The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich, a project two years in the making by the iconic fast food chain, caused an uproar in 2019 as high demand led to a mad dash to try the sandwich before shelves cleared. The sandwich in question contains a fried chicken breast with pickles and cajun sauce on a brioche bun. It is the classic fried chicken sandwich. It is also a foundation that can be fit to taste. With the Popeyes fast food menu, a number of sides and sauces can be added to the original sandwich if there is a preference for spicing, seasoning or just something to break up the flavor. The chicken itself is sweet and crispy with an almost nostalgic and comforting taste. The sauce is not strong or very flavorful but does add texture to the sandwich. For a feel-good meal to eat at a nearby Popeyes or at home, this sandwich is the perfect option.
