We all know that fast food is unhealthy, but there are some foods on the menu that you should never, ever order – and these are usually the options you wouldn’t expect.
Many people assume that chicken sandwiches are usually less unhealthy than burgers, since chicken is often more lean than red meat. But with fast food, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.
The truth is that chicken sandwiches can be even worse for you than some hamburgers, because they are usually fried. This makes them extremely fattening. And if there is one chicken sandwich you should never order again, it's the Popeye's Chicken Sandwich.
The Popeye's Chicken Sandwich is one of its most popular menu items because it really does taste great. But the ingredients that make it delicious also make it awful for your health. This sandwich is made from a marinated chicken breast fillet that is hand-battered and breaded in a buttermilk coating. Plus, it's topped with mayonnaise and served on a buttery brioche bun.
This deep-fried chicken sandwich is loaded with fat, thanks to the battering, frying, mayonnaise and brioche bun. A single serving of this sandwich has 42 grams of fat, 50 grams of carbs and 1,443 milligrams of sodium.
The ingredients in this sandwich are terrible for your health, and can even raise your risk of certain medical conditions, like stroke, heart disease and obesity.
