KFC vs. Popeye vs. Tim Horton's Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Nov 27, 2020

KFC had a Black Friday 50% off their sandwiches promotion with code KFC50
Zinger, Big Crunch Spicy and Original Big Crunch (we got all three of them to try)

Zinger and Original Big Crunch
The Zinger was the spicier than the Big Crunch Spicy and it was also surprisingly crispier too. 
The Big Crunch spicy was a little spicy, but the spicy mayo wasn't that spicy and the spiciness did lightly linger for a bit. 
The Original Big Crunch had a lot of chicken that paired with a nice lighter mayo. 
Not sure if the chicken sandwiches usually just come with mayo, chicken and lettuce, but that's all we got with the sandwiches.

Popeye Louisiana Kitchen @ 1448 Lawrence Ave E

$5.99 Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich

I think it's better than KFC's spicy chicken sandwich since the chicken was crispier, crunchier and had a huge piece of juicy well-seasoned white chicken breast meat and it was paired with a really good spicy mayo (which got spicier as you kept eating) and pickles. The bun was also really soft which was nice. 

Tim Horton's @ 1244 Lawrence Ave E

$3.99 Crispy Chicken Sandwich

The crispy chicken sandwich was on a focaccia bun and I asked for spicy mayo, but it didn't have the right kick to it. The chicken was okay, but it was more breaded than fried. The price point was great, but it wasn't a memorable or great chicken sandwich. 

September 16, 2020 - KFC @ Leaside

KFC was running a $2 Famous Chicken Sandwich promotion! I placed my order online and went to pick up in store. However, online orders for the $2 sandwich promo had to have a minimum of $10 (and it was only one per order). So I ordered a $10 meal for 2 with 4 pieces of chicken, 2 chicken popcorns, 2 fries and a large gravy (also a really good deal). There was a bit of a lineup even for pickup orders (and the phone didn't go through), so I stood in line and ordered another sandwich (since I was there anyways)

The Famous chicken sandwich was pretty good with a huge chunk of white chicken breast meat and a nice garlic mayo. The spicy version was better with a spicy mayo and pickles. There was a lot of crispy breading in the sandwich

$10 meal for 2
The best part of this meal deal was the large gravy - I love their chicken gravy! It goes so well with everything and it's so tasty - I slathered my popcorn chicken and fries in the gravy. The chicken was good, but I still prefer Popeye's (since it has more spice).
