Evidence-Based
Discover the 6 biggest chain restaurant crispy chicken sandwiches to satisfy your cravings.

Chicken sandwiches are a classic meal option. There is something so perfect about the simplicity of a seasoned, breaded breast of chicken topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, a slather of mayo or a special sauce, and pickles, sandwiched between two buns. It just hits the right notes. If you are hungrier than usual, there are a handful of chains where you can enjoy a bigger, more filling version of a fried chicken sandwich. Here are 5 chain restaurants with the biggest crispy chicken sandwiches.

Jollibee Deluxe Chicken Sandwich

Jollibee

The Jollibee Deluxe Chicken Sandwich features a large, crispy, juicy hand-breaded chicken breast fillet, spread with umami mayo, topped with fresh-sliced tomato and crisp lettuce, and served on a toasted brioche bun. “I just tried Jollibee since they opened a site in Philadelphia. Chicken was tender and juicy. Not oversalted, some say it is bland but I enjoyed it and came with a side of gravy. Also the peach mango pie is excellent,” one writes. “It’s fantastic. No joke. I’m very glad I don’t live near one. I would gain enough weight be able to eat at Heart Attack Grill for free,” writes another.

Popeyes Classic Chicken Sandwich

Popeyes

Popeyes’ Classic Chicken Sandwich and Spicy Chicken Sandwich are undeniable classics, but make sure to get it right out of the fryer. “When it’s fresh, it’s better than Chick-fil-A,” one Redditor said. “I like the Popeyes sandwich better when they nail it,” another adds. “When it’s made properly and fresh it blows every other chicken sandwich away,” a third agrees.

Bojangles Bo’s Chicken Sandwich

Culver’s chicken sandwiches, made with premium chicken breast, are one of the more underrated items on the menu. “Culver’s is up there,” one person commented.

Then, it comes inside a toasted Kaiser bun with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Our reviewer attests that it delivers “a nice crisp” and also “juiciness.”
