re: Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Drove out of my way and went to the Sherwood Popeye around 9p Saturday. Was the only car in the drive-thru and got my combo instantly.

I just had the same experience at the S. Sherwood location by the interstate during lunch. Super fast and friendly service to get my sandwich.

For me though, the spicy is too spicy. I'll get the regular version next time.

Got my "give it another chance" sandwich today. Spicy chicken, extra sauce and extra pickles fulfilled. They were out of pickles with the first one I had. The pickles definitely make a difference. This time there was extra sauce as requested. The sauce is really good. This time the chicken was larger than the bun and then some. It wasn't as thick, but it was also not as dry as the first sandwich. If you like chicken sandwiches, it's very good for the price. I would not wait more than about 10 minutes or so for one and that's assuming they are having to fry more chicken, but I would eat one again.

It’s probably expectations. I can’t imagine a FF chain really springing for TOL anything

i had one the other night and it was literally the exact same as before. It wasn't piping hot since I assume they're just making them and bagging as people order, but it was still delicious af

I had one for the first time in Bayou Vista (just checked, thought I was in Patterson) on Sunday. Wait time inside was five or ten minutes and the sandwich was piping hot. I was wishing I wasn't in a hurry and had time to let it cool a bit before shoveling it in. I liked it. Super crunchy in every bite.

I had my first for lunch today.

Spicy combo.

Drive thru, line went quickly. No issues.

Wow. For a fast food sandwich, I was blown away. It was around 1130 this morning and I want another one. I've been thinking about it ever since.

The bun was buttery smooth and fluffy hot. The chicken breast was moist and juicy on the inside but crunchy and crisp on the outside. But not too crunchy. The pickles were like hand picked cucumbers finely sliced and marinated just enough. The sauce drizzled off the sandwich onto my fingers and I licked it off like a dog tasting peanut butter.

It's like a drug. I can't believe it was that good.

That’s cringe bro

Finally tried one. I hate mayo so ordered regular, no mayo. It had a nice crunch, it was hot and fresh, the meat was good...but...it was bland. It needs a sauce. A Chick-Fil-A sandwich, regular or spicy, doesn't.

Had one last week, pretty good, would prob be a lot better with a deboned chicken thigh

That's why you order spicy

Which is made spicy via a mayo-based sauce. . If they made a spicy chicken sandwich with spices in the batter like their spicy tenders, then that could be a game changer.
