KFC makes a play for Popeyes' crown with a massive new sandwich that looks almost identical to the latter's game-changing chicken sandwich

The pandemic may have put much of the world on pause, but the chicken sandwich wars rage on.The sandwich sounds a lot like Popeyes' sandwich, even costing the same price — $3.99. It has a larger chicken filet on a brioche bun with thick pickle slices and a choice of classic and spicy mayonnaise.

Popeyes' chicken sandwich has been a powerful driver of sales and hype for the brand, and Popeyes is the only fast-food chain to post a profit during the pandemic.The new chicken sandwich will cost $3.99 and will feature a chicken filet on a brioche bun with mayonnaise and thick pickle slices.

"We wanted a chicken sandwich that really lives up to our legacy as the fried chicken experts and, let's face it, ours wasn't the one to beat," KFC US Chief Marketing Officer Andrea Zahumensky said in the press release.

This one should keep our health system plenty busy

Chicken plagiarism.

Meh. Popeyes’ sandwich didn’t change any game.

I don’t see the nutritional info there. The Hardee’s Big chicken is 700 w/mayo, this KFC one looks much higher based on the amount of crispy breading, bet it clocks in over 850 for just the dressed sandwich. And they’ll sell it with two cookies and a tub of Mac n cheese for $5

ChickfilA is like, don't forget about the King.

ChicFilA10 is still better

Ummm Teeravchris KFC?

They already had this sandwich out already. Just add three pickles to the bottom bun. Do a publicity campaign during a Pandemic. Unemployment is recorded breaking HIGH too 😏

Popeyes is made by angels so good luck KFC.

GPollowitz Why is KFC punching down?

I'm no expert, but a national health crisis might be a bad time to eat more fried chicken.

soulphoodie It doesn’t look spicy

soulphoodie Now what roywoodjr

THIS is the best chicken sandwich

Finally - some good news!!

Who the hell introduces a new 'fried' anything during a time that it will not be eaten until the purchaser takes it somewhere else to eat it and it has become steamed/soggy?

KFC HAD PICKLES ON THEIR SANDWICHES FIRST

Unhealthy.

Popeye's hasn't exactly conquered Chick-Fil-A, yet, folks. Take a breath.

InsiderFood All chicken sandwiches look alike or no?

GPollowitz

And ChickfilA be like...

'Game-changing'. People take chicken and bread too seriously.

The sandwich is fire fwiw

Popeyes chicken KFC's nasty, wet for some reason, ass chicken..
