1) Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich

Popeye’s was the inventor of fast food chicken, so it’s only fair that they claim the top spot with their chicken sandwich. I haven’t had a more crispy sandwich than this tender white meat chicken breast fillet. The meat is first marinated in an authentic Louisiana seasoning blend, then hand breaded and breaded in a buttermilk coating. While it would always win on its own because it’s just so good, it only gets better with barrel-dried crispy pickles, classic or spicy mayonnaise on a toasted butter brioche bun. I know, we have mouth water too …

2) Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich

With a slogan “Eat Mor Chikin ‘”, their chicken had better be out of this world and in luck for them – it is. It’s all in the details with their Spicy Chicken Sandwich and even some of the smallest ingredients can go a long way. Not only is the chicken seasoned with a spicy blend of peppers and breaded by hand, it’s also pressure-cooked in 100% refined peanut oil. With dill pickles and a buttery bun with a deluxe option, the icing on the cake of this nearly perfect sandwich is the iconic Chick-Fil-A sauce you’ll use. If the spices are too hot for you, their original chicken sandwich is also up to the job.

3) McDonald’s Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Honestly, I was surprised to rank McDonald’s this high on the list, because I think of the fast food giant for their burgers and fries on their chicken. But to my surprise, their crispy buttermilk chicken sandwich will become my new must-have menu item. What wins here is how crispy it is. It’s raised on an artisanal roll, topped with green leaf lettuce and a slice of tomato with mayonnaise.

4) Wendy’s chicken pub pretzel and bacon sandwich

Yes, this is actually the same caliber of a pub sandwich you would find at a local pub in Dublin, Ireland. This “Fresh, Never Frozen” chain recently released their Chicken Pretzel and Bacon Sandwich and I hope they never take it off the menu. Not only is the chicken crispy and juicy, but unique condiments such as warm beer cheese sauce, applewood smoked bacon, smoked honey mustard, and crispy fried onions make it one of a kind. And the best part? A pretzel bun, literally my dreams in sandwich form.

5) Shake Shack Hot Chick’n Sandwich

While Shake Shack’s burgers are hard to beat, their latest Hot Chick’n Sandwich comes pretty close. It’s an original sandwich you won’t be able to find anywhere else – their own refreshing cherry coleslaw sprinkled with guajillo and a cayenne pepper blend that took them months to perfect. It’s more than juicy and for those who like it hot, you can order it “hot” or “extra hot”. The chicken is made fresh and cooked slowly under vacuum in a buttermilk marinade (a fine cooking technique that prevents overcooking).

6) Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Chicken-Fil-A

If you’re not feeling fried, Chick-Fil-A’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich is the best alternative in the game. From its smoky taste to juicy boneless grilled chicken breast with lemon and herbs, this healthier option doesn’t. not sacrifice taste. While most grilled fast food chickens can be left dry and overcooked, this sandwich defies the odds.

7) KFC Crispy Colonel Sandwich

While I was hoping to enjoy KFC’s Crispy Colonel Sandwich, I can’t say I did. Although it promises crispness, it was more chewy than crispy. Compared to sandwiches from other restaurants, I was surprised how small this sandwich is. The bun was nothing special and seemed like a missed opportunity to compliment the meat.

8) Burger King Crispy Chicken Sandwich

The general consensus is in place – with “Burger” in their name, I would recommend Burger King to stick with burgers. It was good, other than the stale potato bun. The chicken itself was a bit dry and wasn’t as thick as I thought it would be. Overall, that sets the average and you should probably be spending your money on one of their signature sandwiches like the Whopper.

9) Arby’s Classic Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Arby’s describes this classic crispy chicken sandwich as “nothing fancy. Just real good taste. While I agree that there is nothing fancy, I would beg to disagree on good taste. The dealbreaker for me is that the sandwich tasted warmed up and wasn’t juicy. Without it Arby nailed it in his promotional message, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.
