Who has the best crispy chicken sandwich? There are so many restaurants to choose from. Names that you've often heard get the most praise certainly include Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. But what about KFC? Or Raising Cane's? And what about the classics...McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's? There are far too many restaurants that boast a crispy chicken sandwich now, leaving the choice for consumers rather difficult. So, I've done all the hard work and drove to every single restaurant in a day (actually, we drove to Popeye's twice since the first was somehow cash-only). I taste-tested every single one, examining each sandwich and also taking into account the fact that experience can certainly vary by location.

Ultimately, there's a list of somewhat clear winners. I'll let you watch to be surprised, but I will say that the top two spots are actually quite close. The top three, however, have very firm and stable positions. I hope that I can help for next time you try to pick a lunch on the go.

    "That chicken is drier than the Sahara desert" My boy Nick has taken notes from Gordon Ramsay
  • @a1phaedits441
    Petition for nick to try and build his spice tolerance, that would be pretty entertaining lol
  • @RARufus
    I was surprised by how good the Burger King hand breaded spicy chicken sandwich was. It was crispy, had good flavor and was very good for fast food crispy chicken sandwiches.
  • @techsavvyhero
    Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting, Nick! Great chicken sandwich tour. Your feedback on them is gold! Looking forward to more :)

    I love that Nick doesn’t pretend to be above fast food restaurants and doesn’t act like they taste like garbage. He is a cook and prefers the finer, fancier foods, but loves some good ass McDonald’s.
  • @Drvcy
    Respect to the dude that works at McDonald’s and vouched for Popeyes as the best chicken sandwhich
  • @danduong1445
    I used to dislike chicken sandwich/burger because it is far inferior compared to beef ones (I had mostly grilled chicken ones). But the first chicken sandwich that changed my mind was the McSpicy Deluxe from McDonalds, it was a super tasty and juicy fried chicken sandwich. They made it really well that I only get chicken sandwich/burger every time I go to a fast food joint. Later on, I continued to try ones from KFC, Popeyes, etc. I must say I am addicted to fried chicken sandwich now lol

    I just recently found your channel, hasn't disappointed once. That being said, I did this exact thing you did around the whole Popeyes chicken sandwich kick. For my rankings top 3 was KFC taking the number uno chick-fil-a taking silver and Popeyes coming a very close 3rd. Even though chick-fil-a does tent to over cook there bird, it really came down to sauces and service. In my opinion you really can't beat a place who's been in the chicken game since 1952. Again great video. I haven't been disappointed since subscribing.

    This should've been a blind test, rating each one blindly and then finding out which sandwich was from which restaurant.
  • @darkraider9656
    i just watched a 20 minute video about crispy chicken sandwiches and i don't regret it
  • @osuguy555
    Popeyes employees being mean to you is part of the experience
  • @isaiahweir5241
    the people at my kfc are nothing like that😭 they’re all 16 year olds who hate their job and gets your order wrong
  • @Frostorm777
    12:05 LOL it’s so funny how those two shops are like basically next together! 😂
  • 2:56 @Nick DiGiovanni, for the sauce, you're supposed to like break or crack the corner of the container itself, then peel it, that usually works for me.
  • @hofey5046
    popeyes: we only accept cash everyone: drives to the next atm prob 5min awy nick: looks like an hour for the next popeyes that accepts credit cards
  • @zalbert_zest
    It's Ironic that the mcdonalds guy said Popeye's is the best While he was wearing a mcdonalds shirt that said "loyal-tee"
  • @kevintate768
    Just found your channel and am enjoying your content. When you go to Popeyes you have got to get Cajun sparkle and put it on your sandwich. Btw, that is not the colonel’s body on the bag it is a southern bow tie. Keep up the good work!
