The NEW Popeyes Chicken Sandwiches release stirred up social media, news channels, and the people themselves as we all fled to the chicken shop to grab up this sandwich across the nation.

People from all over the world are comparing these chicken sandwiches to Chick-Fil-A, and other big chain restaurants, debating who has the best chicken sandwich. But who does? Check out our video to see our taste test and find out what we thought.

Since we got a chance to try it ourselves we found out the truth....

The Popeyes chicken sandwich is really good and everyone should try it. Especially if you like a spicy kick.

Being that you may not be able to get your hands on this at your local chain, we're very excited to give you our copycat recipe. Highly recommend you give this a try!!

Instructions:

1. Clean chicken and pound out thick cuts. I’d even pound out a bit more then shown in our video.
2. Combine buttermilk, hot sauce , and chicken in a bowl. Seal and place in the fridge overnight.
3. When ready to cook preheat fryer or oil to 365°F and oven to 350°F
4. Combine spice mixture, cut in half, and season the chicken with the spices (reserving the other 1/2 for step 6).
   
5. Whisk eggs, water, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
6. Combine flour, corn starch, baking soda, and other 1/2 of spice mixture. Place the mixture into a large paper bag, bowl, or breading machine. Add the chicken. Shake.
7. Dip into the egg mixture and then place back in the bag to double coat. Repeat to triple coat.
8. Place on a nonstick sheet and place in the refrigerator for an hour. (Drying the batter to make extra crispy.)
9. Carefully place one chicken into the deep fryer at a time, without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, turning the pieces if needed, for approximately 2 minutes. Bake for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature is to 165°F.
10. Build the sandwich toasted bottom bun, mayo, pickles, chicken, mayo, top bun.
