3. KFC
KFC is a fast-food restaurant known for its fried chicken, so we were excited to sample their Classic Chicken Sandwich. For $4.99, a pleasantly juicy and well-seasoned chicken patty was served on a toasted bun with mayonnaise and pickles. Aside from the classic option, KFC also offers a spicy version.
The chicken was hearty and crisp, and the sandwich was well-balanced. It was definitely an enjoyable sandwich that we would gladly order again.
Bottom Line: KFC is a solid player in the fast-food chicken sandwich game, but it’s not a champ yet. While this sandwich certainly satisfied, there were still a couple sandwiches that were even better!

2. Chick-fil-A
While we tested and ranked a total of eight chicken sandwiches, the truth is the fast-food chicken sandwich race really just comes down to our top two contenders. These two are truly head and shoulders above the rest. In fact, it was very difficult to decide which sandwich should take the No. 2 and No. 1 slots. Coming in at the runner-up position for the best fast-food chicken sandwich is the Chick-fil-A Original Chicken Sandwich. It’s sold at $4.75 with pickles and without mayonnaise, served on a perfectly buttered and toasted bun. However, for those who crave a sauce addition, Chick-fil-A offers a bunch of options.
We decided of all the sandwiches sampled, Chick-fil-A’s won out with chicken that was moist and flavorful as well as perfectly seasoned. The sandwich had a great crunch while the toasted and buttered bun kept the sandwich moist and satisfying. In addition to the original chicken sandwich we sampled, Chick-fil-A also sells a deluxe chicken sandwich, spicy chicken, spicy deluxe, grilled chicken, and grilled chicken club.
Bottom Line: In the end, the best fast-food chicken sandwich comes down to a matter of preference. For us, there was one sandwich with a slight edge to make it to the #1 spot. Keep reading to find out.
