KFC Is Debuting A New Chicken Sandwich To Compete With Popeyes

KFC is entering the chicken sandwich competition with their brand new menu offering.

Popeyes really got all the free promo when they released their much-talked about chicken sandwich. For whatever case, the world was all too excited to try the sandwich, and with social media helping keep the sandwich in constant conversation, it meant that it was sold out almost immediately when it first debuted.

Well, it seems like KFC wants a piece of the chicken sandwich action, and really, why shouldn't they? The fast food restaurant is, after all, also all about fried chicken. Lo and behold: the "KFC Chicken Sandwich." A name that tells you exactly what it is. 

Andrea Zahumensky, KFC's chief marketing officer, says this new chicken sandwich "boasts an upgrade of every single component" from their last sandwich debut, the "Crisp Colonel."  

Zahumensky continued: "The 'Crispy Colonel' has a lot of fans, but we knew we could do better and it wasn't good enough for us." The newest iteration of the sandwich features a chicken filet on top of brioche bun, and it's topped with pickles and mayo. It'll set you back $3.99 or $6.99 for the full combo meal.

Apparently, it took a year to perfect their chicken sandwich, and now they're finally ready to let the world have a bite. The sandwich is debuting at certain locations in Orlando, Florida for a trial period, while there are plans to roll it out at more than 4,000 KFC locations if all goes well.

McDonald’s Is Adding Fried Chicken Sandwiches To Their Breakfast Menu


The fried chicken wars have just begun.

Over the past several months, the world has never seen such extreme displays of violence and debauchery of over a fast food item like the recently released, Popeye’s chicken sandwich. However, if there is one fast-food chain on the planet that can compete with the highly sought-after sandwich it’s none other than the world’s most prominent fast-food restaurant, McDonald’s. Back in Oct. 2018, the Business Insider obtained leaked documents stating that McDonald’s claiming that they were preparing to introduce two new chicken sandwiches to their breakfast menu.

Inquiring minds at the publication contacted the mega-food company wondering if these plans were true to which a McDonald’s executive cryptically replied, 

“What came first, the chicken or the egg? Set your alarm for more reasons to visit McDonald’s for breakfast in 2020.”

Now, starting on Monday (Feb. 3), all McDonald’s locations be serving the Chicken McGriddle and McChicken Biscuit sandwiches to customers across the country. The new menu items will be fusing the classic, crispy chicken patty of the McChicken in combination with the brand’s Bacon/Sausage, Egg, and Cheese biscuit or the McGriddle pancake batter bun. 

Former McDonald’s CEO, Steve Easterbrook, who is no longer with the company after allegedly fraternizing with an employee, revealed in a statement last year that McDonald’s wanted to explore extra avenues in the highly-competitive fast-food breakfast industry saying, 

“I mean, we’ve seen competitors ramp up their activity during this year as well actually. So having another entrant in next year will just ensure that the market share fight remains as competitive as ever.”

While McDonald’s has had its issues in the past, they’ve continued to be one of the most consistent brands in modern history. Let us know if you’ll be trying out McDonald’s new Chicken McGriddle and McChicken Biscuit breakfast sandwiches in the comment section below.
