Cigar Musings

For the longest time I have always wanted to do a taste test between the Chick-fil-A and the Popeye’s chicken sandwiches. A few years back, I remember when there was a debate between which was the best chicken sandwich and if memory serves me correctly, it caused an outage of Popeye’s chicken sandwich. Anyway, tonight is the night for me to finally give it a try. Yes, I am always years behind every one else. That is how I roll. When there is a new hot show on TV or streaming, I don’t start watching it. I tend to wait years later to check it out. Well, there are a couple of exceptions but, I digress.

Visually, I compared the sizes of the two sandwiches and from my perspective the Popeye’s sandwich seems larger than Chick-fil-A’s. The Popeye’s piece of chicken seems larger and flakier topped with some type of white sauce and a larger slice of a pickle. Chick-fil-A’s had few smaller slices of pickles with no sauce. The old sniffer tells me the two sandwiches smell amazingly delicious.

With great anticipation I slowly unwrap each sandwich and revelantly place each on its own plate. I take my first bite out of the Chick-fil-A sandwich and I immediately taste the buttery bun with the taste of pickle and crispy piece of chicken. Yummy, very delicious. The second bite is from the Popeye’s sandwich, there isn’t any buttery taste from the bun; however, it is a slight sweetness and the bread is very moist. The chicken seems to have a slight tangy flavor with the taste of the pickle and the sauce which only enhances the flavor. I took a bite of the piece of chicken without the sauce and I seriously think Popeye’s doesn’t need to add any sauce to the sandwich. Very good.

I also took note, the Popeye’s sandwich is priced at $9.99 while the Chick-fil-A came in at $5.75. If you want a great chicken sandwich but, are on a budget, go with Chick-fil-A. I feel that you really can’t go wrong on either sandwich when it comes to quality and taste.

I did finish both sandwiches, how could I not, the two are amazing. I did like the Chick-fil-A sandwich a little more than Popeye’s only because, the bun had a nice buttery flavor to it.

Let me know if you did a taste test between the two sandwiches and which do you prefer.

Taste Test Day 2 will be In-N-Out versus 5 Guys burgers. I may add a French Fries test taste as well. Burger King vs. McDonald’s.

Until next time… Smoke’em if you got’em.
