- The launch of Popeyes’ chicken sandwich in the summer of 2019 was an inflection point for the fast-food company. After a lighthearted Twitter feud with rival chicken chains, Popeyes’ chicken sandwich became an overnight success and kicked-off what industry analysts call the “chicken sandwich wars”. But can a simple chicken sandwich save a company that once filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection?

How Popeyes’ Chicken Sandwich Changed Fast Food
I would never wait in line for a chicken sandwich. But that being said, I finally tried the spicy chicken sandwich and it was pretty damn good.
Agreed. I would never consider Popeyes an option before I was made to try the spicy chicken sandwich. It's a decent size too. But it's still just chicken in a bun and I don't go there but once or twice a month, max.
@@xdsxds487 hhhhhv
Why I am I even watching this video. My country does not even have Popeyes. But I still watched of course!
I live in the USA....and my State does not have a Popeyes.
Wyoming.
Germany based on you Lufthansa like logo.
Dangic23 yo wyoming whats that
@unjourtuvis unjourtumeurs kinda close, Montana is on top of Wyoming and then Montana borders canada
@@itshisfault3782
A State in the USA that should not exist.
People were getting stabbed while waiting in line for a sandwich that's how it changed fast food forever.
I'll pass. I go there and they don't have this or that. No thank you
BAHAHAHAHAHHA💀
Stabbing someone for a freaking sandwich.......what has this world come to
I am thinking about a new type of restaurants: eating-spots
in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate
this is opposed to current restaurants,
thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are more powerful than restaurants,
along with that, there is an app,
people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days,
menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app.
@@Zo-hc2fn That concept sort of exists right now, or used to before COVID,, they are called Pop-up restaurants. You used to get surprise texts or tweets to spots of them opening up for 24 hours by some celebrity chef or food school, then they would change their menu and locations. You may get Italian one day, then French, then Asian, then New American, and then Lebanese. It was fun for foodies
Pizza is meant to be shared? I guess you learn something every day.

Yeah unless you plan on eating all 8 slices by yourself

chick-fil-a sucks anyway
Chick-fil-A Does better business in 6 days than Popeyes in 7
Omg 😀
I’m shocked a single Popeyes could fill 3500 sandwich orders, mine takes a half hour to get food.
It must have been a remote location in the country. In any major city, there are way too many other options better than Popeyes.
@@DIVISIONINCISION A remote location where 3500 people came to order a chicken sandwich?
Don’t mean 3500 people came I have seen 1 person alone but 10… so that’s really all it takes is for someone to buy more then 1 especially if they are feeding a big family
@@deebrown5549that’s so ridiculous, you sound like a child 😂

_"How chickens are revolting against the chicken-sandwich war"_
That's funny and true seriously I can't wait to go to the movies again.
i'm dyign lmao
Rise and fall of chickens.
Chickens need a union, ?
Then they will get outsourced chickens from China
I thought it was named after Popeye the sailor man.
A lot people have thought so in the past.
Pope yes
*Me too*
Same here
Tho they used to have Popeyes characters on their restaurants up until a few years ago
It's delicious and hands down the best fast food chicken sandwich. Each time I've had it's been perfectly crispy but never dry. And topped with their sweet heat and blackened ranch it can't be beat.
Popeyes chicken sandwich is perfect and always consistent and being from NYC much more accessible. I crave it at least once a week and it doesn’t feel like typical “fast food” to me. Really proud of them. I went to New Orleans last November and had to try Popeyes cause I’m corny like that lol. KFC is very popular overseas especially Asia that’s why it’s still #1. Chic-fil-A is way to expensive for my liking but they’re customer service is impressive. Solid video.
Proud
Why is the narrator talking like he has to catch a train in a few minutes?
Hahaha true
To all veterans of the chicken sandwich wars:
Thank you for your service.
I can’t speak for KFC in the US but in Canada its greasy, tasteless garbage. The few Popeyes we have in my city are always busy
Facts
Chick-fil-A Is lines are longer and faster service than Popeyes

As European, I can not understand why Americans eat this stuff so much. Sometimes, fastfood is okay, but for the average day, I could not imagine to eat this. Life is too short to do without all the high quality organic delicacies of this world.
@@NeinDochOhh
I'm not even quite interested in Food altogether tbh 😀 lol
Popeyes>KFC. I used to work at KFC, and I love the chicken, but Popeyes is even better. And no it's not because I'm sick of KFC chicken. I still love it.
HOW DARE YOU EAT CHICKEN 😡
Man I ate that sandwich everyday straight for over a month. It was by far the most amazing chicken sandwich ive ever tasted. I got sick of it though eventually
down bad 😂
Eating any dish everyday straight for over a month would make you sick of it 😂

@@maenad1231 Disagree. I've had a peanut butter and banana sandwich for breakfast everyday for the last 27 years. I still look forward to it every morning lol. I guess im a creature of habit

I just a $4 chicken sandwich and people out here literally fighting eachother!!
Every time when I ordered chicken sandwich from Popeyes I just order ahead on mobile apps and there is no fight in my area
Demolition Man predicted the future. There will be franchise wars. Hard to say if Taco Bell will be the ultimate winner.
And ppl have even been shot at the height of the craziness and if i am not mistaken someone died 🤔
CNBC forgot to add the following, "U.S. poultry company Pilgrim's Pride Corp said on Wednesday it has agreed to pay a fine of more than $110 million following a Justice Department probe into alleged price-fixing in the sale of broiler chicken products in the United States."
How did they price fix? Isn’t their product they can charge whatever they want
KFC is too oily, while Popeye is just right.
If you think KFC is too oily, you should see Church’s.
@@Grovel007 bro back in the days churches chicken was cheaper than Popeye's and KFC but now it's right up there with them they have a chicken sandwich also is not bad !
popeyes is all breading that tastes like old frying oil 🥴

I'm eating Popeyes chicken while watching this ❤🍖
Chick Fil-A: 6 Days A Week #1 Chicken Restaurant and #3 out of all Fast Food Restaurants.
These other chicken joints aren't even at the same level working 7 days a week.
I guess it also depends where you live because Popeye's and Church's where I live are poor quality or poor service or both whereas Chick Fil-A will have a line around the block and you're still out in less than 5 minutes and they treat you right.
It is almost miraculous.
About once a week I drive 15 miles to my closest Popeye's in Akron, OH and wait about 20-30 minutes in the drive-thru line for a spicy chicken sandwich. They are heavenly. There are two Chick-fil-A's in town but I found their sandwiches completely uninspiring (not bad but not worth a 15 mile drive). I go to the KFC here about once every two months. They raised the price of their $5 fill-ups to $5.50.
5:00 This man does not blink
CNBC, great video! Enjoy your Sunday!💯🙏👐
well, guess I’ll have to drive to the fast food chain in my local neighbourhood now after watching the video... Sunday well spent lol
Haven't been to KFC since they eliminated the potato wedges!
@lotarus wing triggered by wedges much?
For me, Chik Fil A is basically the same as Popeye's Spicy sandwich. What makes Popeye's better is they're not sacrificing business and respecting other people's wishes to not take Sundays off for religion. I still eat at both with whoever is most conveniently closer but usually, that ends up with Popeyes still getting most of my money so they win in my opinion.
The quality of these CNBC videos are immaculate.
When Popeye's Chicken Sandwich first came out it was unbelievable delicious. Then it was discontinued for a little while. When it came back it was not the same.
krplus.net/bidio/krmpmmCieKy6h4Y
They probably cant get the same ingredients cuz of the chain supply issues due to covid. Hopefully all that will change once things get back to normal
As a chef, the Popeye's sandwich destroys Chick-fil-A. Furthermore, Chick-fil-A still tortures their birds and raises them in sub-standards coups. They are unable to provide you with a list of their farms/suppliers if you ask them. Don't even get me started on their horrible customer service...
Not to mention their donations to anti LGBTQ organisations 🤷 truly an evil chain
The reason popeyes ran of of filets is related to your post.
Popeyes doesn't get the sandwich meat from the same place they get their other chicken
The filet is outsourced from a specific vendor to ensure they are all the same.
There was more talk about other chicken restaurant chains towards the end of the video. I thought they were going to bring up the Popeye's fights, arrests, and calls to 911 when locations ran out of chicken sandwiches. Then I saw the next suggested video from CNBC, "The Chicken Sandwich Wars". Well what the heck did I just watch???
Popeyes gave us some really good worldstar fight videos!
Sad but true
5:53 wait, wait... what did he just say. Did I hear that correctly! 😆
If I want a chicken sandwich I’m going to Chik Fil A because the customer service is so much better. You go to Popeyes or KFC and they act like you’re bothering them when you order and lord knows your order won’t be right
Not only that, but the actual quality of the chicken sandwich itself at Chick-Fil-A is probably the best I've ever had. KFC and Popeyes doesn't even compare.
@@christopherregan1654 lmao chik fila got the plainest sandwich ever
There’s a Popeyes down the block but it’s always busy. I’m always craving a chicken sammich 😭
The chicken sandwich they launched in Canada is definitely not the one the have in the US. It didn’t live up to the hype.
It was gross. Very disappointing. I never eat Popeyes and probably won’t return.
Really? Do they not use the same ingredients?
so canadians also role with US hype? i thought canadians hated Americans, someone did a survey twice and you could tell canadian citizen are so jealous it written all over there face when they say "America is garbage" or " We are better than them" but yet almost everthing in canada has American influence in it because i cant remeber seeing any canadian company like one just one in the US it doesn't exist
@@starboysuniverse9956 I'm Canadian and I love Americans and America. The Popeyes in Canada is great too!
@@averypenner sorry i feel bad about that comment i was really angry when i saw how Canadians actually think about us, but i guess i forgot every one was different, we love canadians too but over the years we realize we weren't getting the same vibe we were giving canadians i mean watch this video:krplus.net/bidio/gJGtZZ9kmq3Ihpg
2019 wasn't the first time popeyes had a chicken sandwich. They had the sandwich back in the early 2000's if not before then.
Yep, but I'm betting it was only available at select locations. I enjoyed that one more I think. One location even offered to make the fillet spicy for me. Why couldn't they do that with the spicy version of the current sandwich is beyond me.
@@Zenocide I'm sure they did.
Also they use to have a catfish sandwich as well. But it seems like no one remembers that either.
Nope. It was soft launched in August 2018.
@@plawson8577 We're talking the one that had lettuce and tomato on it.
So glad Popeye's is back here in the Philippines after closing in the early 2000's.
Man, the video made me hungry.
Where I live nearest Popeye is very far. So, when I visit client, I decline lunch at fancy place and enjoy chicken sandwich at Popeyes with them. Love their chicken sandwich.
I am a real estate developer in New Mexico. I can personally attest to the growth for this chain. They are looking for sites for 30 new stores in Albuquerque alone. We have two in negotiation.
YAAAASSS!!!! POPEYES COME TO MOMMA😏
Social media is a powerful marketing tool. the sandwich is a good product for sure but i think the restaurants struggle to cope with the demand as compared to Chick Fil A which is a machine.
whats the background music, love the guitar and drums.
In my opinion and I love chicken sandwiches, its just a chicken sandwhich with a spicy fish batter a lighter crunch.
As a fried chicken enthusiast when I first had it in 2019 I immediately knew it was going to be a hit, it was the best fast food chicken sandwich I had in US. However, KFC in China had offered chicken sandwiches more than 20 years ago that tasted very similar to the Popeye's one if not better. Fast food might have started in the US but i guess the industry is too busy branching out and innovating elsewhere.....
KFC in China didn't invent the chicken sandwich. Chick-fil-A has sold chicken sandwiches in the US since 1946. All these fast food places that have started selling chicken sandwiches are doing so because of the massive success of Chick-fil-A.
wow man. all the soulless corporate executives feeding us PR approved talking points makes me sick.
Please do more of these videos about the middle eastern market
A value proposition for the whole family!
Basically Popeyes had good marketing, people always want what's popular or hard to get
Even without the chicken sandwich, I would always prefer Popeye's over Chick-fil-a.
Nothing against chick-fil-a, just my personal preference.
i am from europe and did not even know a restaurant chain called "popeyes'" existed
I thought it was from Popeye the sailor man.
Fun fact, King Features (comic syndicator to newspapers that owns Popeye the Sailor) almost sued the pants off of the restaurant brand in the 90s for infringement.
@@lovelyheiferdev In 1991.
Bruh when I first had that Popeyes chicken sandwich, O MY GAHD! That was ultimate fire 🔥
Their same-store sales grew 25% in a quarter...during the middle of a pandemic. That's what quality gets you. More businesses need to take notes.
Popeyes chicken sandwich is amazing
I feel bad for anyone who hasn’t tried it yet
Living I germany... We only got kfc
@@mokubakaiba1751 it’s also very convenient
@@zacharyfletcher4253 nah bro I used to
Think chic fil a was better but then I compared and found that chic fil a was too moist and not as flavorful as Popeyes
Don’t feel bad. I’m vegan and you should be too.
@@zacharyfletcher4253 that's a personal preference I dont want lettuce and tomatoes on my chicken sandwich I mean I have chic fil a of course and it's good but the simple chicken sandwich at popeyes has so much flavor with out all the extra food its perfect...its all personal preference
Church's where I am in Canada (Alberta an dBC) uses grade 2 roasting chicken, often showing bruising. Unlike the old KFC which uses top grade frying chicken. Popeye's has shown up recently but is not mainstream just yet. Had it in LA near a building supply. Not bad. Got to try the sandwich though!!
My mom got us sandwiches and she said “This is not cooked!”
African mom.
lol
I don’t care how good their chicken or their sandwich is. Their service is always the WORST, I literally feel so unwelcome and unwanted from the moment I step into the door of a Popeye’s by its employees. I really can’t think of another chain with more consistently terrible service at every location.
Hahaha, 'unwelcome and unwanted from the moment I step into the door' 😂😂. I'm not even from the US but all I ever hear about popeye, be it from shows or movies or socials is just that, that their service is trash
Every Popeye's I go to has great service. Not sure why you're having bad service at Popeye's
Get your chicken and go! I love that service
The last time I saw a Popeyes restaurant was in 2019. I walked past Popeyes and the line was out the door. I went to another store and got pizza and didn't have to wait
5:00 - he did not blink even once 👁👄👁
Popeyes chicken sandwhich
*weeps*
AAAAHHH
Listen....ain't no chicken sandwich better than a Hot fresh spicy chicken asiago ranch wendy's sandwich. 🤷🏿♂️
This. Wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches are very underrated.
Popeyes is here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I like the menu and I enjoy their food...👌
I tried it recently. I don't get the hype around it. It was ok.
Agreed. Overly greasy mess of a sandwich. Everything was just wet with grease and condensation. And only two pickles? What the heck!
Disappointing? I feel like this could be said of any fast food anywhere. Remove the appeal of the low price (at the expense of your health costs), fast food isn't good. Support local better restaurants instead.
@@MRTOWELRACK I could argue that eating any restaurant, outside, isn't good. If you want to be even MORE healthy, as well as save even more money, cook from home. And, if you can grow your own fruits and/or vegetables, more power to you.
but
Chick-fil-A has the best chicken sandwich
Shhh I enjoy the shorter lines at Chik, let them be.
We had poppy’s chicken sandwich for years here in the UAE.
Best place in the world
How does the supply chain in a restaurant like Popeyes Louisiana kitchen ( Popeyes Philippines) contribute to the relative advantage over the similar restaurant?
Sage is what makes stuffing and Thanksgiving good.
I suggest cornmeal in the batter as well. Sweethot cornmeal muffin with that.
I got a chicken strip as my sandwich, sus
I ate popoye chicken, about 10 times every month during the stay at home
Bruh
I run 12 miles every other day. I am the same weight.
I feel slightly jealous
Im so sad Popeye's is no longer available in my country, at least i never seen any of them anymore. I really miss their curly fries and calamaris.
Amazing how you guys up pouring so much credit on Popeyes for the chicken sandwich when Chick-fil-A really started it
Where were you when the chicken sandwich war started?
Well thanks a lot guys now i’ll have to go get myself a chicken sandwich
Boondocks predicted this
The one I work at like half the sales are the sandwiches lol
Restaurant business is the most unpredictable and grow on mostly marketing/hype. End of the it’s a fried chicken in a bun 😎
I didn’t know KFC still sold chicken... 😏
well it's suppose to be chicken.
@@tontshavers630 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏽
I stopped eat Popeye's and I use to love it. I liked the chicken thighs, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and gravy. Last two times I they put these tiny little thighs in the box that seemed over cooked. The potatoes didn't come with a container of gravy. They dumped a spoon of gravy on top of the family sized container of mashed potatoes and I had to check my location on my phone to make certain I was still in America and not Canada. That biscuit was a hockey puck.
Got a bucket of chicken from KFC and I think they soaked it in grease from an old deep fryer. I went to crush the bucket before placing in the trash and had to let the crease run out first.
I don't know why, but I was waiting for this episode.
Now brb, I'm going to Popeye's.
I live in Dubai and I love their spicy cajun burger, tastes good and v filling compared to kfc and McDonald's. Only downside is that it is a bit too salty.
Anyone remember the Boondock episode on the Fried Chicken Pandemic.
No
As a Popeyes chicken sandwich I can confirm this is true
I would really like to try it but sadly there is no Popeye in Germany
Ask the company and a local distributor to open one in your country! 😎
Chicken chain. I love that.
Wow. That was the longest commercial I've ever watched.
Popeyes is an experience. You're gonna wait 30 minutes in mine no matter what. 3 cars or 30... you're gonna wait half an hour.
You ordered a 5 tender piece with mashed potatoes and a biscuit? Well it's a 50/50 shot one will be missing. Don't think about asking for it back. They'll throw shade and say "what you didn't get enough with the 5 tenders?"
It's all worth it though. Them pickles hit different idk.
Alright, so this voice actor doesn't know much about food... that pronunciation of brioche was hilarious
❤❤
So Canada launched the Popeyes sandwich over here and....It's not that great....
You're right. I'd rather have a spicy chicken from Wendy's or a habanero spicy chicken from A&W.
Yes it is really oily and disgusting
wdm
I tried it and it was delicious
this is about a year late.
I always thought it was named after Popeye the sailer man 🤣

@@davidleung1785 ew a comment bot
Holy poultry Batman...that chicken sandwich is the best thing I have eaten in a long time. And the piped in cajun music had my feet tapping and my head bopping.
In Australia, that is NOT a chicken sandwich. It is a chicken burger. A sandwich is any kind of filling between two slices of loaf bread, a burger is hot cooked beef or chicken patty, and usually salad, between what we call a hamburger bun, and a roll is cold meat, like ham with salad between a hamburger bun.
If you put a piece of freshly cooked steak in between two slices of bread, it is still a sandwich.
I would like someone to please tell me what the USA classes as a burger.
Also, what are biscuits?
The Canadian sandwich tastes like oil :(
Yes! Totally.
Exactly! The Popeyes chicken sandwich here in Canada is gross!
America: Oil, you say?
tbh i didn't really like the pickles
