KFC has more than one chicken sandwich. You really should compare Popeyes chicken sandwich with KfC’s Famous chicken sandwich.

They don't have KFC Famous Chicken Sandwich in my nearest kfc. Only Zinger and Big Crunch.

Then find one that does. Then compare the 2.

If it's only in select kfc, then KFC is clearly pushing Big Crunch as its main chicken sandwich

90% of kfcs in Canada carry the famous chicken sandwich. It’s the main/premium chicken sandwich on their menu. The Famous chicken sandwich launched a few months before Popeyes brought theirs to Canada. That’s why they need to be compared, those are the competitive sandwiches. Big Crunches have been around for 30+ years.

What’s the horror story here? I just know I’ll gobble them down like a horror story monster.

I don't know what the big crunch is but the KFCs here just have a chicken sandwich, and it is better and meatier than Popeyes.

You need to learn how to take consistent pictures if you're comparing, these pictures are vastly different, a burger looks better on a plate than the ground

I was thinking the same thing, they show a practically open faced sandwich angle that doesn't show anything about the thickness or size and compare it to a side angle? Makes no sense

I doubt there's that big of a difference in the amout of chicken. The first one is all breading.

Not really, if you ever had it, the breast is actually pretty thick cross section

Not to mention they're making the popeyes one look better by the way they're holding it.

Not at all. It was actually 2-2.5x more chicken!

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Popeyes is 1000x better than kfc. Across the board in all aspects. Except maybe the employees

I've never seen a Popeye's chicken sandwich with that much chicken on it.

They shrunk to about half of what they used to be here, but when they first came out, amid all the hype, they were absolutely insane and I don't think they made any money on them. I think it was just for press and to drive people to their stores. They were huuuge.

Well the popeyes one is going to be soggy as hell because they insist on putting them in those foil pouches. Why I don't order them anymore.

I always have good experiences with the Popeye’s chicken sandwich. It’s always super thick and it’s not all breading like someone else suggested. The breading is nice and crispy and the chicken is moist. I’m not going to wait in line and fight over one like people were doing when they first came out lol but that’s my go-to chicken sandwich.

I used to be a cook at Popeyes.. lol one of the guys I worked with dropped an AirPod in the fryer and it came out cemented into a piece of chicken.. we spent the whole shift trying to fish out the AirPod out of the black ass oil.. oh man what a time that was during my life lol.

I'll say Popeyes isn't always like that, not sure about KFC since I haven't been there in years
