But the main competition seems to be between Popeyes and Chick-fil-A.

Although Chick-fil-A has been famous for its chicken sandwich for decades, Popeyes’ version of the dish has threatened to take the top spot.
This Popeyes chicken sandwich is worth the hype!!!!

Others said the entree was sold out or revealed the lines were long at their local Popeyes thanks to hashtags like #ChickenSandwichTwitter or #ChickenSandwichWar.
You all need to hype things in silence next time!! #Popeyes needs to be able to run the line the way Chick-fil-A does. pic.twitter.com/YhynEwwfJV

A few said making the switch to Popeyes was easy because of Chick-fil-A's stance on gay marriage. The brand's CEO, Dan Cathy, said in 2012 Chick-fil-A believed marriage to be between a man and a woman, citing the family's Christian beliefs.
They put Chick-Fil-A down with this one.

Reminder: Popeyes doesn’t support Trump’s re-election & they open on Sundays 🙂 https://t.co/E6QY7mOygX
Popeyes @PopeyesChicken chicken apparently got a better chicken sandwich than @ChickfilA and they don’t support anti-LGBTQ orgs or Trump? pic.twitter.com/gmSOJwuUO7

But many remained loyal to Chick-fil-A and said the chain was the reigning champ of the chicken sandwich.
#ChickenSandwichTwitter Stop debating already. ChickFilA made the original and BEST sandwich. Popeye's taste like deep fried butter AND ChickFilA has much better employees. End of discussion, let's close this out.

Can we just settle this great chicken sandwich debate. Thoughts?

Sorry Popeyes but it's Chick-fil-A all day. pic.twitter.com/k4TFe9u9NJ
Unpopular opinion: Popeyes chicken sandwich is good but not better than chick fil a’s and the only reason it’s getting hella attention right now is literally because it’s a trend on Twitter. The hype will definitely be dead within the next few days
