Don’t be alarmed by its size (although it looks like it just swallowed at least two Chick-Fil-A sandwiches) because the flavor is on point. If you’re hungry, it’s a great option because of how thick the chicken patty is. One of the best things about this sandwich is its size. But, we’ll give anyone a chance, and we’re sure glad we didn’t let our preconceived notions hold us back from tasting this masterpiece. Shake Shack is known for its burgers, fries, and shakes – not it’s chicken sandwich. There’s no better excuse to add dessert to your order. If the spice is too much, cool down with a Frosty. Sometimes, the original can be a bit blah. We prefer the spicy variation of the Wendy’s Chicken Sandwich, simply because it’s a bit more flavorful. It’s nestled in between a soft, toasted kaiser bun. Just like many of the chicken sandwiches you will find on this list, Wendy’s variation is topped with the classic lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Seasoned with peppery spices and fried, the chicken breast is moderately juicy. The peppery spice combined with the creamy ranch is a great duo and turns the volume down on the heat.Ĭalories: 450 Wendy’s Spicy Chicken SandwichĪnother classic fast food chicken sandwich is the Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich. If you can’t live without sauce on your sandwich, we recommend pairing the Spicy version with their buttermilk ranch. You’ll be 60 cents poorer, but the cheese, lettuce, and tomato might be worth it. If you prefer something with more toppings, you can try the Deluxe Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It is topped with dill pickle slices and sandwiched between a toasted, buttered bun. It’s the same concept as the original, but with a kick (nothing crazy here, it’s still Chick-Fil-A…). We also live in a culture that’s getting healthier by the minute (okay, maybe not quite that fast, but more and more people are concerned with clean eating nowadays.) A fried chicken sandwich should never be your first option if you’re dieting, but Chick-Fil-A’s ingredients are far cleaner than Popeyes.Ĭalories: 690 Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwichįor you wild cards, Chick-Fil-A’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich is another solid choice. The Popeyes Sandwich is that person you meet in your prime that has everything you want: the appeal, the spiciness, and he hotness. (But if you do need a condiment, Chick-Fil-A sauce is the way to go.)įor those of you ready to riot, let us explain why Popeye’s comes in a close second to the Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich. Plus, the toppings never overpower the rest of the sandwich, which is our number-one critique for the ones that are lower on our list.Īnd think about it… you don’t even need sauce to enjoy this sandwich. The texture of the chicken patty has the ideal crispiness, while the bun is always warm and buttered. Sure, every sandwich has its own flair, but for the most part, they all taste relatively similar. To start, this is the only chicken sandwich that tastes different from the rest. But, the sandwiches speak for themselves, and there is something undeniably perfect about Chick-Fil-A’s recipe.

If you were in the middle of the recent Chick-Fil-A and Popeye’s feud, you may disagree with Chick-Fil-A stealing the number one spot for the best chicken sandwich.

So, which of the best chicken sandwiches will come out on top? Everyone act surprised. We’ve ranked these fast-food chicken sandwiches by four key components: bun, toppings, texture, and flavor. Or, there’s too much chicken and not enough of everything else. There’s often too much mayo and not enough bun. It’s hard to mess up a burger, but when it comes to chicken, the stakes are high. And no chicken patty deserves to be sandwiched in between soggy – or worse – cold buns. Nobody deserves to bite into a rubbery – or worse – undercooked chicken patty.
