Get ready for finger-licking goodness! Monday, Nov. 9, is National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day, and restaurants are bringing out the deals.
National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day celebrates one of the most iconic Southern comfort foods in sandwich form.
Fried chicken sandwiches are so popular they've even sparked a war. In 2019, fast-food chains across the country feuded on social media, competing to see who could make the best chicken sandwich after Popeyes released its first-ever chicken sandwich.
Popeyes may have opened the floodgates, but fried chicken sandwiches' popularity would skyrocket for years. From 2019 to 2024, fried chicken sandwich consumption jumped 19% at American restaurants, while burger consumption dropped 3%, The Atlantic reported,
citing industry analysis firm Circana.
Restaurants and fast-food chains across the United States, from Popeyes to Buffalo Wild Wings, are rolling out deals to celebrate National Fried Chicken Day this year.
