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.
