Popeye's Chicken Sandwich |OT| See y'all Sunday
- Thread starter RastaMentality
- Start date
Are they new or recently tightened?
Braces never prevented me from eating, just required a small amount of aftercare after certain meals.
They may be doing you a favor, the only thing dirty is a Popeye's kitchen (at least here in the US) lolMontreal why you doing me dirty like this?
Newish. Biting into burgers and things with crispy or hard skin still hurts to eat.
I wanted to try this thing out, but my the Popeye's near my work had a sign that said they were sold out until Thursday.
Purchased one last bigot sandwich before fully transitioning to popeyes and damn, it's not even a contest.
That red sauce is literal fire. I can do one, maybe two lines of it. Anything more would not work out well...
First time I went I chuckled at the single line. That's it?
Told him to spread it all over...
HahaahahhahaThe lone Popeyes near me is garbage. I fell for the hype and went to grab one and I am assuming instead of telling me they were sold out, they just slapped two tenders on a stale bun. This isn't what this sandwich is supposed to look like, is it?
hahahahaha
HAHAHAHHAHAa
I'm sorry hahaha. But this is not a suprise at all. It's obvious they made your sandwich like this due to laziness or they're actually out of the the chicken being used for the sandwiches.
Long story short: My sister used to work in our local popeyes over a year ago and she told me how BAD it was. Manager barely cares, coworkers are lazy, and the chicken strips are so demanding that the workers behind the kitchen can't catch up making enough chicken for the next few hours. They fully hand breaded their chicken too if I remember correctly on what she told me.
It's probably one of the reasons why the service is so slow. It doesn't help with the fact that other coworkers usually don't care at all.... she also told me that it was only 1 GUY doing all of this work... 1 man. That's not enough.
Not sure how Chick Fil a operates but there has to be a reason why their service is so dam fast. Not sure if their chicken is prepackaged or they actually hand bread it inside all day long. Either way, still delicious.
Going by how insanely packed my local Popeyes has been as of late I'm guessing the sandwich has been a success. I went there for lunch today and the amount of cars packing the place was nuts. I didn't even bother with the drive through as it was like 15 cars deep and inside was no different, easily 20 people waiting and another 20 showed up and just walked out after seeing the long wait inside. The sandwich has sold out every time they get it from what the manager was saying.
Why are you doing lines of sauce? Terrible idea. You're gonna make a mess out of your nose.
Tried the spicy sandwich today, it was pretty good. If you want a crunchy and less spicy version of the Chick-Fil-A sandwich (with the bonus of not supporting a homophobic company), this is your bag. CFA still has the better flavor but they don't get my business anymore so this is a fine substitute. Gotta say, Popeye's needs to step their game up with a V2 of the sandwich and knock the spicy mayo shit off. The heat should come from the chicken, not some sauce drenching the bun.
In terms of flavor, this is really just a matter of preference though. How much heat do you want and how crispy/chewy do you like it?

My man! I'm a regular at Crisp and Split-Rail but The Budlong has some Nashville Hot Chicken that will make your day and ruin your night if you catch my drift.
Popeyes closest to my house actually stopped selling them this evening. Forced to eat regular chicken like the rest of the family.
I went earlier and the drivethrough wrapped around the fucking building. Took like 25 minutes to get through. There was a sign that said they were sold out but at that point I said fuck it I'm eating something from here. I ask how long they were sold out and they said they have them again. I got a spicy chicken and my lord parden me chickfila. It is indeed better, that sauce is delicious. Cant wait to try again when the hype dies down a bit.
If I had to rank the spicy sandwiches
BK > CFA > Popeyes > Wendys
Idk but that BK sandwich when nice and fresh is appropriately spicy and delish. CFA is more consistent in taste and I never get it cold. Popeye's was good but it really wasn't spicy the past 2 sandwiches I ate, damn good though. Wendy's is bottom of the barrel, inconsistent in taste in my area and I always get the shit cold.

Third one in two days pray for me brehs, drive thru backed up so got off and everyone ahead of me in line getting the sandwich
Luckily I tried both before the hype. Drove past 2 popeyes multiples times throughout and the line was way too long each time. Decided to wait in a line 30 minutes ago and they ended up being sold out. This is crazy. Popeyes aint ready.
Add me in with the folks who cant stand the amount of sauce they're using. Put the spice in the breading please. Still the regular without the mayo was absolutely better than any Chik fil A offering.

Has the sandwich hype been caused mostly from commercials or social media? You rarely hear about a fast food item causing this much fanfare
Probably social media and the comparisons to Chik-Fil-A. Even the respective twitter accounts got into the action with them throwing shade at each other.
Went to Popeyes for the first time ever today to try this but they had run out of them by the time I got there. I ended up getting "boneless wings" but I saw a bunch of people just ask for it then leave.
Halal Guys I love very much. I always get the beef platter with extra white sauce and pita, sprinkle some of their hot sauce throughout and I always end up in the bathroom, defeated. So good though 🤣
Even more of a reason to stay away from CFA Popeyes got entertainment😂
Anyway, I hope Popeyes start moving their resources and focus on these chicken sandwiches. I would really love to see CFA go down the shitter seeing how they company is bad and all
I totally disagree. Popeyes sandwich has a crunch Chick Fil-As doesn't have. I cant believe how good it is actually.
You came to the wrong place if you want fried chicken, there's only like 2 KFCs on the whole island.Montreal why you doing me dirty like this?
Rotisserie chicken on the other hand is everywhere...
My wife went to not one, but TWO Popeyes today and they were both out of sandwiches.
SMH this would never happen to CFA. Their chicken factories are powered by homophobia and MAGA, but they run on time(except on Sunday)

I had it this morning. Went right at 10am and was the second order of the day. Took about 12 minutes before I got my sandwiches (I ordered a classic and spicy). The person behind the counter told me the reason it takes so long is that they're not allowed to just drop a bunch of sandwich filets in the fryer. They can only do a few at a time apparently. Anyway, I halved both of the sandwiches to see which I preferred and I actually liked the classic better. For $4, it's definitely a good buy and I would bet that as the product matures, they're going to raise it to $5 and say the $4 was the "introductory price". I saved the other halves for tomorrow as air fryer reheating brings sandwiches like this back to life. As far as the comparisons to Chick-Fil-A, I enjoy their sandwiches but I'm not a huge fan to begin with. I like the Popeye's better. In part because it's a heartier sandwich and value proposition matters to me. Anyway, thumbs up.
Replace their red sauce with their BBQ sauce and mix it with the white sauce and that's the ticket to combo platter bliss.

I do like the spicy sandwich a lot, more than chick fil a's
but I wish they could add spice to the breading like they do with their other spicy chicken
relying on the sauce for all the heat isn't a problem if it has got consistent coverage, which aint always the case
good pickles, tho. thicker cut than most fast food pickles, not tiny and floppy

I don't think there's a huge difference in quality between Popeye's and Chick Fil A. I'd give the edge to Chick anyway because it's not as overwhelmingly massive as Popeye's but my Chick Fil A stays crazy busy all the time so it's nice to have an alternative.
