Lecka Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I put Chick-fil-A, but my husband was going to try Popeye’s this week but they were sold out! We’re interested in trying it.

Terabith Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I love Chick Fil A, even though I'm a raging liberal. I know it makes me bad, but I love everything about their food, their service, their efficiency. I tried twice to get Popeye's sandwiches, but they were out both times. So I don't feel like I can vote. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonflower Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I like Chick Fil A fries because they don't fry them with the animal products. I haven't eaten a chicken sandwich in 10 years. Terabith, don't worry, I am a raging conservative and I love Whole Foods prepared foods. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 While I love Chick-Fil-A, especially because I can get kids meals as an adult (2 chicken strips, please, with ranch and buffalo), I think my favorite chicken sandwich is Bojangles. It is just a fried piece of chicken on a biscuit. I usually add some hot sauce. It is simple, but so, so, good. For those of you who don't live in Bojangles territory, try it if you ever travel to where there is a Bojangles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I’ve never had a chicken sandwich at any fast food venue. Is that unusual? I’m picky about sandwiches and how they are constructed. So I voted for Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach. Because I feel it in the air the summer’s out of reach. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who don't live in Bojangles territory, try it if you ever travel to where there is a Bojangles. I'm a mostly-vegetarian, and I don't remember the last time I ate fried chicken (years and years and years). And I think that's what the poll is about. But I did have a Bojangles grilled chicken sandwich last year and it was far and away the best fast food grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had. I also like Bojangles 'cause I can make a veggie meal with their sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The only one I ever tried was CFA, and I didn't like it. (I might well never eat fast food again, so sort of a moot point for me now.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, chicken sandwiches aren't my first choice at anyplace, even CFA. But a while ago, probably a few years now, McDs had a chicken sandwich, I think they called it "southern style." It was a fried chicken type sandwich with pickles on it. If it was still being sold, that would be my choice. Otherwise chicken sandwiches are generally all pretty similar to me. ETA: I have never eaten anything at Popeyes. Actually, until a few years ago, I hadn't been to a place where one existed. Yes, I've had that! It was good. Similar to chik-fil-a...And we didn't have a chik-fil-a here at the time. I think they might have put a melted buttery substance in the roll. Hahaha Until chik-fil-a got here, before & after McDonald's stopped serving that southern style, I loved Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich. I was too embarrassed to even list it...But Burger King has this superprocessed chicken patty sandwich ("original chicken sandwich") that is a greasy juicy mess. It was what I'd get to eat when I worked at BK when I was a teen. So while I'd say it is horrible, and it didn't make the poll, I do have one every few years.

Lecka Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Not all Sonics have Sonic ice. Seriously.

Crispy, golden-fried Sunday Homestyle Chicken® drizzled with our maple glaze, topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and sweet n' smoky mayo on a bun. Served with a sampling of Cole Slaw and your choice of a Cup of Soup or any Country Side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lecka Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) I can tell the difference between Chick-fil-A and Sonic ice pellets. Sonic is better, but Chick-fil-A is also good. I have only had the generic Sonic ice on road trips and then I am still happy to be getting a flavored soda, so it is not totally disappointing. There are no Sonics where I live now and I don’t miss it, but we have some good regional foods here that we won’t have when we move back into a Sonic area. Really Sonic ice is extremely good, though!

And my 73 year old father talked me into trying a cup of their soup a year or so ago, and I really liked that too.

Junie Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 When I was a teenager (and long before I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy) I worked in several fast food restaurants. I liked McDonald's chicken sandwich, but I ate it with sweet-and-sour sauce instead of mayo. It was kind of sickening sweet. At KFC, I liked the Chicken Littles (they were different than the ones offered now). The chicken, mayo, dinner roll combination was completely out of proportion and I kind of liked it that way.

chiguirre Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm another fan of Chik-fil-a's tortilla soup. It's my favorite fast food item. I suspect I'll like Popeye's sandwich better if I ever get around to ordering it because, frankly, Popeye's without a biscuit is just not the same.

We all agreed...the first three bits are fine e and we’d probably eat it in the dark with no advanced warning. Still, the adults all preferred ground meat and veggie patties to the impossible burger she DS couldn’t even finish his. CFA reigns supreme her but only DD likes it that much.

I'm also now craving the BLT one someone mentioned, but hate going to Cracker Barrell so won't be getting it. They have the opposite kind of customer service as CFA.

BarbecueMom Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I’m not a chicken sandwich fan, but one time, before food allergies kept me out of fast food restaurants, I bought and enjoyed a spicy chicken sandwich from CFA. However... they should have had a warning that if you have a, shall we say, “sensitive intestinal tract”, eating that sandwich is equivalent to swallowing a small angry dragon, who will then breathe fire as he is later released from his colonic prison, sending searing, burning pain throughout one’s digestive exit paths. It was mildly amusing, to experience the sandwich from Hell, purchased at the (un)official fast food restaurant of our local First Baptist Church. Even though it was delicious and made a funny story, I never ate one of those sandwiches again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
