1. ChicFilet’s spicy deluxe

2. Popeye’s is better, but Chick fil a is better value.

3. Popeyes is both depending on which store you go to at what time. Which of course is entirely unpredictable.

   Chick-Fil-A’s Spicy Chicken Deluxe with pepperjack is always going to be good.

4. I honestly like Wendy’s for a spicy Chicken. Chick Fil A is definitely up there. Popeyes is up there.

   Hard to say which is the worst. Maybe Hardee’s but I haven’t had anything from a Hardee’s in a long while.

5. Wendy’s…sleeper hit

6. Wendy’s is my favorite

7. Wendys, hands down. They are the last fast food chain not to just copy Popeyes.

   I will also make the controversial take that nee 2019 Burger King had an amazing spicy chicken sandwich that was super underrated.

8. Chick-Fil-A for both. Best for the taste and quality. Worst for the organization’s right-wing, homophobic political support.

9. Best – Chick-fil-A. The chicken quality is always on point, bun to toppings to chicken ratio seems appropriate, good quality control.

   Worst – Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s. Always squished, simultaneously dry and greasy, boring, tastes like it’s going to give you the runs right after.

10. Wendy’s!

11. Local chain: Biscuitville. Sorry y’all, central NC is keeping this to ourselves. I’ve never seen one that wasn’t busy but they seem loathe to expand. They just recently put one in at the beach and my cousins there went insane.

12. Popeyes has the best.

    I cant really say for the worst, haven’t had a bad one.

13. Bojangles has the best, so long as it’s on a biscuit.

14. Hardee’s isn’t good

15. Wendy’s is the best. McDonald’s is the worst

16. Popeyes has the best hands down

17. I like Culvers spicy chicken the best – it’s got actual heat to it whereas most of the others don’t really register as spicy to me. Wendy’s would be second. All the rest I just find to be ok.

18. Best = Chick-fil-A

    Worst = Burger King

19. Wendy’s Hot Honey Chicken Sandwhich is far above the rest and winner of the Great Chicken Sandwhich War. My wife states its the McDonalds Spicy Chicken sandwhich, not the McChicken version. The worst has got to be Popeyes. The first time I ever tried their Chicken Sandwhich I thought I had Covid it was so bland.

20. Wendy’s #6 has been my go to for 15 years. And don’t fuck it up by getting one of the fancy new wave Asiago or whatever gourmet bullshit version they try to ruin it with.

21. Honestly, most of them are really good. Bojangles, Popeyes, Wendys, McDs, CFA, and Culvers all go hard. If I was forced to choose I’d probably go Popeyes because I can get red beans on the side and the lady working there is going to say things like “What can I get you today baby?” and I might see a fight in the parking lot.

22. Wendy’s and Chick-fil-A make a good spicy chicken sandwich. McDonald’s? It’s just spicy fucking sauce

23. Assuming it’s made well Popeye’s has the best. But every Popeye’s I’ve ever been to is a complete crap shoot rather you get something awesome or horrible every time.

    This is going to be unpopular, but I’m going to say Chick-Fil-A has the worst. It’s just chicken, on a bun with a pickle. It’s too plain, too boring and you have to wait in a million mile long line to get it because everyone in their mother loves Chick-Fil-A for some reason.

24. Popeye’s as best, although Wendy’s is tasty.

    McDonald’s isn’t bad, it’s just really average.

25. Sandwich? Y’all need to just go to Bojangles and get a spicy chicken *biscuit*.

26. You’re gonna get someone killed dude
