2019 was the Year of the "Chicken Wars"
2019 has been a big year for fast-food chicken, with the “chicken wars” turning from mild to spicy.
The fried chicken market used to be dominated by Kentucky Fried Chicken (YUM - Free Report) , but thanks to comparatively low prices to beef over the years and changing consumer taste, a fried chicken sandwich has become the go-to menu item for fast food giants.
Restaurant Brands (QSR - Free Report) Popeye’s famously rolled out its Fried Chicken Sandwich this year to big buzz and long customer lines just to snag one. The company sold about 1,000 sandwiches a day before running out. Then there’s Chick-Fil-A, which is now the third largest restaurant chain in America behind McDonald’s (MCD - Free Report) and Starbucks (SBUX - Free Report) . Chick-Fil-A’s original chicken sandwich is one of the most popular fast-food menu items in the U.S.
Speaking of McDonald’s, the restaurant chain has begun to revamp its own chicken offerings; its new Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Biscuit is being tested right now. Analysts are already giving the thumps up. There’s also Wendy’s (WEN - Free Report) , which has seen success with its chicken sandwich and popular spicy nuggets, and fast-casual chain Shake Shack (SHAK - Free Report) has the Chick’n Shack.
