We're living in the Golden Age of the chicken sandwich.
Chick-fil-A has transformed from a regional chain to a national chicken powerhouse, managing to lift annual sales by more than $1 billion in a year.
McDonald's completely overhauled its chicken sandwich, and Shake Shack unveiled one of the best sandwiches ever made in 2016.
David Chang fanned the flames with the chicken sandwich focused Fuku, the most hyped addition to the trendy Momofuku empire.
In light of this crispy golden renaissance, we decided to gather the chicken sandwiches from major fast-food chains and see which ones are worth it, and which ones are better left untouched.

For this taste-test showdown, we got sandwiches from seven major fast-food chains: McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Arby's, Dairy Queen, KFC, and Chick-fil-A.
First up: McDonald's. The recent revamp of their chicken sandwich brought some much needed change to the chain. The "Buttermilk Crispy Chicken" sandwich is indeed crispy — in fact, perhaps a little heavy on the breading.
The chicken is slightly on the dry side, but there is a definite hint of tangy buttermilk seasoning. Unfortunately, it often gets masked by a glob of mayonnaise — the usual for this sandwich based on our reviews before. The "artisan" bun does the job well, holding up to the heaping helping of mayo without getting too soggy.
