This chicken sandwich deserves its own post.

Popeyes - Classic Chicken Sandwich

Grade - 91

As far as fast food chicken sandwiches this is the one that truly lives up to the hype. Now is it the best chicken sandwich ever? Is it worth waiting in lines that wrap around the building two (or even more) times through? Is it worth risking getting stabbed over? Hell to the fuck NO to all of the above. However it is a damned good chicken sandwich, and while others come close to matching it in quality none can exceed it. This is hands down the best chicken sandwich you are going to get outside of something cooked at home or prepared by a professional chef at a sit down restaurant .

Every so often you might get a chicken breast that's a little bit skimpier or drier or a little overcooked, but on the whole the quality control is way more consistent than your average fast food joint Disclaimer: at least when it comes to the sandwiches. Not do I have some horror stories about trying to get certain sides and desserts from Popeyes hoo boy. Let's say their sandwiches are way more homogenous than Bojangles for example, but not nearly as uniform as Chick-fil-A and leave it at that.

The sandwich we got was a typical one from Popeyes- which is to say it was delicious, but not flawless. Big hunk of all white meat chicken breast, beautifully breaded and seasoned immaculately, plenty of sauce spread a bit unevenly, and pickles distributed willy nilly with little rhyme or reason. I can forgive pretty much any flaws in the presentation when the end result is so tasty though. It's the sandwich that started it all and should've ended our list, but unfortunately we still have two to go!

Stay tuned folks. We're planning on finishing this out tonight and fielding suggestions for our next few Chicken Runs.
