I don't usually ever eat chik-fil-e i got a spicy chicken sandwich today and wowee it was good

@Moon Their spicy sandwich is too spicy for me. Also, I need my veggies, even in token amounts. So I go for the "Deluxe". Which, apparently, means "slightly better balanced for old men".

popeyes blows it out of the water imo

@animeirl I like popeyes a lot but i haven't had their spicy chicken sandwich so I'll have to try that next

@animeirl @Moon Popeyes feels like slop food. Dirty but tasty with no refinement. Chick fil a is clean, tasty, and I don't have guilt after eating it. Chick fil a fries are fucking gross though

Dunno, might vary from store to store or region to region but my experience is that popeyes is almost always crisp and fresh and tangy while chick fil a is a bit limp and not as flavorful.

@animeirl @Moon I've gotten bad chick fil a and I know why it was bad. When you bread the filets you need to press hard on the raw filets with the breading otherwise it won't stick. I used to work there, light presses was lead to breading being thin, non existent, or falling off

@creamqueen @Moon @animeirl BTW, I went to Chick-Fil-A for the first time on the tail end of the boycott, years ago. The publicity admittedly put it on my radar, but I waited a couple of months until the hour-long lines abated. And by some accident I got the spicy sandwich that Moonman got, although I knew that I didn't like the spicy things. That experience kind of soured my on the whole thing. So for a few years, I kept thinking, "I'll support the free speech, but maybe some other time!" But coincidentally my wife expressed a desire to sample Chick-Fil-Eh a month ago, and the Deluxe turned out to be pretty decent. I've never been to Long John or Pope Yes!.

@union @Moon @animeirl Chick Fil A's sandwich is a staple. it is the standard. Thats why its so good. It is THE chicken sandwich. Their spicy sandwich is really good too. Their nuggets are the exact same meat and seasoning as their chicken sandwich, so if you dont want the bread, get the nuggets. The strips on the other hand are amazing, theyre marinated and breaded. They have a lineup of grilled chicken items, but they really aren't that great, but theyre good. I don't care for them because they have quite the markup in price. Everything except the fries and hashbrowns are fried in 100% refined peanut oil. The fries and hashbrowns are fried in canola oil.

@union @Moon @animeirl I know this much because I worked there for about a year. I could answer any question about the main menu items, minus the salad. cfa is a much healthier alternative to any other fried chicken you can get
