    There is a big difference between a scone and an American biscuit. Scones are made with heavy cream, whereas biscuits are made with buttermilk. Scones have sugar where biscuits do not. Scones are made more like a pastry where biscuits are more dense and buttery. While thinks may look alike, the ingredients and the process of how it's put together make all the difference in the world. I was a chef in the US military and have been cooking for over 50 years.

      I think your explanation of scone versus biscuit is over simplistic and not accurate. I've seen scones that are not made with cream and I definitely make my own biscuits without buttermilk. Buttermilk is not the usual ingredient it's a usual ingredient but before buttermilk milk is the most popular ingredient in a biscuit. A biscuit and a scone if not the same thing are related. There's very subtle differences between the two it's mostly comes down to treatment. A biscuit is is like a lighter version of a scone. Same ingredients same flavor profiles, but just some variations here and there. There is no one biscuit recipe either. Some biscuits are made with butter some biscuits are made with shortening some are made with oil. In fact my favorite biscuit that I make is made with cream and oil. Uses no butter at all no buttermilk.

    I can't overstress the importance of the pickle. It adds an extra dimension to the flavor of the chicken sandwich. As for the mashed potatoes, you should get that at a non-fast food place. Our university has some good mashed potatoes but they hand-make it in their kitchen.

    I'm not a fan of dipping in the mash, either. It's fun watching you guys try all these chains, but you definitely need to get into the smaller om and pop spots that really do the best food. Not sure which area you are in, but each region of the US will have its own specialties.

In my opinion it's okay. but if you ask for the Cajun sparkles seasoning pack and put one in sprinkle one pack in your mashed potatoes and gravy and one pack in your red beans and rice it's a game changer. Please try it it surprised me. You can also sprinkle it on your chicken so good

    Bang on with how restaurants get their fried chicken so juicy---a lot of places brine it. I used to work at a Carolina style fried chicken place, and we brined our chicken overnight in a combination of salt, water, and apple cider vinegar. Made it really juicy when it was cooked, and added some good flavor.

    I love Popeyes chicken but I usually get the shrimp box that comes with a biscuit or 2 & I open the biscuits & make shrimp biscuits with it so good. I don't ever dunk my chicken in my mashed potatoes but I will sometimes dip it in just some gravy, no mash. Their chicken sandwich is really good & Chick-fil-A marinates their chicken in pickle juice which makes it tender & juicy. My brother n law worked for Chick-fil-A all though high school & college. So I'm sure Popeyes probably marinates theirs too. They have a good breakfast also like most of our fast foods. Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell & Hardee's( Biscuits N Gravy with gravy on the side with hash rounds that sit in the gravy is really good or try one of each kind of biscuit) has really good breakfasts.
    Popeyes side dishes aren't very good, the red beans & rice is OK. Popeyes food has a little heat to it because it's a Cajun( New Orleans Louisiana)fast food restaurant.
    They have good sweet tea which u should try half sweet tea half lemonade called an Arnold Palmer which is good that cuts the sweet tea that's really sweet. I like sweet tea with a lemon wedge added to it.

    At Popeyes, the spicy chicken sandwich is still the best thing on their menu. Highly recommend the next time you go. Most of their sides are nothing special, but the fries and biscuits are good enough that you don't really need anything else. Their mac & cheese is hella greasy (you'll see the cheese oil once you get to the bottom of the container), the potatoes are just okay even when they are mashed properly, and the red beans & rice are pretty bland (in my opinion).
    Also, in America, the term "burger" refers to any sandwich that uses minced meat. Since Popeyes uses actual pieces of chicken instead of griding it up into a flat patty, it's called a chicken sandwich and not a chicken burger. I think people in the UK and Australia get it confused and think it's called a burger based on the bun, but that's not the case at all.

    I do think the spicy used to be spicier.
