The baffling hype around Popeyes chicken sandwich – I just don't how it's better than a three-piece and biscuit? – has been spiked since late August, when it officially sold out. Up until that point, fans of the breaded and bread-wrapped chicken meal had been lining up in droves to get a taste of sweet Louisiana Kitchen bliss.
Why the excitement, you ask? Well, Popeyes released a chicken sandwich for the first time in its history back in August. It might come as a shock that the best fried chicken joint in the fast food never even tried to compete with all the lesser chicken sandwiches out there, but here we are.

For real, though: people are ridiculouslyexcited. For the chicken sandwich. (People! Get a two-piece! Or a three-piece! The biscuit alone is worth it! And you won't fill up on all that extra bread!! Also: get dirty rice on the side. Thank me later.)
