sandwich: Fine! The Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is a perfectly fine sandwich. The chicken itself is thick and juicy, with the same crispy, flaky batter that you’ll find on a standard piece of Popeyes fried chicken. Though it tastes good, Popeyes’ chicken batter has always sort of reminded me of whorled bark on a sickly tree, simultaneously hypnotic and unappealing. When combined with a bun, the batter is honestly a bit excessive…. A generous smear of spicy sauce adds some heat and lubrication, while a single pickle beneath the chicken offers a tart crunch.”
Full Disclosure: So we tried the Popeye’s chicken sandwich and this is what we thought: It was good. Was it mindblowing? Was it life-changing? Ehhh, it was just good. I mean it’s a chicken sandwich, not a full meal. The sauce was good, but not if you’re not a sauce person then the chicken sandwich was battered very well. More crispy than Chik-fil-A and well-seasoned.
But don’t take our word for it, what do you think?
