Popeye’s recently threw their hat in the chicken sandwich thing and it seriously wowed the eaters everywhere, including me. I generally always thought of fast food as quick, affordable, greasy and often underwhelming – a squishy bun, some crunchy, salty fried chicken and a tangy pickle or sauce to balance out a little bit of bite. But hey, Popeye’s took that simple combination and turned it into a crazy one with a twist that everyone is is simply loving.
Popeye’s is a California-based restaurant. Fried chicken is their specialty which i have found consistently fresh, has a well-seasoned batter, and is always juicy. To put their Popeye’s chicken sandwich into words, i’d say; take everything good you know about Popeye’s chicken and put it between two gloriously fresh, sweet buns. Throw in some tangy tart pickle chips and a creamy, savory sauce and boom: the Popeye’s chicken sandwich is born. It really is a tiny miracle.
What’s so special in it?
The classic version of chicken sandwich sports regular chicken with creamy mayonnaise, whereas the spicy version calls for spicy chicken (duh) paired with a flavorful Cajun sauce. I, of course, got spicy because tongue-tingling food is the my favorite, and let me tell you, it was everything I ever dreamed of when I first had that first heavenly bite off that “Popeye’s chicken sandwich.” Mmmmmmhh amazing! Just at $4 , it’s not only a steal but the best chicken sandwich available at fast food restaurants right now.
- The chicken came out hot, juicy, and well-seasoned.
- The buns held up nicely and did a good job of absorbing the grease of the chicken without actually tasting particularly greasy.
- The pickles were crisp and tart — enough acidity to cut through the heaviness of the fried chicken and the creamy mayo-based sauce — without feeling particularly overwhelming.
- Every ingredient had purpose; the balance was perfect.
- At a great price of $4 this sandwich is a money saver!
I gobbled the entire sandwich in literally three minutes and had to really cogitate about another one. Try it out yourself and you will thank me!
