Georgia: Here Is Our Favorite Chicken Sandwich
In the world of fast food, one particular menu item seems to have taken society by storm. According to a new report by Coupon Birds, the most popular chicken sandwich in Georgia should come as no surprise. The question is whether or not you agree. Start by answering this simple question: Which fast food chain makes your favorite chicken sandwich?
As you would expect, the biggest players in this game were the winners across the country. That means we are talking about Chick-Fil-A, Wendy’s, Popeyes, KFC, and Jack in the Box.
“When it comes to loyalty to their favorite chicken sandwich brands, 60% of Americans say they have a favorite, but are open to trying other brands occasionally,” Coupon Birds explains. They also point out an important factor to today’s love of this handheld favorite. Social media influence does play a part in the ability to showcase so many personal opinions and experiences trying these fast food favorites. This is especially influential for fast food establishments that are expanding and starting to launch in states for the first time. Such chains include Raising Cane’s and Dave’s Hot Chicken.
Perhaps next year, we will see those names appear more on the winner’s list for certain states. In Georgia, we tend to agree with over half the country.
The Most Popular Chicken Sandwich In Georgia Comes From Chick-Fil-A
Thirty other states had the exact same choice. “Even though they are open one day less a week than their competitors, it seems they don’t need to worry about profit and pleasing their customers,” Coupon Birds said. In fact, every state south of New Jersey along the Atlantic Coast also has Chick-Fil-A as their choice.
Other interesting facts from this report include 71% of Americans selecting fries as their favorite side to pair with the sandwich. While mac and cheese, coleslaw, and onion rings made an honorable mention, fries were the clear winner by a landslide across the board.
43% of those surveyed say they eat their favorite chicken sandwich monthly. Spicy and classic were then the preferred style.
The good news for Chick-Fil-A lovers in the Peach State is that the company has over 259 locations here in its home state, where it all began.
So, What makes the Chick-Fil-A sandwich so good? Admittedly, it would have been my choice as well. My answer to the question is simple. It’s consistently good. The flavor of their chicken sandwich is similar to that of their nuggets and chicken strips. It’s breaded lightly where the fried component does not take over the experience. Meaning, the chicken taste is the actual star of the show. Furthermore, you don’t have that uncomfortable feeling of just having inhaled too much fried food after eating it.
While I will go for the spicy edition of the Chick-Fil-A sandwich on occasion, my preference is the classic with just lettuce. This further proves how the taste of the chicken alone contributes to it being the most popular of the bunch in Georgia.
