I feel like the only people who think it's God's gift to food are people who have never had Popeyes before lol. This is great for Popeyes because it's bringing in new customers. But I already thought Popeyes was fucking awesome, so it didn't blow me away like it did others. I still think it's very very good though. The chicken is super moist and crispy and the pickles blow away CFA's dinky little neon "pickles."
Ironically, I think the new chicken sandwich has increased business at my local CFA. Popeyes can't fulfill the orders fast enough, so all the people just go to CFA instead of waiting in line lol.
Overall, I think it's a better sandwich than CFA's, but sometimes when you're craving a CFA sandwich, that is the only thing that can satisfy it (that sweet sweet MSG). And also Popeyes is wildly inconsistent and CFA is the opposite. The Popeyes near me have rude employees, dirty interiors, and it sometimes takes them 20 minutes to get you a simple order. Sometimes the food is cold. They screw up orders a lot. CFA is consistently clean with nice (sometimes overly nice) employees and they're a well oiled machine.
