I regret to report that it is painfully average. Was merely a fried tender slapped between two soggy buns with some mayo and a pickle in between. Not worth the eye roll/sassy attitude and slow service I received from the ladies behind the counter.

Did you get the spicy sandwich? Because that's the one people love.

When the Popeye’s chicken sandwich debuted, it deserved the hype. It was amazing accomplishment. I tried to recapture the magic by having one a few weeks back, and can say the bloom is off the rose. Chicken was about half the size it used to be, wasn’t crispy, and the bun was a cross between soggy and stale.

That being said, it was still better than any other fast food chicken sandwich.

I've had it three times this month and it was nothing like you describe. Truly the GOAT.

People who still claim CFA sandwich > Popeyes either have had an off sandwich, or are so blinded by CFA they refuse to see the truth. Like an ostrich with its head in the sand.

Wendy’s QC is too scattershot to rank its chicken sandwich above CFA. In BR at least

I tend to agree, the problem is Wendy's isn't consistent at all.

Neither is Popeyes. Though the ones out here in AZ are pretty terrible, unfortunately.

You reported. No one asked for one.

ETA: Never had one.
