Beloved fast-food fried-chicken chain Popeyes,
founded in a New Orleans suburb, is known for its Cajun-seasoned chicken, sides like red beans and rice and mashed potatoes and gravy, and catchy jingle from musician Dr. John. And now, it’s got

Launched at all of Popeyes’ 3,000-plus restaurants nationwide last week,
the $3.99 sandwich, which the Miami company claims is its “biggest product launch in the last 30 years,” has changed the chicken landscape.
In fact, it’s created
an all-out war.
The Popeyes
sandwich closely resembles, in structure anyway, the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich — a bun, patty, pickle composition. No wonder it has
taken on Chick-fil-A on Twitter, and been absolutely merciless:

Other chains have been trying to weasel in on the sandwich beef (sandwich ... chicken?) including Wendy’s, Shake Shack, Church’s and Bojangles.
