Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.
Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition “from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024,” the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.
First off, remember it’s fast food, standards are abysmal.
But it’s an actual piece of chicken, that’s actually prepared correctly.
If you got it in a sit down restaurant or even pub, you wouldn’t comment on it.
But compare it to any other chicken sandwich you could get from a drive thru in the last 20 years and the hype makes sense.
No matter where you are, if you see a chicfila you know you’ll get a decent chicken sandwich that isn’t ridiculously expensive.
A burger place isn’t going to do chicken as well as a dedicated chicken place, and KFC is a joke, so the only real competition for that niche is Popeyes on a national level.
I guess you can still call it good but they switched to Tyson on the East Coast like 10 years ago and yeah it’s bland and generic.
Dave’s Hot Chicken would like a word with you.
Well if there was one within a thousand miles of me Maybe it could
It’s also pretty expensive
Popeye’s is better. I’ve had Chick-fil-A once (bought for me) and it was exactly what it looked like: a chicken sandwich. It was a bit bland and watery.
Let me guess, someone bought it for you, let it sit in a bag for an hour, and then gave it to you…and you judge the entire franchise off this one experience
That’s a fucking weird guess. No. It was a client on site and Chick-fil-A was about 5 minutes gotten the road. It would be weird for my client to have ordered mine an hour before the fifteen people I was training.
My question is…why the fuck are you so defensive of a mediocre fast food chain?
Because it’s good chicken, and I think it’s hilarious that the groupthink has extended to where people are pretending it’s not, because that’s better politics.
Sorry but no, I’ve had a good amount of chicken sandwiches and it is decidedly mediocre and honestly no better than Wendy’s. You seem to think it’s not group think on the part of people raving about a mediocre chicken sandwich. That is a bit silly, don’t you think?
I recall asking why they thought it was so good and most of them said it was the sauces that you can get. I think one or two people mentioned the service. The sauces were okay but nothing special. I can’t comment on the service but that is not something I generally care about for fast food outside of making sure my order is right.
One thing I do like is that they have (the option of) whole grain buns… I’ve been unable to find that elsewhere.
If juicy=flavorful then sure, it’s flavorful. I look for more though.
