![]() ![]() Sum the 9 ratings from the first day and the next-day score to get a total out of 50.Save the second sandwich until the next day.Rate the sandwich out of 5 on each of the following criteria: (i) taste, (ii) temperature, (iii) crispiness, (iv) chicken to batter ratio, (v) chicken texture, (vi) sauce (vii) toppings (viii) bun, (ix) chicken to bun ratio. Pull into the nearest parking spot and each take a bite or two from one of the sandwiches.At each restaurant's drive through, get two standard chicken sandwiches, a small fries, and a small order of nuggets/tenders.Visit all restaurants on the same afternoon.So, who makes the best sandwich? To answer this question as objectively as possible, and inspired by this article, my daughter and I formulated the following research protocol: Source: USDA ERS and R Code linked at end of article Americans now eat more chicken than beef and pork combined. Beef and pork consumption declined over the same period. We did not agree on the best sandwich, but we did agree on the worst.Ĭhicken consumption in the US has tripled in the last 60 years from 30 pounds per person per year in 1960 to over 90 pounds now. ![]() We are not the first to run this experiment, but it was fun and we learned things. We evaluated Popeyes, Wendy's, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, and KFC. Last weekend, my daughter and I embarked on a mission to discover which chain makes the best chicken sandwich. ![]() McDonald's and KFC unveiled new chicken sandwiches last month in an attempt to keep up. Then, in 2019 Popeyes launched a new chicken sandwich that almost immediately sold out, sparking a sharp response from Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A tripled its sales between 20 becoming the nation's third largest restaurant chain behind McDonald's and Starbucks. Americans are eating more chicken than ever before, so it comes as no surprise that fast food chains now compete over chicken rather than burgers.
