@@Jaxrayh Yeah I agree. I used to kind of like their chicken tenders until I got sick once shortly after eating them and now I don’t. But even when I did like them, I didn’t think they were anything special. Much better off ordering something else there

This video made me immediately order a Popeye's chicken sandwich for the first time. Will let you know if it tastes as good as Charlie and Matt make it seem EDIT: 11/10. Absolutely delicious. Love the sauce in it. The breading is flaky, but not too crunchy, the chicken is moist, and nice and thick. Found my new favorite chicken sandwich!
I want to try it so bad, and there's a Popeyes like 10 minutes from me, but the customer service is so shit it's unbearable. I was in a line with 5 cars for an hour before I drove away. And according to reviews, even if you do order, they always have you pull up, take another half an hour, and half the time you have to go back in and ask about it, and they'll tell you they "forgot" your order.
I love how Matt cuts the sandwiches. Puts the fork in it, completely ignores the fork, and holds the sandwich still with his bare hand while cutting with the other
@@sneaky3384 but normal mofos use the fork to hold it still then go in between the fork to cut. not use the fork then man handle the sandwich anyways, lol
As it should ... No clue what they do to make it so good, the bread is good, the breading on the chicken is amazing, crispy and moist (pun intended), even the pickles are good (which is my major critique of Chick-fil-A).
The Ch'King sandwich was actually different than BK's normal chicken sandwich. I don't know if BK still makes them, but the Ch'King had no business being as good as it was from Burger King, of all places. That was an easy A-tier chicken sandwich.
As someone who works at PDQ, this was not our best showing and I deeply apologize for the underperformance from a restaurant and a people dedicated to quality. I will do everything in my power to make sure every PDQ in Florida knows what happened here and ensure it never happens again
They did sell the Ch’King in the states in fact I ate it multiple times. Although I am a Popeyes fanatic and nobody can topple Popeyes, the Ch’King from Burger King not only came in close second but it also rivaled the size of the chicken breast from Popeyes and the sauce that was placed on both sandwiches
The Ch'King was genuinely so good that the company that owns BK discontinued it because they didn't want to take the spotlight from Popeyes (a brand they also own), and because they thought that because it's called "Burger" King, they didn't want to overshadow the burgers. One time I went to a BK and they said they were out of Ch'Kings, so they gave me the Original Chicken sandwich for free and it was probably the most disgusting chicken sandwich I've ever had. I'm surprised it wasn't F tier for them. I think I might've preferred nothing, it reminded me of gross high school chicken sandwiches.
@UCAwxTMc9dhsv_Kq60MTUQnw It’s not losing money if more people want to keep killing each other for their other money making brand lol. To be more specific, they wanted to just keep pushing the Whopper instead. Also this is BK we're talking about. If they made good decisions, they'd make cheesy tots a mainstay instead of randomly cutting them from their menu.
The Burger King Chiking DID exist, and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I ever had, although it still wasn’t as good as Popeyes. For some reason they stopped selling it
disagree but it was close imo i think the chking was the best ive ever ate for chicken sandwiches and ive had popeyes many times but id put popeyes at second but first now cuz the chking is gone sadly both are damn good tho and the best by far
Working at arby's i can safely say just depends where you go. I always make sure to have everything extra fresh, everything thoroughly cooked and extra stuff. If you have people who actually care their chicken is some of the best i've ever tasted
I feel vindicated. I absolutely rolled my eyes when the Popeyes sandwich hype started but when I finally had one I was like, guys why did you let me go this long without eating one of these? They are life changing.
When I first tried the chicken sandwich from Popeyes, the first thought that came to mind was "Damn, I see why people were killing eachother over this sandwich"
As a former Chick-fil-A employee, I could not eat the chicken sandwiches everyday, and till this day I refuse to ever eat them again. But holy shit, the Popeyes chicken sandwich’s are so damn good, I’ve ordered from there even when I was working at Chick-fil-A, a place I could get free sandwich’s from. But I still went for Popeyes, it’s just an amazing cheap sandwich
I don't know man but the chick fil a sandvich here in Colorado is the God of all sandwiches. Popeyes over here is.. It's from Satan. The chicken sandwiches from Popeyes here have more grease than chicken for gods sake.
As a current Chick-fil-A employee, our chicken sandwich does get tiring after a while. I've never tried Popeyes' chicken sandwich, so maybe I need to try that.
Chick fil A is easily more consistent with better presentation and the waffle fries are great. Popeyes is too inconsistent to truly get an S tier. It goes from C to S easily just from location alone. And the employees at Popeyes can be insane in the head
when i saw the servpro pen, i got nostalgia from the moments when my father took me to mcdonalds but he had to do something at a place, but everyone he knew was asleep or busy. He took a quick drive to the workplace and let one of the front desk workers watch me for a couple minutes.
Literally got up from my chair, walked to my car, and drove to Popeyes right after the Popeyes review. Watching the rest of this on the way to Popeyes right now. Update: truly a blessing. My lips have never been more graced than by the touch of a perfect Popeyes crunch and the flavor made me punch my steering wheel so hard the airbag deployed, shoving the rest of the perfect cuisine right into my desperately waiting chew-hole. Pulled around and bought another. 10/10. No but actually it’s pretty good.
my fav chicken sandwich is surprisingly where i work. Chilis crispy chicken sandwich, sub out crispy batter for original batter, add pickles. So in the end it’s a tempura like breading, sauce like chick-fil-a sauce, tomato, lettuce, pickles, on a brioche bun 🫶🫶🫶
chickfila is better and here's why. If u order the spicy like I always do Popeyes uses a spicy mayo and chickfila has it in the breading, I dont like mayo and popeys has no excuse because the spicy tenders have the spicy in the breading. If popeys had spicy breading it would be a close competetion for chickfila if popeys resturant ran like the chickfila in my area.
Charlie’s friend tries Burger King “that’s horrendous”, Charlie tries it and says it’s better than he thought and it wasn’t horrendous. 5 seconds later his friend says it is better than he thought
They probably didn’t have one close by, but honestly KFC has been getting worse over the years, I’ve had their sandwich twice from two different locations and it was borderline inedible
@@venogreedo6103 I agree with KFC getting worse and worse every year it is like they are not even trying I had both popeyes and KFC. KFC started giving me hearth pains because of how much grease it had while after eating popeyes i felt fine because they did not go crazy on grease
The Ch'King was a limited time sandwich. I can say after trying it that it is far better than the original chicken sandwich. The breading for the bun and the chicken is better and then chicken is also better because they use different chicken patties.
That’s interesting that Burger King now only offers the “original chicken sandwich” again. I swear I just went the other weekend and saw they were out of the Ch'king promo, but they had a different chicken sandwich available (albeit not as good) but it wasn’t the long shaped original either. // EDIT: Royal Chicken Sandwich // There’s no mistaking the original as it’s awful. The burger king Ch'king was actually pretty decent and meaty. Honestly a solid ‘A’ tier imo. (Sad they discontinued it.) You could even come close to S tier with the Ch'king, if you hacked it and went to McDonald’s before hand and asked them for a side of their spicy chipotle sauce, then brought it to top a Ch’king with it. It was as close to a Popeyes tier as I could find at that time. Can’t wait until they bring it back. You know they will.
All I gotta say is I'm from AZ and after going to Bojangle's three times on a trip to NC, that was easily the best fast food chicken I've ever had. I absolutely SIMP for Bojangle's
I've really been horschwackled by this video. You included Culvers in the tier list, but never discussed nor ranked the Culvers. I was blown away that there even WAS a Culvers in Florida. You built me up and you let me down, moist man.
We have a couple of em here on the southwestern coast of Florida and I can tell you, the crispy chicken sandwich slaps. They prolly would have dropped it in A. Definitely not Popeye's but totally worth it with an order of cheese curds!
For some reason I've had really bad luck with Popeyes every time I've gotten a chicken sandwich it's been dry as hell the one time it was tender it was way smaller than the bun
Ya Their highs are the best chicken sandwich I've had. But they had the worst fries I have ever ate. It might just be the chain I go too. Haven't been there in a while, fries hurt me
@@Izzy-lc9dg after eating their Asiago chicken sandwich for years, I thought the same until I had that Popeyes chicken sandwich. It's game changing and affordable lol
I have one big regret that came with moving out of Florida, I no longer have PDQ near me. The PDQ in Clearwater was the one I visited the most and it slapped.
The first time I had a Popeye's chicken sandwich, I was thoroughly impressed. The sandwich itself looked simple enough, but one bite in, I was like..."holy shit".
It kind of depends on the location. I’ve had awful Popeyes chicken sandwiches. Even the Taco Bell by me has like a 1.7 star rating. Some areas fast food is just ass.
The Ch'King was a serious chicken sandwich. But they got rid of it because it was too time consuming for the cooks to make. They replaced it with the Royal Crispy Chicken sandwich which is not as good (but it's easier to make.) What they ate was the Original Chicken Sandwich, and I don't think it was fair to put it up against the others imo. It's a pretty different product, whereas the Ch'King/Royal were more in the same category as the other sandwiches.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I never hand the chking, but the Royal is still a damn good sandwich. I was confused as hell when they pulled that thing out the bag
yes dude, I was wondering why it looked so different and why it was so bad to them, cause I remember about a year ago I would always get a ch'king deluxe before work and it was such a fucking good chicken sandwich that explains why
Exactly, the Ch'King was the biggest and crunchest chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. While the original chicken sandwich is just a big chicken nugget as a sandwich.
Now that Charlie has tried to Popeyes chicken sandwich, he needs to try the SPICY chicken sandwich because I’m sure it’s gonna be too hot for him, but so good that he’s not gonna be able to stop eating it.
worked in a popeyes the ONLY difference between a spicy sandwich and the regular one is that the spicy sandwich has spicy mayo on it which has some of the blackened seasoning in it
I worked at Checkers and the Chicken sandwich as well as the tenders both had the fry seasoning on them, as for the sauce it think it was call the Squawk sauce and it is amazing!!!
27:09 I will say in burger kings defense you got the "original chicken sandwich" and the one they made for the chicken kickin' competition was was dubbed the "ch'king" sandwich. That is most likely the one they are referring to on the survey as that sandwich actually rivals popeyes and chikfila for me and many others. It's pretty much a carbon copy of your generic chicken sandwich but they are very good.
Yeah I was thinking they got the wrong sandwich since I had the ch'king a few weeks ago and it did not look like the one they ate lol The spicy ch'king is actually really good.
Burger King used to have a really fire chicken sandwich. they had a hand breaded chicken sandwich and it had like double the meat most of these sandwiches had and it tasted amazing but it was super expensive to make so they removed it from their menu and swapped it for something easier to make and cheaper sad tbh
15:00 One of the reasons why you guys are my fav youtuber is that all of your content feels like it was a home video. Basically, early youtube era where people are making videos out of passion with whatever that they got instead of a team full of corporate analysts that pump out content with a bunch of hired employees I love highly edited content but rarely the one made by a huge team of people
exactly, charlie and his friends are just humble guys whos are enjoyable to watch without all of the fast-paced and over the top editing. He's always kept it 100% real.
I always make my own chickie sammies. Ill just spice and season the breading and make my own tomato salsa (make bell peppers chunky). A couple spinach leaves and hollow out the bread. I always say if something’s this good no sauce’s needed. But the amount of meat itll use and bread makes noxious so I use a good about of vegetation to make the dish equitable.
Rewatching this and honestly Bojangles would be a serious contender in my opinion. Had that not too long ago and I rated it above Popeye's in my mind but I haven't had Popeye's in a few years so it would be tough ranking them side by side
Matt: ‘that’s horrendous, im going to be the first to say, that’s horrible.’ Charlie: ‘it’s not that bad.’ Matt: ‘it’s better than I thought it was going to be.’ Yes-man Matt
Lol. They both play it off of each other. It’s so cute. I guarantee everyone’s ears actually perk up once Danny chimes in. I feel like him and Charlie would make a better pairing for tiers. I feel like Dan is straight up honest. I also wish they’d do the whole thing blind, give ratings, and talk about it without seeing anything, then react at the very end.
Pro tip with the Arby’s sandwich, ask for no tomato and no sauce so you just get chicken lettuce and bacon if you ordered the bacon meal. It tastes much better without that stuff.
@@EhtesamUddinPrince The KFC is at least an A. Not an S merely due to the fact that the Popeyes sandwich is the one that bangs your mom after she tells you to go play outside.
In my city, KFC is better than Popeyes, but they're both absolutely murdered by Lee's Famous Recipe. It feels like the Popeyes in my area cuts off all the good pieces of chicken, sends them to KFC, then exclusively cooks and serves the gristle.
The Ch’King is a different sandwich, and it was actually pretty good, nothing like the regular chicken sandwich, but I don't think they have it anymore. It was BK's attempt to wade into the chicken sandwich wars.
They were so good! Some have even said it was better than the Popeye's sandwich but people keep comparing their cheap "Original Chicken" and saying it's awful, because it is.
im glad they recognize that their original chicken sandwich wasnt good and tried to change it. Ive legitimately never in my life had a worse chicken sandwich than burger king, made me so so sick afterwards
The BK near me had them last time I checked but I would understand if they got rid of it. I've read that it was kind of a nightmare for the workers, as the fryers weren't designed for the large pieces of chicken and they would take forever to make and you could only cook like 3 at a time. I personally really liked it and would say it was comparable to a Popeyes sandwich.
The Popeyes one is S tier. Ch’king an A (people you need to do a direct comparison to truly appreciate the flavor and juiciness Popeyes had over the ch’king) Royal is a solid B. It literally has half the meat of a Ch’king, but is does everything else about the same. The original at BK is an F. It’s a glorified football shaped sponge McChicken.
there shouldn’t be gristles in Chik Fil A, MC’ds, or Popeyes. never had that be present in theirs. but it’s a gristle, stop being picky it’s just a part of a chicken 😂
I’ve had that Burger King chicken sandwich one time. I was doing community service in middle school and the people that were also doing community service took me there for lunch. It’s awful. It has like a…sour taste? Thinking about the sodium gives me a migraine. I also felt sick for about 4 hours after eating it so you’re not crazy for feeling that way!
So the thing is we only cook them from raw for 5 minutes in a vegetable oil fryer and it's supposed to get a 1 minute "dwell" time where it finishes cooking, but most employees are in a rush so they just pull up the chicken and put it on the Sammy, most people get fired for serving raw chicken but it does slip threw the cracks often
@@schmeat7609 lol not the case up here in Canada, if anything the KFC Famous chicken sandwich here is like in-between A tier and S tier it's fucking amazing
How could they forget about Culver’s and their crispy chicken, spicy chicken, and grilled chicken sandwiches that all come with pickles, lettuce, and tomato?
Ngl, when he scrapped that Popeye's chicken crust and it made that sound, I was instantly sold. You can only get those sounds when the crust is actually crispy/hard.
Matt: "I'm gonna go out and say it, it's horrendous." Charlie: "It's certainly better than I thought it'd be." Matt: "It's certainly better than I thought it be."
As a former Popeyes employee, I’m surprised they didn’t taste the crack we sneak into the mayo
Then what's the extra that goes in the blackened ranch?
Okay, now that explains a lot. I thought it was the meth I took before. What a relief

Im so happy charlies doing food tier lists again, i havent eaten anything since his last one
understood
We can’t eat until lord charlie wills it.. Just how it is
my farts are better than Charlie's farts
I'm a midwesterner, had Zaxby's once I went to Florida and I still drool over the thoughts of how good their food was
They also used to have the spiciest sauce in fast food, the insane sauce. But they got rid of it because no one ordered it :(
Where’s KFC?
Someone want to tell me how Charlie isn’t even going to have KFC on a chicken sammy tier list
Thank you, I like KFCs chicken sandwich more than Popeyes
They probably didn’t have one close by, but honestly KFC has been getting worse over the years, I’ve had their sandwich twice from two different locations and it was borderline inedible
@@venogreedo6103 I agree with KFC getting worse and worse every year it is like they are not even trying I had both popeyes and KFC. KFC started giving me hearth pains because of how much grease it had while after eating popeyes i felt fine because they did not go crazy on grease
Because he's a hack.
because kfc is bad
The Ch'King was a limited time sandwich. I can say after trying it that it is far better than the original chicken sandwich. The breading for the bun and the chicken is better and then chicken is also better because they use different chicken patties.
As someone who worked there, idk about other places but we hand bread them and fry em like using actual breasts. Ain't no patties lol
The chking was only beaten by popeyes but not by much. It was so good.
I second this opinion on the ChiKing
The Ch'King was a mixed bag for me because I did legitimately think it tasted good, but every time I ate one I got horrible stomachaches.
That’s interesting that Burger King now only offers the “original chicken sandwich” again. I swear I just went the other weekend and saw they were out of the Ch'king promo, but they had a different chicken sandwich available (albeit not as good) but it wasn’t the long shaped original either. // EDIT: Royal Chicken Sandwich // There’s no mistaking the original as it’s awful.
The burger king Ch'king was actually pretty decent and meaty. Honestly a solid ‘A’ tier imo. (Sad they discontinued it.)
You could even come close to S tier with the Ch'king, if you hacked it and went to McDonald’s before hand and asked them for a side of their spicy chipotle sauce, then brought it to top a Ch’king with it. It was as close to a Popeyes tier as I could find at that time.
Can’t wait until they bring it back. You know they will.
13:38 Look at the sandwich. Theres a weewee in there. Your welcome.
All I gotta say is I'm from AZ and after going to Bojangle's three times on a trip to NC, that was easily the best fast food chicken I've ever had. I absolutely SIMP for Bojangle's
I've really been horschwackled by this video. You included Culvers in the tier list, but never discussed nor ranked the Culvers. I was blown away that there even WAS a Culvers in Florida. You built me up and you let me down, moist man.
Ikr 😞
Culver’s slapppps especially sitting on the bench at us air drift track
We have a couple of em here on the southwestern coast of Florida and I can tell you, the crispy chicken sandwich slaps. They prolly would have dropped it in A. Definitely not Popeye's but totally worth it with an order of cheese curds!
The Midwest boy in me was so excited for this. And so destroyed.
Going back to my Meijer and crying.
thats what im saying
The Popeyes chicken sandwich is legitimately one of the best fast food sandwiches I’ve ever had
They came out with a blacked chicken sandwich the other day and it’s infinitely better than the original
@@noahsmith5234a HUH??
For some reason I've had really bad luck with Popeyes every time I've gotten a chicken sandwich it's been dry as hell the one time it was tender it was way smaller than the bun
Ya Their highs are the best chicken sandwich I've had. But they had the worst fries I have ever ate. It might just be the chain I go too. Haven't been there in a while, fries hurt me
@@euler2117 I like their fries but I'd definitely get different ones. They're average but while eating the sandwich they make a nice combo
I love how Matt always gives the better half of the sandwich to Charlie, what a true homie
Matt just a kissass
Damn you for pointing this out to us. LMFAOO
I mean Matt's opinion has no affect on the tier list at all, so makes sense
Charlie paid for them lol
@@Imac7065 i mean it is his video
does anyone else just rewatch old tier list videos while waiting for charlie to post another one
Y'all should start a compost with all the food from these tier list
I got actually excited when they both said theyve never had a popeyes sandwich, that spicy one is the food of the Gods
All culinary effort over the centuries has culminated in the Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich
when the chicken isn't disgusting the sandwhich can be great
this and the Wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches are S tier
I LOVE the spicy chicken asiago, its so good
@@Izzy-lc9dg after eating their Asiago chicken sandwich for years, I thought the same until I had that Popeyes chicken sandwich. It's game changing and affordable lol
@@tempestsquall5882 oh really?
the whole cast's life turning around once they have the popeyes is so funny to me
how kabutop gay!?!?!? 🤨🤔🤔
@@marehawk411 yeah, they’re not sexual. 🤨
Bro said cast
@@marehawk411 or maybe now just I like kabutops and also support basic human rights
cast? these are real people you know that right they're not actors lmfao
You guys should’ve included Bojangles in the list. Had it for the first time in Myrtle Beach, SC. Absolute perfection.
I have one big regret that came with moving out of Florida, I no longer have PDQ near me. The PDQ in Clearwater was the one I visited the most and it slapped.
The first time I had a Popeye's chicken sandwich, I was thoroughly impressed. The sandwich itself looked simple enough, but one bite in, I was like..."holy shit".
It kind of depends on the location. I’ve had awful Popeyes chicken sandwiches. Even the Taco Bell by me has like a 1.7 star rating. Some areas fast food is just ass.
man i wish i could find a good popeyes near me but they all ass
same! We finally got a Popeyes in my city here in the Philippines and I immediately ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, pretty good ngl.
Does anyone know the recipe tho
near me it's all breading and no chicken on the sandwiches. that and they either put no mayo on there or put a gallon on.
The Ch'King was a serious chicken sandwich. But they got rid of it because it was too time consuming for the cooks to make. They replaced it with the Royal Crispy Chicken sandwich which is not as good (but it's easier to make.)
What they ate was the Original Chicken Sandwich, and I don't think it was fair to put it up against the others imo. It's a pretty different product, whereas the Ch'King/Royal were more in the same category as the other sandwiches.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I never hand the chking, but the Royal is still a damn good sandwich. I was confused as hell when they pulled that thing out the bag
Ch’king was a damn good sandwich tbh
yes dude, I was wondering why it looked so different and why it was so bad to them, cause I remember about a year ago I would always get a ch'king deluxe before work and it was such a fucking good chicken sandwich
that explains why
Exactly, the Ch'King was the biggest and crunchest chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. While the original chicken sandwich is just a big chicken nugget as a sandwich.
Spicy Ch’king was damn good
I have re watched this so many times it's my comfort video for some reason
I think a blind test is better. They try the sandwich, then rank before the restaurant is revealed. Eliminates bias of knowing the maker.
i agree
I love how charlie is the one youtuber to always keep the low effort videos, it's great because you can definitely feel how genuine all his stuff is
One of the bigger ones that is
@@civilspace6165 we need more big youtubers exactly like that
Being low effort is what makes it good
You work your tastebuds for 30 whole minutes with chicky sammies and then tell me this was low effort. Incredulous!
Putting the “yourself” back in “Broadcast Yourself”.
Now that Charlie has tried to Popeyes chicken sandwich, he needs to try the SPICY chicken sandwich because I’m sure it’s gonna be too hot for him, but so good that he’s not gonna be able to stop eating it.
The spicy chicken sandwich is GOAT
In Canada we have the Ghost Pepper McChicken...if only Charlie could try one.
Nashville hot is the only way.
worked in a popeyes the ONLY difference between a spicy sandwich and the regular one is that the spicy sandwich has spicy mayo on it which has some of the blackened seasoning in it
@@aydenegan8507 rip your nda?
I worked at Checkers and the Chicken sandwich as well as the tenders both had the fry seasoning on them, as for the sauce it think it was call the Squawk sauce and it is amazing!!!
Me when Culver's is listed but forgotten to be ranked
Charlie is the only person who can make a nearly 30-minute-long video on Chicken Sandwiches and I love him for it
because you def watched all 30 minutes of the video in 8 minutes
No jacksfilms can too
No he’s not
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE cringe
@@KingKobra49 under every comment rly???
27:09 I will say in burger kings defense you got the "original chicken sandwich" and the one they made for the chicken kickin' competition was was dubbed the "ch'king" sandwich. That is most likely the one they are referring to on the survey as that sandwich actually rivals popeyes and chikfila for me and many others. It's pretty much a carbon copy of your generic chicken sandwich but they are very good.
Actually my favorite chicken sandwich, the spicy was so good
The Spicy Ch’King is the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Have gotten it on multiple occasions and it’s been an absolute slapper every single time
yeah they kinda fucked burger king
this exactly
Yeah I was thinking they got the wrong sandwich since I had the ch'king a few weeks ago and it did not look like the one they ate lol The spicy ch'king is actually really good.
I watched this as my my entire family argued in a different room
None of them are "potato buns". they are buttered brioche buns
Burger King used to have a really fire chicken sandwich. they had a hand breaded chicken sandwich and it had like double the meat most of these sandwiches had and it tasted amazing but it was super expensive to make so they removed it from their menu and swapped it for something easier to make and cheaper sad tbh
Rip the chking :(
Chking > Popeyes
The ch'king slaps
They still have it up in the north
@@bigpapapurple north where? They don’t have it in Wisconsin
@@onan8431 they have it in chicago
We still have the chking in Maryland!
15:00 One of the reasons why you guys are my fav youtuber is that all of your content feels like it was a home video. Basically, early youtube era where people are making videos out of passion with whatever that they got instead of a team full of corporate analysts that pump out content with a bunch of hired employees
I love highly edited content but rarely the one made by a huge team of people
agreed. its pure nostalgia without actually being from the past
exactly, charlie and his friends are just humble guys whos are enjoyable to watch without all of the fast-paced and over the top editing. He's always kept it 100% real.
Couldn't agree more. These days youtube videos are so overproduced. This is so relaxing and fun. Feels like you're just chilling out together.
I always make my own chickie sammies. Ill just spice and season the breading and make my own tomato salsa (make bell peppers chunky). A couple spinach leaves and hollow out the bread. I always say if something’s this good no sauce’s needed. But the amount of meat itll use and bread makes noxious so I use a good about of vegetation to make the dish equitable.
Rewatching this and honestly Bojangles would be a serious contender in my opinion. Had that not too long ago and I rated it above Popeye's in my mind but I haven't had Popeye's in a few years so it would be tough ranking them side by side
The face Charlie makes when he bites into the Arbys chicken sandwich has me rolling lmao
His nose scrunched up like a cat sniffing Vegemite
Matt: ‘that’s horrendous, im going to be the first to say, that’s horrible.’
Charlie: ‘it’s not that bad.’
Matt: ‘it’s better than I thought it was going to be.’
Yes-man Matt
Yes-Matt
Maybe he meant it is absolutely abysmal but still better then what he thought it would be
@@maggoteater2290 I mean, knowing Matt’s history in other tier lists, he most likely switched up because of Charlie’s rating.
@YeaMan your music is trash
Lol. They both play it off of each other. It’s so cute.
I guarantee everyone’s ears actually perk up once Danny chimes in. I feel like him and Charlie would make a better pairing for tiers. I feel like Dan is straight up honest.
I also wish they’d do the whole thing blind, give ratings, and talk about it without seeing anything, then react at the very end.
Pro tip with the Arby’s sandwich, ask for no tomato and no sauce so you just get chicken lettuce and bacon if you ordered the bacon meal. It tastes much better without that stuff.
Charlie you should do a tier list tier list ranking all the tier lists you’ve done
Lmao Matt sticking a fork in a sandwich every single time before cutting and then immediately using his hand afterwards anyway is a stoned mood
im so glad im not the only one who noticed this
I’m so confused, did you want him to use the fork to pick up the sandwich?
Jesus i just realized what you meant lmaoo. Just forgoes the fork every time
he does its so he doesnt have to touch charlies piece only his own and it keeps the sandwich in place
@@bigthiccbunny but then why not just give charlie the side he didnt touch
What kinda sucks is the way better version of BKs chicken sandwich isn’t made anymore. The spicy Cha’king was SMACKING
The sauce mixed with that spice 🤤
You'd be happy to know it is, it's just been rebranded as the Royal Crispy chicken sandwich.
Frrrr
@@captain___waffles nah it's a different patty. It's still a good sandwich but it's not the same.
I came here thinking the same thing, that was literally the best chicken sandwich ive had, and those bastards took it away
I’ve never seen Charlie so excited to EAT of all things he’s just so…*incomprehensible noises* emotinless
Who thinks Charlie should have his own water company
Chick fil a sandwich instantly becomes an S tier when you get the deluxe one
The spicy chicken sandwich is such a different genre. It also adds sauce to the McDonald’s chicken sandwich.
They need a spicy chicken sandwich tier list
Spicy chicken sandwiches when done right are the best food items on the menu.
Seriously, if they think Popeye's chicken sandwich is the high point, the spicy version might actually blow their minds.
Charlie not knowing what "gold standard" means killed me 🤣
"ARBYS, WE HAVE THE MEAT"
Charlie: yeah but none of the good ones.
The Arby's chicken bacon swiss is bangin every time I get it. Must be the chain.
“Makes you wanna get up and wiggle your finger a little bit” 😂😂 I’m definitely incorporating this into my everyday vocabulary
Charlie really gonna have chicken sandwiches without inviting the colonel
The colonel has no place here. Louisiana fast chicken sandwiches reign supreme
KFC will be something like an A or B
@@EhtesamUddinPrince The KFC is at least an A. Not an S merely due to the fact that the Popeyes sandwich is the one that bangs your mom after she tells you to go play outside.
In my city, KFC is better than Popeyes, but they're both absolutely murdered by Lee's Famous Recipe.
It feels like the Popeyes in my area cuts off all the good pieces of chicken, sends them to KFC, then exclusively cooks and serves the gristle.
@@EhtesamUddinPrince WHAT wow I never thought I would hear anyone say that. KFC for me is an easy C tier. B If I'm feeling froggy
The silent nod is the universal sign of a good bite
If I was working at checkers, had to make Charlie a chicken sandwich, I would be pretty stoked
The Ch’King is a different sandwich, and it was actually pretty good, nothing like the regular chicken sandwich, but I don't think they have it anymore. It was BK's attempt to wade into the chicken sandwich wars.
They were so good! Some have even said it was better than the Popeye's sandwich but people keep comparing their cheap "Original Chicken" and saying it's awful, because it is.
im glad they recognize that their original chicken sandwich wasnt good and tried to change it. Ive legitimately never in my life had a worse chicken sandwich than burger king, made me so so sick afterwards
The BK near me had them last time I checked but I would understand if they got rid of it. I've read that it was kind of a nightmare for the workers, as the fryers weren't designed for the large pieces of chicken and they would take forever to make and you could only cook like 3 at a time. I personally really liked it and would say it was comparable to a Popeyes sandwich.
@@lrsb1678 The new Royal one is not the same as the Ch'king, and is worse
The Popeyes one is S tier. Ch’king an A (people you need to do a direct comparison to truly appreciate the flavor and juiciness Popeyes had over the ch’king)
Royal is a solid B. It literally has half the meat of a Ch’king, but is does everything else about the same.
The original at BK is an F. It’s a glorified football shaped sponge McChicken.
My problem with chicken sandwiches is im scared to get the chewy pieces, once I feel that, I'm done for the month lmao
Litteraly everything about a sandwich is chewy...the crap you think moving your mouth does...it's called chewing..
@@PotatoeDaddy you never had the really chewy piece of meat from a chicken tender?
@@PotatoeDaddy it's called gristle
@@thatguyukno41 there usually ain’t no gristle in chicken sandwiches so you should be good
there shouldn’t be gristles in Chik Fil A, MC’ds, or Popeyes. never had that be present in theirs. but it’s a gristle, stop being picky it’s just a part of a chicken 😂
I’ve had that Burger King chicken sandwich one time.
I was doing community service in middle school and the people that were also doing community service took me there for lunch. It’s awful. It has like a…sour taste? Thinking about the sodium gives me a migraine. I also felt sick for about 4 hours after eating it so you’re not crazy for feeling that way!
So the thing is we only cook them from raw for 5 minutes in a vegetable oil fryer and it's supposed to get a 1 minute "dwell" time where it finishes cooking, but most employees are in a rush so they just pull up the chicken and put it on the Sammy, most people get fired for serving raw chicken but it does slip threw the cracks often

I like how Culver’s was also supposed to be part of the list yet they never ate Culver’s
Rip
It’s definitely an S tier. ButterBurgers are the best.
Ikr. Was looking forward to that one the whole time as a Midwesterner.
i was just about to comment how there wasnt a culvers bag

Honestly had same reaction to Popeye’s chicken sandwich even like a year after missing all the original hype. Profoundly good.
