Thanks for the shout out, Josh! My little brother was so excited to tell me he saw you at work!
Repent and obey Jesus, No hypocrites will enter the kingdom of God!! You can’t say you love Jesus and live in willful sin that’s playing the hypocrite and You will go to hell if you don’t repent and start obeying Jesus. Jesus says that most people go to hell!! Why? Because they believe they love Jesus but their lifestyle doesn’t show that they love Jesus
@@rauda1059shut up
Boy, you famous now, LOL.
@@rauda1059Jesus loves chicken 🐔 sandwichs 🥪
@@rauda1059leave people alone man. You're as bad as the trans forcing this garbage. You better be a bot
What I've learned is that the quality of franchises really comes down to individual stores
This is true, get a good location and just about anywhere is good.
Exactly! My town’s Wendy’s SUCKS, and my friend in Illinois manages a Wendy’s and it’s IMMACULATE, he’s gotten praise on basically every inspection he’s gotten and has a near perfect review score on google
underrated comment.
But consistency is key
Arby's is my favorite example of what you just said. Go to a bad one and you'll end up with raw chicken snd food poisoning, a good one and it's really good.
Coming from Germany, its crazy to see how many „similar“ fast food places there really are. We got like Mc Donalds, BK, Kfc, Subway and thats it
Yeah even living in the north west part of america we dont have half of these restaurants
Yes but I'm guessing that like here in France, you will have a million kebab type places with each their own Chicken burger :) BTW in Berlin, you can find great Greek pita.
@@joaquingimenez222I mean, why would you be happy for having KFC? We have it where I’m from and I have been there three times my whole life, and the last time I ate there they gave me a chicken sandwich that was both burnt AND frozen at the same time lmaooo
Nothing to be happy about lmao KFC is dogshit @@joaquingimenez222
Ein krasser chickenladen fehlt bei uns leider
Mcdonalds has a "premium" chicken sandwich. Kind of unfair to get the dollar menu chicken sandwich instead when you are getting premium chicken sandwiches from other places that are charging $6+ for one sandwich.
I agree, those premiums at Mdz are pretty good I think they were better than chik fil a.
They are rating only the taste not the price
@@billvrg1242 so buy the one thats a premium chicken sandwich not the cheap one??? crispy chicken sandwich is 10 levels above the mcchicken
I never even seen it in the menu sorry
honestly what I thought. like thats not the only chicken sandwich hello??? I work at McDonalds, and because we don't sell a lot of the McChickens, they tend to dry out easily in the warmer treys so they're not all that good.. plus, they are just chicken patties, not chucken breasts like the McCrispy... also..... "they smell just like their burgers: like Mayonnaise" my dude we don't put Mayo on our burgers unless you ask 🤣the only burger that has mayo by default is the daily double and most people don't even know that exists.
Should've done the McCrispy sandwich instead of the McChicken probably is just as bad but I feel like that's more of the kind of chicken sandwich you're going for
To be fair the McChicken has been around longer and is one of their iconic menu items
I was thinking the same thing. The McCrispy would have been a better comparison option.
The McChicken is the chicken sandwich most folks get when they get at McDonald's. As for the McCrispy, they made every wrong choice you can make when doing a "premium" chicken sandwich. The breading and the brioche bun are both way too sweet. It's a Marie Antoinette bun ("qu'ils mangent brioche.")
Was thinking the same thing. Apples and oranges. McCrispy and ChicKing should have been tested.
honestly, for the price, it's arguably worse. they charge you a premium for garbage that isn't even better. at least a McChicken is cheap and fast.
All I learned from this chicken sandwich review is that a lot of fast food managers don't make sure the fry oil is getting changed.
Edit: I'll reply to all the comments about why this happens all at once. In my experience the equipment for filtering and changing is a pain to use and clean so nobody wants to filter and especially nobody wants to scrub or soak the fryer before adding the new oil which ruins the new oil faster. Also yes budget can come into it.
Hey it’s Tyler!
Yeah it's to save money
You'd be right.
@@yotambraunshtein9786 While yes, that is a reason, it's not the biggest reason.
It takes a lot of effort to change oil, AND it can be a fucking mess. Most people I've met that take too long to do it don't want to do it and wait as long as they can.
Working at maccas, I've seen it changed in literally 15 minutes by 1 person during an overnight. It's really not hard, a slight hassle but not hard
Tried jolibee for the first time last year and was absolutely blown away. couldnt agree more
I love how high Bojangles scored, i lived in the south and a lot of the fast-food chains aren't around here but Bojangles? Making chicken sandwiches was one of their best decisions ever I love them
Their bread complaints would have been addressed if they got the REAL Boj sandwich, the chicken filet biscuit. Just sayin.
@@Cap_Pig cajun fillet biscuit dipped in that gravy with some hash rounds on the side and a big ole sweet tea oh my gooooooooooooooood
OMG OMG Josh Weissman voted us the GREATEST chicken sandwich in America!! We love you too *fangirl screaming*
Jollibee #1
Shout out to phillipines
JOLLIBEE FOREVERRR ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I hope Josh finds this comment and deletes it with pure atthority. You spoiled the video!
Well deserved spot. My first taste of Jollibee was 26 years ago in Manila and the taste still remains the same in the USA after all these years.
As an European, I am always shocked by the number of different fast food chains in America, and how similar they all look like.
But man, they taste so different.
Just another reason the United States is the best country on Earth.
@@mikebrowne477 Also the fattest! :)
@@mikebrowne477bahahahha you wish 😂
A ton of places don't have the same stores though. State to state you have variety. They are in big city Texas though which has almost everything.
Feed the cameraman
abt to say that lol
christian is back: YAAAAAY! (i just watched the burger one :D )
vikram is here too: double yay!!! (my very first vid, where ya'll ranked all the states' meals)
love seeing the bro-ship. is fun
As someone from NC it feels good to see Bojangles ranking so high up.
I think he should try Smithfield's Chicken if he ever ends up in NC. No sauce though (but he could add Red Sauce).
Everytime I (in the upper Midwest) go back home to visit my parents in SC, the FIRST place I hit is Bojangles so I can be in chicken heaven!!
As a fellow North Carolinian, give hardees breakfast a try next time, I think it's better than Bo n cheaper fs. Bo still rocks regular food though
NC 🫡 Especially Greensboro.
I used to have Bojangles on vacations to the SC and Georgia coast as a kid. I live on the other side of the country now and still think about that chicken😭
I think what set jollibees chicken sandwich apart isn’t necessarily the flavor but just how well it was made and also the bun to chicken ratio was also the best in my opinion. Ive never had a dry jollibee chicken sandwich so i think tge rating was well deserved
We appreciate the kind words! Thank you so much for the support!
@@JollibeeUSA☝🏻🤓
@@JollibeeUSAI wish we had one, we are out in the boonies very rural.
they use dark meat of the chicken thats why it has so much flavor unlike most chicken sandwich.
Jollibee was made from 🇵🇭
As Mexican who lived in Hawaii and having tried all the U.S. Fast food restaurants, Jollibee is by far my favorite place for chicken sandwiches. Best chicken by far, crispy and very moist. Now I live in Mexico but no Jollibee here 😭😭
I've been binging your videos and love your energy. I just bought both your cookbooks.
My wife just bought me both of your cookbooks for my birthday and I'm hyped. I'm currently in the process of reading through your first one, and just got through the stocks and broths section. Extremely well written and lives up to the hype. Huge thank you to my wife for buying them for me, and an equally huge thank you to you for writing them Josh.
shes a keeper
Ever since I ate Jollibee's chicken sandwich, my standards for chicken sandwiches has been so high lmao. Aint nothing beating that big fat juicy & spicy chicken from Jollibee
I like a cajun jerk chicken at Fat Burger
As someone who's worked at Culver's before the same practices are used at all locations.. that lettuce could have very easily been a bit on the old side or left out for so long. The same goes for the spring mix they use on salads just barely to the point of old lettuce.. keeps costs down obv
A fresh Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is easily the best chicken sandwich. I’ve been too Popeyes around 10 times and the most recent time it was perfectly fresh. It might have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten
We’re lucky to live near Jollibee. Their spicy chicken sandwich has fresh jalapeños instead of pickles. So you get that crunch like a pickle, but it kicks up the spice a bit. Then they put sriracha mayo on it. It is hands down the best chicken sandwich. Then you can get their adobo rice. The fried pies are incredible with the mango or the pineapple. Also if you get the chicken joy they only do dark meat. Such an underrated Chicken place.
Shhhh dont hype it up too much. We dont our drive thru wait time @ Jollibee to increase lol
As a Filipino, this warms my heart. Glad you're enjoying it 👍
Am I the only one that absolutely hates fresh jalapeños? Pickled is 1000000x better. Fresh is disgusting.
Repent and obey Jesus, No hypocrites will enter the kingdom of God!! You can’t say you love Jesus and live in willful sin that’s playing the hypocrite and You will go to hell if you don’t repent and start obeying Jesus. Jesus says that most people go to hell!! Why? Because they believe they love Jesus but their lifestyle doesn’t show that they love Jesus
I wasn’t even surprise Jolibee won, the first time I ever tried their spicy chicken burger, I was convinced it was the best chicken burger I ever had and I crave it every week I swear
Weird, we just had a few jollibee open up in the UK and it's total dogshit, worst fried chicken on the high street.
CAP
Oh I am so happy Jolibee won, they do great chicken.
@@willsoeprobably because its a UK location
@@willsoemy cousin moved to the UK (we are from the Philippines) and he and his wife said that a lot of items there tasted and looked different from what is served back home. I guess the store had to adhere to UK food standards.
Hey guys! I absolutely LOVED this video! As a person who doesn't really go for burgers the chicken sandwich is my main choice. I am curious about one thing though. Do you have an El Pollo Loco in your area? I'm SUPER interested in what rating you would give them!!!
BTW Josh your cookbook is EXCELLENT!👏👏🎉🎊❤🥰💯
Ive eaten Jollibees chicken and rice with gravy, and that chicken is perfect. Wish I managed to try one of these sandwiches, when I was in Philippines.
These guys are tough raters, but I do appreciate the consistency in the rankings. Solid list.
consistency is key i think. regardless of whether people agree with their ratings, you can see a consistent trend in how they grade each sandwich throughout each drive-thru visit
Honestly, Christian can give like a polar opposite review and still scores it within .5 range of the other guys. It makes it kinda pointless to have two people reviewing it at that point 😂
What about max?
"everythings good but because there's no crunch imma fucking deduct it 5.2pts". Aight.
@@ChappersLaNoCry Bruh, Josh's newest book is titled, "Texture over Taste"
You think he might care about the crunch a little?
The thing about Jollibee when it comes to chicken manu. They perfected it. The joice, the crunch, the flavor. Just top tier. I even ask gravy for my sandwich...
You really can’t beat a good joice.
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
You're right. Dip the chicken in the gravy. It is sooo good❤
Yea ngl i usually just coat it in the gravy before i eat it 😂 but tru its reallyreally juicy
Fast food chains vary a lot from country to country, but I'd say in Europe too Jollybees tends to have the best fried chicken (way better than KFC, Popeyes, Burger King and McDonalds).
Respect to Josh for eating 24 burgers in a day just for our viewing pleasure 🤝😤
I use to work at Hardees/Carl Jr's and the chicken sandwiches were freshly battered every day; it wasn't something that came in frozen and I'm sure that helps with the quality.
Was inspired to try Jollibee and was blown away. The juiciest, crispiest, most delicious fast food chicken sandwich I've ever tried.
I had it, was not brined, hardly any seasonings. Still good, but not even close to as good as popeyes.
@@burnertrump875 depends on what store you go to and thats the same with almost every store with very few exceptions like in n out
@@burnertrump875wow nothing like my experience. Some times bad employees get jobs for a little while and affect a business. I say try it again
next time you go, please try the drumsticks broooo, it's so f ing juicy and tender man, plus that crunch is insane.
@@burnertrump875 based comment
As a North Carolinian, I’m proud of Bojangles pulling out the number 2 spot but now I wanna go get some Jollibees if it can beat Bojangles!
i lived in nc for most of my childhood and was rooting for bojangles after it was ranked and i was honestly hoping they didn’t include jollibee because it’s that’s good. i highly recommend you give it a shot if you are ever near one!
It's the underdog where I live because we have Popeyes and raising Cain's with a mile of it
Anyone who can beat Bojangles is definitely a must try. Jollibees is definitely a must try if it can beat Bojangles.
i ate alot of joilibee when i visited the philippines.its good,try the chicken,the champ burger,halo halo and there spaghetti.the spaghetti is diff and it is really sweet but you will get used to filipino taste.
So as a person who's eaten a lot of friend chicken and who also has an extremely refined palate, I can truly say that Jollibee (specifically the hot) is the best fried chicken I've ever eaten non-homemade by a mile!
I used to love chick fil a till I had Dave's and I loved Dave's until I had bojanles. But once I had Jollibee I will never, ever go back to a Popeyes, KFC, or Churches ever again! I remember the 1st time I had Jollibee I was driving by and was like "what's this place?" I had my wife go through the drive through and I was appalled by the prices. I ordered 1 spicy leg it was like $4-5!!! I was complaining and grumpy the entire time. I took 1 bite and made her go back though the drive through again and bought an entire 10 piece bucket.
It was the greatest hidden gem I've ever discovered. The only down side is the price. It's hella expensive and truly not affordable by the average person. I don't even eat fast food anymore (due to health reasons) but I still allow myself to have spicy Jollibee chicken once every month. I honestly wasn't that impressed by their chicken sandwich specifically, but you owe to yourself to try their spicy chicken, and be warned, it's extremely hot, just like I like it!
7:55 As a former fastfood worker, If someone ever talked to me like that at a drive thru, I'd leave 😂
grow some thicker skin bro
@@poluticon nah drive thru worker is getting his throat punched for that
@@andy69696 you’d assault someone over something so trivial? You have serious issues.
In Poland, there are not most of these fast-food outlets, but we have stricter quality regulations (the food does not contain as much chemicals and salt as American ones) and two awesome fast-food outlets: Nort Fish and Max Premium Burgers
For the McDonalds review, I think it would have been more fair if you got the McCrispy, the McChicken is literally just there for people who are looking for something cheap and filling. The McCrispy is more of a chicken type sandwich, though it usually is pretty stringy but it would have gotten a higher rating I feel.
Agreed. I was shocked they got the McChicken
A "chicken type sandwich"? So, it's not a real chicken sandwich.
It's more like a giant nugget lol.@@solkalibri1376
Same.
Agreed.
When BK had the Ch'king sandwich....it was always worth seeking out over the other fast food chicken sandos.
Fr
I miss it so much. They struck gold with that sandwich and just got rid of it anyways. rip
when i saw they removed that sandwich i cried
Ch'King was honestly great. Royal is pretty bad.
I worked at BK handbreading them, they was a pain in the ass to make, had there own station they got ass messey as you'd think for bunch un professional people try to try too work it,
so they got rid of it only because of the mess sadly
thank you! i also agree jolibee surprisingly has the best chicken sandwich!! but I would put popeyes at 2 or 3.
its kinda crazy actually cause i just went to jollibee for the first time two weeks ago and i did get the chicken sandwich for my first jollibee meal and it honestly made me come back the next day to eat more. this video just backs me up XDD
That’s the Jollibee I frequent! Been trying to tell everyone that Jollibee’a chicken sandwich is criminally underrated! Here’s a next level tip: get some gravy and dip the sandwich in the gravy. 🤯
Dude, the lifehack of a real eater!
Anything can be dip on that jollibee gravy.
Mine's pretty ass sadly. Employee told me the location buys their chicken on cheap and it's really low quality.
I worked at Carl’s Jr., the chicken is battered fresh, buttermilk then dry mix, then fried, I can already tell you didn’t get a fresh sandwhich because of how fast it is, if you get a fresh sandwhich from Carls, you’re gonna wait about 5-6 minutes, the chicken takes 4 minutes to fry at a time.
Agree, I've always waited for chicken tenders and a chicken sandwich from Hardees(same as Carl's Jr here), and it's excellent if you get it fresh!
Carls Jr has gifted me with several heavenly chicken sandwiches in my days
do you guys get frozen buns? i delivered mbm foodservice to hardees 10 years ago and they got frozen buns for some of their fancy sandwiches
Yo so it's even better than the video?
Bacon Swiss was my fav for years.
Bojangles is a comfort place. Good chicken, good sweet tea, and banging biscuits.
17:31 Nose Slap! It’s an interesting brand, definitely works though! I use it whenever I start to nod off during work..
17:33 is arguably the best moment of a TH-cam video I’ve ever seen.
The line… the *ahem*… goddamn that was perfect 😆😆😆
Bro fr!!!
Agreed 😭😭😭
Can be a meme material
Anyone who has tried Jolibee's chicken knew they weren't the underdog. They have, by far, the best fast food chicken in the game.
Repent and obey Jesus, No hypocrites will enter the kingdom of God!! You can’t say you love Jesus and live in willful sin that’s playing the hypocrite and You will go to hell if you don’t repent and start obeying Jesus. Jesus says that most people go to hell!! Why?

He used a tried and true formula, and it still works because it's fun to compare different opinions
Jollibee chicken motto is literally crispylicious, juicylicious chicken joy 😂 they are almost always never gonna disappoint.
How abaout the fast service of jolibee damn the best!! bida ang saya 😂
The story is that they have to taste test every fried chicken out there to perfect it in their own way
Tuna pie>
Slim Chickens is my new favorite. I've been to multiple locations and I've never had a bad experience.
Josh is just out here roasting almost every fast food restaurant in America 😂
Jollibee’s spicy chicken sandwich really surprised me, everything they said in the video is true about the regular sandwich. BUT the spicy comes with fresh jalapeños in addition to the usually spicy mayo, which just makes it so unique and delicious
Had this the last week it was so good, the fresh jalapeños added a lot. Best chicken sandwich from fast food place I ever had.
Is the sandwich spicy because of the sauce or is the breading actually different like in their regular chicken?
Gonna try it today
Was just saying this! The spicy version is out of this world. They season the chicken thigh patty with loads of spice and it’s 10x better than the regular one.
@@too2buffthe chicken is marinated in spices, so you can really taste the spice from the meat itself.
Vic has the hardest job in the world, sitting with them in car for ungodly amount of time right after they ate so many chicken sandwiches 😂
The farts in that car must have been atrocious. Our hearts go out to you, Vic.
Also the keep ordering two sandwiches, so no food for Vic, or maybe he gets the leftovers
Arby’s in Canada has this chicken sandwich with honey mustard and bacon on it and it’s one of my favourites tbh
I test food for a travel magazine and I am a big McDonald's fan of chicken burgers and fish burgers. I live in Paris France and it's law that oil has to be changed once a day and bread has to be locally made. ( American bread is banned in France due to dangerous chemicals) You can also choose your sauce so barbeque, curry or cucumber. We only have KFC but no other fast food spots. There are a lot of inspections in France so fast food places don't last. Subway and Pizza Hut and 5 Guys exist and they are excellent. Mostly small family restaurants serve burgers and fries. McDonalds was closed down for five years for the way they steam and press and compact whole chickens, heads and all. Very few meat and fish are deep fried in France. The best fast food is vegetarian pizza from Pizza Hut.
Yay!! As part Filipino, I am so happy Jollibee came in at #1. Love their Chicken sandwich. You gotta try the spicy version, they are amazing as well.
Is that you and dave grohl as ur pfp???
I wish I had Jollibee near me, but I have a few dave's locations near me and I'd personally give it a far higher score than they did in the video (I usually order the extra hot)
Kudos to Josh saying "Mahal kita" in the end
I've already ate the chicken sandwich of Jollibee everytime I go there though I'm surprised about the amount of time for you guys to be finished cooking that chicken cuz everytime I order it, they always say it will take 15mins to be prep and only shortest one is about 5mins (dine-in btw) but I let them cooked and never disappoint me. LET'S GO JOLLIBEE
Maybe it's being ordered often so they just keep frying it like chickenjoy but just enough that later customers won't get a cold chicken
@@tediibilog I mean it does vary, I waited 15mins and then waited 5mins cuz the chicken is just so hot that I burned my tongue and the juices is just makes me water more cuz I just wanna eat it but it's too hot.
It's made-to-order is my wildest guess. To ensure freshness
@@vVvYOINK yeah, and I'm just really shocked how fast Josh got theirs.
Yea the first time I went to Jollibee, it took them 30 mins for a chicken sandwich????? 30 mins? and dropped my fries too, horrible eating experience, never been back since.
Shouldn't be watching this since im fasting for a few more hours and this is going to make me want to go straight to get a chicken sandwich somewhere 🤤🤤
I think other competitors may stood a chance if their employees treat the food and the customer with love. Jollibee, for the most part, has Filipino/a workers. They put love in the food they create. The work environment too is really nice and friendly. You get greeted when you order via drive-thru. If only fast food companies work like this.
Now i'm sad cause folks gonna go in line for the Jollibee Chicken sandwich and thus it'll sold out quickly... Nooo, my hidden gem. But anyway, they deserve the recognition. Their chicken sandwiches are the BOMB, especially the spicy one. 😋
HAHA I feel youu
Just had the spicy one today, best fast food fried chicken sandwich on the market
Good thing I live in the Philippines rn cause I can just goes a few blocks away before I see another Jollibee
I'm at Jollibee rn because of this video... this chicken sandwich is honestly amazing
Next time you go try the spicy chicken. Sriracha mayo and fresh jalapeños. Also the adobo rice is delicious too. Oh and the pies…holy hell the pies…
@@FoolOfATuqueimma go tomorrow just because of this. Never heard of jolibee, being from Seattle, but I happen to be in Texas currently.
@@FoolOfATuqueBro I know what you're talking about. The pies are INSANELY GOOD. They're like heavenly gifts from God for us mere mortals.
@@FoolOfATuque peach mango has always been my favorite. Never past a month i dont eat one
Thank you so much for stopping by! Your support means the world to us! ❤️
When I went to Bojangles last time we had I think strips maybe a sandwich. Last time I remember it was very good. It was very juicy
Bojangles got the respect they deserve. No one believes me when I say how much better it is than the other big chains.
Jolibee is underrated as hell and it still comes in with the W. I probably can't see any other fast food restaurants that can compete with jolibee's quality.
Nearly all of them beat Jolibee for me for the simple reason that the closest one is 85 miles away. Ain't no chicken sandwich worth that.
@@wingracer1614thats a you problem ngl
@@LeftforDeadZombie You could put it that way. You could also call it a they problem as there is only four in the entire state (a large and very populous one, not a wasteland). California is the only state they have a somewhat large presence in.
Everything else on the list I could go to except for Carls but we do have Hardees. Dave's would be a bit of a drive but closer.
@@wingracer1614 its a small business of course there wont be very many in the state

@@samfunfun646 he's pretty pretentious
you order the wrong mcdonald’s sandwich and the wrong burger king sandwich
Josh was on the a Hot Dog is a sandwich podcast recently
my guess is watching the coulourshape of the bun the the outside and how shiny the top of the bun is, veggies for sogginess, flatness and crunch
I don’t know if it qualifies as fast food using your criteria, but you should try Fry The Coop in IL if you’re ever up this way, Get the Nashville chicken sandwich. Take care choosing the heat level because they don’t mess around.
I have said it dozens of times, the Bojangle’s chicken sandwich is way underrated.
The last time I had one, it was great except it was dry, like cooked 3 weeks ago and allowed to sit out dry. It made me cry on the inside. (but it was probably the city, because that place is a dump...)
That said, I'd give it another shot in a better place.
The only thing I miss from North Carolina is bojangles…. My family is there, bojangles still takes the crown.
Bojangles is at its BEST as a breakfast spot. The Cajun Chicken Biscuits and Bo Rounds don't miss.

I definitely think you should have requested the "spicy" version of every chicken sandwich your tried (if available). You guys definitely gave points on the restaurants that only offered spicy sandwiches. And I can't stand ANY regular crispy chicken sandwich and yet I love spicy crispy sandwiches.

This right here. The spicy sandwichs are always more flavorful
@@MikasaAckermann831especially since most fast food places have to appeal to the least common denominator, so “spicy” really just usually means “added spices and flavor”
Same I agree
I agree. The Popeyes bland version is meh, but I'd commit crimes for the spicy one.
That disco house track at the end was straight fire!
16:27 Zaxby’s old Cajun Grilled Chicken Club was amazing. Hands down the best grilled chicken sandwich ever. RIP 🪦 Zaxby’s Cajun Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Agree with many that at some locations you did not have fried chicken sandwiches, you had chicken patty's - BK and McD come to mind. BK has the Royal Crispy and McD has the McCrispy - Both are vastly superior to the patty sandiwches you had.
love when you make videos with christian, hes chill af

The way he said he'd come back to Chick-Fil-A when the line went down... I laughed so hard. At least around me it's never a short line.
and yet they're arguably the best in the game at keeping that line moving quickly - when I see a long line at CFA, it's not even a deterrent.
Never a short line BUT still the fastest moving line around lol
Everytime Ive been in a CFA line thats 20+ cars deep im in and out in under 10 minutes where as a McDonalds or anyother place 10 cars deep youll be there for 25-40 minutes
I’ve never liked chick fil a. Always tastes lukewarm cardboard to me
It is on Sunday.
i can’t believe i almost forgot about the Jolibee chicken sandwich until Josh brought it up at the end of the video. the first time i had it, i was in awe
Joshua is like that lecturer you don't want marking your paper yet so fair you can't ask for a remark
Haven’t Seen any Jokkube (sp) in Florida but I will have to do some research ..thx 😊
The reaction to an employee outside of Chickfila saying my pleasure had me, a previous employee of cfa dying 😂🤣
You should’ve done the McCrispy chicken sandwich from McDonald’s not their mcchicken
Same with BK
they still suck tho so who cares, not like they had a chance against Popeyes or Jollibee
Should have done both
mcdonalds old version of the McCrispy, the southern style chicken sandwich was LIGHTYEARS better than the McCrispy and by far the closest to a Chick fil a sandwich they ever had and not a day goes by that im not angry that they dont serve it anymore, huge L for mcdonalds
Agreed. If they're evaluating the new wave of chicken sandwiches, then they f'd up here.
We got Eagan's out here in Olympia. Local spot = DEE-LISH!👩🍳 Chicken sammy comes on toasted sourdough bread, option for bacon.🥓
21:51 “good amount of mayo” 🤣
As an Aussie, I wish I could understand even having more than 5 options to test out. Experiencing this video sounds fun
As a resident of NYC, I also cannot understand the number of options. I’ve never heard of most of these!
It seems like we have fewer options than the US but we deffo have more than 5! There’s maccas, kfc, hungry jacks, oporto, red rooster, el jannah, ribs & burgers, broaster chicken, grill’d, betty’s burgers, nando’s, chicken treat, nene chicken, carl’s jr, five guys…
@@ninadora1im in nyc and have heard of basically all of them lol
@@kuchen_ Half of those aren't viable options for many people though.
Five Guys only has 3 locations in the country with 2 in NSW with Sydney and Penrith, and the other one is in Melbourne.
Ribs & Burgers only have 11 locations in NSW all localised in Sydney, 8 within the heart of the city itself with only 3 out in the Western Suburbs of Stanhope, Bella Vista and Gregory Hills. There are only 6 locations outside NSW with 3 in VIC, 2 in QLD and just 1 in WA.
Chicken Treat is a WA franchise with just two stores in NSW both in the Sydney area.
El Jannah is mostly just in the Sydney area with 16 active stores with a few more coming soon, there's only one NSW store outside of Sydney which is coming soon in Albion Park. Outside NSW there's only 5 (soon 6) stores in VIC and 1 in ACT, and that's it.
Broaster Chicken is also pretty much just NSW based around Sydney too with 1 store in Newcastle and 1 in Wollongong. There's also currently just 2 stores in VIC, 1 store in ACT and 1 in WA.
Nene Chicken is mostly in VIC with 5 stores in NSW all around Sydney, 5 in WA, 1 in QLD, 1 in NT and 1 in ACT.
Carl Jr's is also only in VIC, QLD, SA and NSW. In SA and NSW there's only 7 stores each, and in NSW there's only 2 within the Sydney area both of which are in Western Sydney being in Bringelly (been to this one a few times myself, it's not bad especially with the free drink refills when inside) and Wetherill Park.
At least our Aussie KFC is actually good though and not like the abomination seen in this video, and we have Zinger Burgers.
The McCrispy at Mcdonalds and Ch'king at burger king are both pretty solid actually. Much better than the mcchicken and original chicken sandwich. I always thought the long chicken sandwich at burger king was nasty. Tastes like fish to me maybe it's the oil like you said.
Unfortunately BK discontinued the Ch'king about a year ago. The spicy one was tremendous with that nashville hot style glaze. Their new one is not near as good, in fact probably worse than their chicken sandwiches prior to the Ch'king days.
@@TonyEvers-bucksin6 That's interesting. Wonder why it got discontinued. Seems like chicken sandwiches became one of the hot items at fastfood spots after the whole Popeyes craze a few years ago.
@@beauburris7739 According to BK it was too difficult to make and they wanted more focus on the Whopper.
Gotta say love the F1 styled scoreboard design looks sick
the best way to tackle this kind of topic....would be to taste the consensus best fried chicken burger option at each location. i feel as though you may have not tasted the best each restaurant had to serve.
Thank you SO MUCH for including the southeast's Bojangles in this!!!!! It's one of my favorite fast food spots, and finally seeing it included in something makes my heart so dang happy!
The biscuits.. I mean, they're crispy. Utter PERFECTION. ❤❤
Man, living in CA I'm feeling the jealousy right now. Next time I'm visiting my folks in FL maybe!
The beauty of Chick-fil-a is consistency. It's never going to be a world beater, but its rarely a bad experience.
plus whatever kind of crack they put in there to make it so addictive. Damn it's 9AM and my mouth is watering.
For me the formula years ago was 5 ketchup packets, two mayo and one hot sauce for the sandwich and for a large fries. When Heinz came out with those huge packets, then it was two of those.
Can't go wrong.
To each their own but CFA is undefeated in my opinion.
i think their chicken sandwich is mad overrated, but their waffle fries will always be top tier
@@wifiguy51 The waffle fries are heaven
3:36 I appreciate the CaseOh singing
I really wish y’all had gone to PDQ. I don’t know if it would’ve topped the list, but definitely top 3
Jollibee deserves all the credits it can get. I rarely go to Fast Food chains but Jollibee's chicken and chicken sandwich is so good. Spaghetti and rice is a nice side too.
Jollibee in the philippines is disgusting though
@@slee2695worst take ever 💀
@@Endlock_ so is liking your own comment lmao
Dry ass chicken that needs gravy, spaghetti that tastes like baby food, burgers with more fillers than meat, banana ketchup
@@slee2695you are such bs.youve never tried Jollibee in PH.. actually you may have never tried Jollibee at all..Lol.. they dont put banana ketchup on the burgers or chicken sandwiches, they have different sauces for those 😆
The chemistry between Josh and Christian is incredible, so fun to watch. Also, I'm shocked about the number of fast food chains in America.
what'll surprise you is that this is not even 10% of all the fast food chains in America.
And keep in mind, these are just the national chains and ones with "big cultural significance". It's not even 10% of fast foods that exist in the US.
This is why we're fat.
Fast food is americas contribution in thr food world.
America doesnt have real food or original food, like asian countries or european cooking like french or italian.
Josh and Christian deserve their own Netflix series going around the country, even the world, trying every food they can find
I gotta be honest, Ive eaten at most of these places.. and I think your rankings were spot ON.
If you ever come to Canada you have to try mary browns big mary chicken sandwich. I love chicken sandwiches but I haven't had one better then mary browns including jolliebees
Glad you enjoyed our Jollibee’s chicken burger! It’s a big hit even here in the Philippines that they always run out in cities with only 1 of 2 branches. They toast and season the buns, seasoned the hell out of the chicken thigh patty, and have that signature sweet sauce we Filipinos love. Also, you have to try the spicy version! It is 🔥!
We LOVE our chicken, and we PRIDE ourselves in our Jollibee so they really delivered ❤️ yeay for Jollibee as the champ! 🇵🇭
When y'all said "We'll come back when the line dies down" at Chick-fil-a, I couldn't help but laugh cause ain't no WAY is that happening
I don't get.... the fuss about chik fil a baffles me
to me it's the combination of things: excellent food (chicken sandwiches with their sauces, waffle fries and arguably the best sweet tea out there), fast service despite the long lines, and their reward system with lots of free food (both earned and "just because" free food from the franchise owners). It may not be the best tasting chicken sandwich out there, but for fast food, it's solid. For the record, of the top 9 listed in this video, I only have a Carls Jr (that score surprised me) and a Popeye's nearby, and my experience at Popeye's was horrible. I do like Bojangles though when I get chance to go @@aneesah4341
Plus, the line goes REALLY fast, anyway! 🤭
@@aneesah4341 because MSG is addictive
@@aneesah4341yeah i think its overrated it doesnt taste the best
Yall are brave for both A&W and Church’s.
if yall tried this in Australia you would be pleasantly surprised, just we don't have NEARLY as many fast food chains. btw if you try to find Burger King here, it's called Hungry Jacks and they're owned by BK, they are one of the most iconic fast food chains down here and have amazing food
Would you also want to include a price component on it? It will really put into perspective how much value they are adding in the food
I was thinking the same. Like a score / dollar ratio per restaurant.
I think just adding the price would be fine. But not to add it to the score. This is about flavor overall who cares about price it's fast food anyway.
Wrong way of thinking. Things shouldn’t be given a higher score or even a passing grade because it’s cheap. If anything it should tell you it’s not real meat and should be avoided.
Streetfoodaround here
@@FrankDux-uo7ig Not real meat? Gimme a break. None of the sandwiches here have fake meat.
I find it wonderful that you both mentioned the bitterness that fry oil takes on. Thank you Joshua.
When they mentioned the old fry oil on the DQ sandwich, I had to agree with it. I worked at a DQ for a while, and if you got there later in the day they did not switch out the oil, it was definitely old.
That's why I rarely order fries from fast food places, more often than not they'll come out bitter 🤢
Generally don't get takeaway chicken sandwiches unless the store does chicken. Red Rooster (Australian) started doing fried alonside their roast chicken and it is pretty good.
There’s a place I went to as a kid in New Jersey. Burger express I think was the name. It’s been over 20 years and I still remember how good it was. The chicken sammich with fries and chili ( chili in a cup ) I wish I could go again. I live in ca. kinda wish it was on the list here. But who knows if it’s still around. And good as before.
