2021 might be the official chicken sandwich wars among food chains that will unveil a chicken sandwich menu to offer their patrons and customers.
The latest on the list of the competitors is KFC announcing their new chicken sandwich that the brand itself coined as their "best ever" chicken sandwich on their menu.
In a report by Delish, the sandwich is following a successful test run down that happened in Florida in May 2020, making the chicken sandwich tried and true.
Yahoo! Life describes that the new KFC chicken sandwich is made with quarter-pound, all-white meat which was double breaded making the chicken fillet extra crispy.
They add that the fillet will be sandwiched by a toasted brioche bun topped with thicker crispy pickles, with either spicy or mayo as the sauce.
MSN notes that Kentucky Fried Chicken's Innovation team shares that they tested pickles with 8 different sizes and the brand had a collaboration with bakeries with more than 10 recipes for them to identify the right bun that will complement their thick and crispy chicken.
MSN notes that this kind of activity is what they call dedication. In October 2020, KFC added in their lineup of flavorful sauces a new dipping sauce that says "chicken dippin' good", a wordplay of their famous tagline for the brand's chicken.
