The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich: Chain announces official return date for sold-out item
The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich is back. The chicken chain has announced its official return date. Let the second-round of chicken wars begin.
Boston Market has thrown its name into the fast food chicken sandwich war with a sprinkle of Tennessee flavor.
The rotisserie-focused quick-service chain announced it has launched three new "Nashville Hot" menu items in a press release Monday.
Each menu item is chicken-based and will be available for a limited time.
Boston Market’s Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich includes a chicken breast fillet that is covered in Nashville hot sauce. The sandwich also includes a brioche bun, pickles and ranch dressing.

In recent years, fast food chains like Popeyes, KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Chick-fil-A have rushed to innovate their menus with spicy and crispy chicken sandwiches. And consumer reception, for the most part, has been positive.
Executives at Boston Market are reportedly confident with their seasonal offering, according to the company’s release.
