Popeye's: Classic Chicken Sandwich: We didn't really have any specific order these were picked in, though this one ended up being one of the final entrants. What can really be said about Popeye's? They're the originators of the chicken sandwich wars and their bold take on what it meant to offer a chicken sandwich on your menu in fast food changed the game forever. They may never enjoy the reputation of having the best service like CFA, or possess the broad marketing power of some of these other restaurants, but no one can ever take away what they brought.

So does THE sandwich still hold up all this time later against so many different competitors? Well, without question! Almost every time I order this sandwich I'm reminded why so many others tried to replicate it. This is just about as close as a fast food restaurant can get to a perfect item. It's probably hard to outdo this sandwich even at a fancy sit down place, but I'm sure it could be done I guess so I can't give it the perfect score. But for the price and taste ratio factor, this can't really be beat. While the spicy version is typically what I'd order, the original still packs loads of flavor and isn't boring in any way, which is pretty impressive considering many of the other sandwiches I tasted were a little boring without a spice factor.
