.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, not the best so far.
- This baby is a 10.
- 9 1/2, just because I don't think 10 exists.
This is pretty close to 10 (laughs) I gotta say.
- If I had to give this a rating,
I would give it an eight out of 10,
because it's a great sandwich.
It's got great chicken, great condiments,
but the bread is where it's really lacking.
It's real just like smooshed down.
I feel like, you know, the chicken deserved better frankly,
in terms of the bread, so.
- I'm gonna give it a five.
(upbeat music)
- So, Popeyes won.
I knew it, I said it from the jump.
Popeyes is the best.
People don't stand in those lines
and have those fights for nothing.
I mean, there's a reason that all that stuff
is all over social media, Twitter,
and Facebook and whatnot.
I knew they were gonna win.
I had it in my heart.
(upbeat music)
