Should've done the McCrispy sandwich instead of the McChicken probably is just as bad but I feel like that's more of the kind of chicken sandwich you're going for
Exactly! My town’s Wendy’s SUCKS, and my friend in Illinois manages a Wendy’s and it’s IMMACULATE, he’s gotten praise on basically every inspection he’s gotten and has a near perfect review score on google
Arby's is my favorite example of what you just said. Go to a bad one and you'll end up with raw chicken snd food poisoning, a good one and it's really good.
As Mexican who lived in Hawaii and having tried all the U.S. Fast food restaurants, Jollibee is by far my favorite place for chicken sandwiches. Best chicken by far, crispy and very moist. Now I live in Mexico but no Jollibee here 😭😭
@@rantlyyHe never said that Jollibee was American. He simply stated that he tried all the fast food restaurants in the US. If you wanna hate on Americans, at least do it correctly
All I learned from this chicken sandwich review is that a lot of fast food managers don't make sure the fry oil is getting changed. Edit: I'll reply to all the comments about why this happens all at once. In my experience the equipment for filtering and changing is a pain to use and clean so nobody wants to filter and especially nobody wants to scrub or soak the fryer before adding the new oil which ruins the new oil faster. Also yes budget can come into it.
@@yotambraunshtein9786 While yes, that is a reason, it's not the biggest reason. It takes a lot of effort to change oil, AND it can be a fucking mess. Most people I've met that take too long to do it don't want to do it and wait as long as they can.
My wife just bought me both of your cookbooks for my birthday and I'm hyped. I'm currently in the process of reading through your first one, and just got through the stocks and broths section. Extremely well written and lives up to the hype. Huge thank you to my wife for buying them for me, and an equally huge thank you to you for writing them Josh.
I think what set jollibees chicken sandwich apart isn’t necessarily the flavor but just how well it was made and also the bun to chicken ratio was also the best in my opinion. Ive never had a dry jollibee chicken sandwich so i think tge rating was well deserved
I wasn’t even surprise Jolibee won, the first time I ever tried their spicy chicken burger, I was convinced it was the best chicken burger I ever had and I crave it every week I swear
@@willsoemy cousin moved to the UK (we are from the Philippines) and he and his wife said that a lot of items there tasted and looked different from what is served back home. I guess the store had to adhere to UK food standards.
Mcdonalds has a "premium" chicken sandwich. Kind of unfair to get the dollar menu chicken sandwich instead when you are getting premium chicken sandwiches from other places that are charging $6+ for one sandwich.
honestly what I thought. like thats not the only chicken sandwich hello??? I work at McDonalds, and because we don't sell a lot of the McChickens, they tend to dry out easily in the warmer treys so they're not all that good.. plus, they are just chicken patties, not chucken breasts like the McCrispy... also..... "they smell just like their burgers: like Mayonnaise" my dude we don't put Mayo on our burgers unless you ask 🤣the only burger that has mayo by default is the daily double and most people don't even know that exists.
I used to have Bojangles on vacations to the SC and Georgia coast as a kid. I live on the other side of the country now and still think about that chicken😭
@@misterhat5823 more like? "You struck gimmick with this series" ???? You did it wrong I think you're trying to say this has been a series with many tubers and he didn't "struck" anything. He used a tried and true formula, and it still works because it's fun to compare different opinions
i lived in nc for most of my childhood and was rooting for bojangles after it was ranked and i was honestly hoping they didn’t include jollibee because it’s that’s good. i highly recommend you give it a shot if you are ever near one!
i ate alot of joilibee when i visited the philippines.its good,try the chicken,the champ burger,halo halo and there spaghetti.the spaghetti is diff and it is really sweet but you will get used to filipino taste.
So as a person who's eaten a lot of friend chicken and who also has an extremely refined palate, I can truly say that Jollibee (specifically the hot) is the best fried chicken I've ever eaten non-homemade by a mile! I used to love chick fil a till I had Dave's and I loved Dave's until I had bojanles. But once I had Jollibee I will never, ever go back to a Popeyes, KFC, or Churches ever again! I remember the 1st time I had Jollibee I was driving by and was like "what's this place?" I had my wife go through the drive through and I was appalled by the prices. I ordered 1 spicy leg it was like $4-5!!! I was complaining and grumpy the entire time. I took 1 bite and made her go back though the drive through again and bought an entire 10 piece bucket. It was the greatest hidden gem I've ever discovered. The only down side is the price. It's hella expensive and truly not affordable by the average person. I don't even eat fast food anymore (due to health reasons) but I still allow myself to have spicy Jollibee chicken once every month. I honestly wasn't that impressed by their chicken sandwich specifically, but you owe to yourself to try their spicy chicken, and be warned, it's extremely hot, just like I like it!
Yes but I'm guessing that like here in France, you will have a million kebab type places with each their own Chicken burger :) BTW in Berlin, you can find great Greek pita.
@@joaquingimenez222I mean, why would you be happy for having KFC? We have it where I’m from and I have been there three times my whole life, and the last time I ate there they gave me a chicken sandwich that was both burnt AND frozen at the same time lmaooo
i can’t believe i almost forgot about the Jolibee chicken sandwich until Josh brought it up at the end of the video. the first time i had it, i was in awe

Fast food is americas contribution in thr food world. America doesnt have real food or original food, like asian countries or european cooking like french or italian.
For the McDonalds review, I think it would have been more fair if you got the McCrispy, the McChicken is literally just there for people who are looking for something cheap and filling. The McCrispy is more of a chicken type sandwich, though it usually is pretty stringy but it would have gotten a higher rating I feel.
Everytime Ive been in a CFA line thats 20+ cars deep im in and out in under 10 minutes where as a McDonalds or anyother place 10 cars deep youll be there for 25-40 minutes
Jollibee is the GOAT of fried chicken. Every time I go the line is around the block from open to close, it's actually as close as you can get to food crack. 😍
We’re lucky to live near Jollibee. Their spicy chicken sandwich has fresh jalapeños instead of pickles. So you get that crunch like a pickle, but it kicks up the spice a bit. Then they put sriracha mayo on it. It is hands down the best chicken sandwich. Then you can get their adobo rice. The fried pies are incredible with the mango or the pineapple. Also if you get the chicken joy they only do dark meat. Such an underrated Chicken place.

Ever since I ate Jollibee's chicken sandwich, my standards for chicken sandwiches has been so high lmao. Aint nothing beating that big fat juicy & spicy chicken from Jollibee
I worked at Carl’s Jr., the chicken is battered fresh, buttermilk then dry mix, then fried, I can already tell you didn’t get a fresh sandwhich because of how fast it is, if you get a fresh sandwhich from Carls, you’re gonna wait about 5-6 minutes, the chicken takes 4 minutes to fry at a time.
A fresh Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is easily the best chicken sandwich. I’ve been too Popeyes around 10 times and the most recent time it was perfectly fresh. It might have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten
You haven't eaten anything good if a fast food chicken sandwich is the best thing you've ever eaten lol, anything that's homemade or even made fresh in a restaurant will beat any food in a fast food place
I literally ordered a Popeyes chicken sandwich yesterday and it was smaller than my palm. I paid $7 for a chicken sandwich SMALLER than my palm. It was almost the size of those salty biscuits they throw in. I genuinely feel like I got scammed. From this day on, I'll be making my own sandwiches.
@@zee-ws8px 💀💀 what is the rating at that location cuz that’s diabolical. Like most fast food joints certain franchises within a company have COMPLETELY different standards unfortunately. You just have to find the right locations.
consistency is key i think. regardless of whether people agree with their ratings, you can see a consistent trend in how they grade each sandwich throughout each drive-thru visit
Honestly, Christian can give like a polar opposite review and still scores it within .5 range of the other guys. It makes it kinda pointless to have two people reviewing it at that point 😂
Jollibee’s spicy chicken sandwich really surprised me, everything they said in the video is true about the regular sandwich. BUT the spicy comes with fresh jalapeños in addition to the usually spicy mayo, which just makes it so unique and delicious
Was just saying this! The spicy version is out of this world. They season the chicken thigh patty with loads of spice and it’s 10x better than the regular one.
I worked at BK handbreading them, they was a pain in the ass to make, had there own station they got ass messey as you'd think for bunch un professional people try to try too work it, so they got rid of it only because of the mess sadly
It seems like we have fewer options than the US but we deffo have more than 5! There’s maccas, kfc, hungry jacks, oporto, red rooster, el jannah, ribs & burgers, broaster chicken, grill’d, betty’s burgers, nando’s, chicken treat, nene chicken, carl’s jr, five guys…
@@kuchen_ Half of those aren't viable options for many people though. Five Guys only has 3 locations in the country with 2 in NSW with Sydney and Penrith, and the other one is in Melbourne. Ribs & Burgers only have 11 locations in NSW all localised in Sydney, 8 within the heart of the city itself with only 3 out in the Western Suburbs of Stanhope, Bella Vista and Gregory Hills. There are only 6 locations outside NSW with 3 in VIC, 2 in QLD and just 1 in WA. Chicken Treat is a WA franchise with just two stores in NSW both in the Sydney area. El Jannah is mostly just in the Sydney area with 16 active stores with a few more coming soon, there's only one NSW store outside of Sydney which is coming soon in Albion Park. Outside NSW there's only 5 (soon 6) stores in VIC and 1 in ACT, and that's it. Broaster Chicken is also pretty much just NSW based around Sydney too with 1 store in Newcastle and 1 in Wollongong. There's also currently just 2 stores in VIC, 1 store in ACT and 1 in WA. Nene Chicken is mostly in VIC with 5 stores in NSW all around Sydney, 5 in WA, 1 in QLD, 1 in NT and 1 in ACT. Carl Jr's is also only in VIC, QLD, SA and NSW. In SA and NSW there's only 7 stores each, and in NSW there's only 2 within the Sydney area both of which are in Western Sydney being in Bringelly (been to this one a few times myself, it's not bad especially with the free drink refills when inside) and Wetherill Park.
For me the formula years ago was 5 ketchup packets, two mayo and one hot sauce for the sandwich and for a large fries. When Heinz came out with those huge packets, then it was two of those. Can't go wrong.
Now i'm sad cause folks gonna go in line for the Jollibee Chicken sandwich and thus it'll sold out quickly... Nooo, my hidden gem. But anyway, they deserve the recognition. Their chicken sandwiches are the BOMB, especially the spicy one. 😋
The thing about Jollibee when it comes to chicken manu. They perfected it. The joice, the crunch, the flavor. Just top tier. I even ask gravy for my sandwich...
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
Fast food chains vary a lot from country to country, but I'd say in Europe too Jollybees tends to have the best fried chicken (way better than KFC, Popeyes, Burger King and McDonalds).
That’s the Jollibee I frequent! Been trying to tell everyone that Jollibee’a chicken sandwich is criminally underrated! Here’s a next level tip: get some gravy and dip the sandwich in the gravy. 🤯
I definitely think you should have requested the "spicy" version of every chicken sandwich your tried (if available). You guys definitely gave points on the restaurants that only offered spicy sandwiches. And I can't stand ANY regular crispy chicken sandwich and yet I love spicy crispy sandwiches.

@@MikasaAckermann831especially since most fast food places have to appeal to the least common denominator, so “spicy” really just usually means “added spices and flavor”
to me it's the combination of things: excellent food (chicken sandwiches with their sauces, waffle fries and arguably the best sweet tea out there), fast service despite the long lines, and their reward system with lots of free food (both earned and "just because" free food from the franchise owners). It may not be the best tasting chicken sandwich out there, but for fast food, it's solid. For the record, of the top 9 listed in this video, I only have a Carls Jr (that score surprised me) and a Popeye's nearby, and my experience at Popeye's was horrible. I do like Bojangles though when I get chance to go @@aneesah4341
The last time I had one, it was great except it was dry, like cooked 3 weeks ago and allowed to sit out dry. It made me cry on the inside. (but it was probably the city, because that place is a dump...) That said, I'd give it another shot in a better place.
Jolibee is underrated as hell and it still comes in with the W. I probably can't see any other fast food restaurants that can compete with jolibee's quality.
@@LeftforDeadZombie You could put it that way. You could also call it a they problem as there is only four in the entire state (a large and very populous one, not a wasteland). California is the only state they have a somewhat large presence in. Everything else on the list I could go to except for Carls but we do have Hardees. Dave's would be a bit of a drive but closer.
I wish I had Jollibee near me, but I have a few dave's locations near me and I'd personally give it a far higher score than they did in the video (I usually order the extra hot)
I've already ate the chicken sandwich of Jollibee everytime I go there though I'm surprised about the amount of time for you guys to be finished cooking that chicken cuz everytime I order it, they always say it will take 15mins to be prep and only shortest one is about 5mins (dine-in btw) but I let them cooked and never disappoint me. LET'S GO JOLLIBEE
@@tediibilog I mean it does vary, I waited 15mins and then waited 5mins cuz the chicken is just so hot that I burned my tongue and the juices is just makes me water more cuz I just wanna eat it but it's too hot.
Yea the first time I went to Jollibee, it took them 30 mins for a chicken sandwich????? 30 mins? and dropped my fries too, horrible eating experience, never been back since.
mcdonalds old version of the McCrispy, the southern style chicken sandwich was LIGHTYEARS better than the McCrispy and by far the closest to a Chick fil a sandwich they ever had and not a day goes by that im not angry that they dont serve it anymore, huge L for mcdonalds
made me wait the whole video just to get to jollibee but that's riiiiiight absolutely deserved!! as someone who works at one of their branches and prepares the sandwiches it is by far one of my favourites on the menu and knowing it's ranked nr 1 here makes me so so happy
Agree with many that at some locations you did not have fried chicken sandwiches, you had chicken patty's - BK and McD come to mind. BK has the Royal Crispy and McD has the McCrispy - Both are vastly superior to the patty sandiwches you had.
Thank you SO MUCH for including the southeast's Bojangles in this!!!!! It's one of my favorite fast food spots, and finally seeing it included in something makes my heart so dang happy!
Jollibee deserves all the credits it can get. I rarely go to Fast Food chains but Jollibee's chicken and chicken sandwich is so good. Spaghetti and rice is a nice side too.
@@slee2695you are such bs.youve never tried Jollibee in PH.. actually you may have never tried Jollibee at all..Lol.. they dont put banana ketchup on the burgers or chicken sandwiches, they have different sauces for those 😆
As a former KFC managing partner, if you find the right restaurant with the right leadership, a freshly prepared spicy chicken sandwich at 1030 in the morning is hard to beat! But like you said, it has to be fresh oil and freshly cooked. Hit me up if you want to do a fresh chicken sandwich duel!
The “commercial fried oil bitterness” is a practice in many restaurants to use what they call “seasoned” oil, which they believe is packed with flavors. Another term for this is simply “old oil.” There are some benefits to using lightly “seasoned” (i.e., not too old) oil, but there is a point where the oil quickly becomes too stressed from high temperatures, has been used for too many different foods, and might even be starting to go rancid.
When they mentioned the old fry oil on the DQ sandwich, I had to agree with it. I worked at a DQ for a while, and if you got there later in the day they did not switch out the oil, it was definitely old.
I love how high Bojangles scored, i lived in the south and a lot of the fast-food chains aren't around here but Bojangles? Making chicken sandwiches was one of their best decisions ever I love them
I mean, it is technically a terrible sandwich in every way. But there is something about certain low quality food items that I just love LOL! Like, my favorite pizza is Little Caesars. Even though I can clearly taste that the quality is much lower than other places. For some reason I just like it better. There are also lots of really high-quality foods that I can't stand. But, I'm weird. It's probably just because I grew up on eating food from cans, boxes, and fast food LOL!
Sometimes you gotta navigate at these places to get it done, better. Otherwise its a mess, and might be hit or miss. When thry said plain, that usually means patty and bread...so, some fault is in ordering.
Wrong way of thinking. Things shouldn’t be given a higher score or even a passing grade because it’s cheap. If anything it should tell you it’s not real meat and should be avoided.
I’m not surprised by the outcome! Jollibee has and will always be considered an underdog in the fast food business but will exceed expectations at all costs!
I was hesitant of trying Jollibee's chicken sando at first because it was a lot more expensive than their other stuff but when I tried it for the first time I was hit with a realization. It's soooo worth it. I'm glad you got to try it and even rated it high too. Jollibee ftw!

The McCrispy at Mcdonalds and Ch'king at burger king are both pretty solid actually. Much better than the mcchicken and original chicken sandwich. I always thought the long chicken sandwich at burger king was nasty. Tastes like fish to me maybe it's the oil like you said.
Unfortunately BK discontinued the Ch'king about a year ago. The spicy one was tremendous with that nashville hot style glaze. Their new one is not near as good, in fact probably worse than their chicken sandwiches prior to the Ch'king days.
@@TonyEvers-bucksin6 That's interesting. Wonder why it got discontinued. Seems like chicken sandwiches became one of the hot items at fastfood spots after the whole Popeyes craze a few years ago.
I’m surprised your Popeyes Chicken Sandwich was so small. All the ones I’ve had were pretty thick & juicy, though some were lacking on the sauce and one had too much to the point it was too salty
The one major criticism I've had of Popeyes is that their consistency is pretty meh (and their buildings typically look like I would not want to be there late at night...). Honestly, if I see a popeyes and almost any other fast food restaurant (and I'm on the road), I'd take popeyes over it if I want a chicken sandwich (never had Jollibees... which I will be rectifying soon!). As an aside, I just don't understand some of the rankings. I've had a lot of these (some more than I want to admit) and some of them are just not that bad. McD's McChicken isn't so bad (it's not good... let's not mix words). Like, Burger King and the McChicken shouldn't even be close. That thing is a broken condom (technically, the broken condom probably has more sauce). I don't get the Carl's Jr love. The last one I had tasted like a Chickfila ripoff.

@@descendency Popeyes has the best fast food chicken sandwich out of all the places I have tried, by far. That said some others were really close. I've had the Arby's one and was surprised at how good it was, although mine was a bit dry like in this video, the flavor was surprisingly good, it was like 7/10 of what Popeyes is most of the time, which was unlikely.
@@escapetherace1943 Yeah Popeyes is by far the best for fried chicken sandwich (or just plain fried chicken), Jollibees is totally average. Chick fil-a is 2nd. I was not impressed by his burger reviews either.
Working at chick-fil-a, I feel as if people like us because of how many locations there are, and how consistent the service and food is across all locations.
I know exactly how my chicken sandwich is going to taste each and every time and I've only had it where the chicken was dry twice. Add some honey mustard sauce and it's one big chicken nugget. It's not as good as Popeyes but, Popeyes is very inconsistent and their service is terrible. I once waited over 20 minutes, after ordering, and all I ordered was a 3 piece dark chicken, fries and drink. Everybody was waiting and they're wasn't really a lot of people in the store, maybe 12 - 15 so there's no excuse.
this is coming in late but josh's spicy chicken sandwich from his cookbook in on another level. Even without making the buns it was a fantastic recipe! GET THE COOKBOOK!!!!
Yep, I have to agree. The bee’s chicken sandwich highlights the chicken itself. As I’ve mentioned before that Filipino taste focuses more on local herbs and spices native to the islands. Filipinos do not often use imported spices. Big reason why you won’t find a lot of veggies or a thick sauce in that sandwich.
Jollibee winning is actually funny. My bf swears it’s the worst chicken sandwich he’s had, but that might really just be chalked up to the individual stores lmao
I think part of reason people love chick fil a is because the chicken is breaded in house so it actually tastes like fried chicken. I used to work there in college so I should know lol. It’s hit or miss though if the breading station worker knows what he’s doing Also Josh you can order a “well done” chicken filet that’s cooked an extra 45 seconds in the fryer. They come out super crispy but not dry if done right
Chick fil a is probably the most over hyped place on the planet. The food is average and the long ass wait times. Only eat there when the fans in the group demand it....
@@donaldexley1852 depends on location. Local locations for me have 20-30 cars in drive thru and I'm in and out in 5 minutes. They are faster than every other single fast food place I've been to in the entire 757. There is no comparison.
Joshua, I just found your videos recently, and I bought your new cookbook. I bought it because my wife is obsessed with textures in food so I thought it would be perfect. I have only made one recipe so far but it was truly AMAZING!
I love that you’re calling out all these crappy fast food places! Their quality has gone down hill. Great video. I personally love shake shacks chicken sandwich
The Jollibee is a shocker though, as a Filipino I have never eaten their chicken sandwiches for most of my life until they released one just a couple of years before. Yup, this was just a new regular item on a Jollibee menu, and they nailed it. Dayum! Thanks Josh.
I remember the line on the my local Jollibee drive thru when that chicken burger was released 😭 causes a traffic jam going to my house. I get it any chance I get, it’s always bomb af. So glad Josh loves it!

Should've done the McCrispy sandwich instead of the McChicken probably is just as bad but I feel like that's more of the kind of chicken sandwich you're going for
To be fair the McChicken has been around longer and is one of their iconic menu items
I was thinking the same thing. The McCrispy would have been a better comparison option.
Was thinking the same thing. Apples and oranges. McCrispy and ChicKing should have been tested.
honestly, for the price, it's arguably worse. they charge you a premium for garbage that isn't even better. at least a McChicken is cheap and fast.

Weird, we just had a few jollibee open up in the UK and it's total dogshit, worst fried chicken on the high street.

Oh I am so happy Jolibee won, they do great chicken.
@@willsoeprobably because its a UK location
@@willsoemy cousin moved to the UK (we are from the Philippines) and he and his wife said that a lot of items there tasted and looked different from what is served back home. I guess the store had to adhere to UK food standards.
Mcdonalds has a "premium" chicken sandwich. Kind of unfair to get the dollar menu chicken sandwich instead when you are getting premium chicken sandwiches from other places that are charging $6+ for one sandwich.
I agree, those premiums at Mdz are pretty good I think they were better than chik fil a.
@billvrg1242 so buy the one thats a premium chicken sandwich not the cheap one??? crispy chicken sandwich is 10 levels above the mcchicken
I never even seen it in the menu sorry
honestly what I thought. like thats not the only chicken sandwich hello??? I work at McDonalds, and because we don't sell a lot of the McChickens, they tend to dry out easily in the warmer treys so they're not all that good.. plus, they are just chicken patties, not chucken breasts like the McCrispy... also..... "they smell just like their burgers: like Mayonnaise" my dude we don't put Mayo on our burgers unless you ask 🤣the only burger that has mayo by default is the daily double and most people don't even know that exists.
@@beadreacts go try one right now
As someone from NC it feels good to see Bojangles ranking so high up.
I think he should try Smithfield's Chicken if he ever ends up in NC. No sauce though (but he could add Red Sauce).
Everytime I (in the upper Midwest) go back home to visit my parents in SC, the FIRST place I hit is Bojangles so I can be in chicken heaven!!
As a fellow North Carolinian, give hardees breakfast a try next time, I think it's better than Bo n cheaper fs. Bo still rocks regular food though
NC 🫡 Especially Greensboro.
I used to have Bojangles on vacations to the SC and Georgia coast as a kid. I live on the other side of the country now and still think about that chicken😭

You did it wrong
I think you're trying to say this has been a series with many tubers and he didn't "struck" anything.
He used a tried and true formula, and it still works because it's fun to compare different opinions
As a North Carolinian, I’m proud of Bojangles pulling out the number 2 spot but now I wanna go get some Jollibees if it can beat Bojangles!
i lived in nc for most of my childhood and was rooting for bojangles after it was ranked and i was honestly hoping they didn’t include jollibee because it’s that’s good. i highly recommend you give it a shot if you are ever near one!
It's the underdog where I live because we have Popeyes and raising Cain's with a mile of it
Anyone who can beat Bojangles is definitely a must try. Jollibees is definitely a must try if it can beat Bojangles.
i ate alot of joilibee when i visited the philippines.its good,try the chicken,the champ burger,halo halo and there spaghetti.the spaghetti is diff and it is really sweet but you will get used to filipino taste.
So as a person who's eaten a lot of friend chicken and who also has an extremely refined palate, I can truly say that Jollibee (specifically the hot) is the best fried chicken I've ever eaten non-homemade by a mile!
I used to love chick fil a till I had Dave's and I loved Dave's until I had bojanles. But once I had Jollibee I will never, ever go back to a Popeyes, KFC, or Churches ever again! I remember the 1st time I had Jollibee I was driving by and was like "what's this place?" I had my wife go through the drive through and I was appalled by the prices. I ordered 1 spicy leg it was like $4-5!!! I was complaining and grumpy the entire time. I took 1 bite and made her go back though the drive through again and bought an entire 10 piece bucket.
It was the greatest hidden gem I've ever discovered. The only down side is the price. It's hella expensive and truly not affordable by the average person. I don't even eat fast food anymore (due to health reasons) but I still allow myself to have spicy Jollibee chicken once every month. I honestly wasn't that impressed by their chicken sandwich specifically, but you owe to yourself to try their spicy chicken, and be warned, it's extremely hot, just like I like it!
I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS. Thank you for crowning the right chain! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Was inspired to try Jollibee and was blown away. The juiciest, crispiest, most delicious fast food chicken sandwich I've ever tried.
I had it, was not brined, hardly any seasonings. Still good, but not even close to as good as popeyes.
@@burnertrump875 depends on what store you go to and thats the same with almost every store with very few exceptions like in n out

The chemistry between Josh and Christian is incredible, so fun to watch. Also, I'm shocked about the number of fast food chains in America.
what'll surprise you is that this is not even 10% of all the fast food chains in America.
And keep in mind, these are just the national chains and ones with "big cultural significance". It's not even 10% of fast foods that exist in the US.
This is why we're fat.
Fast food is americas contribution in thr food world.
America doesnt have real food or original food, like asian countries or european cooking like french or italian.
Josh and Christian deserve their own Netflix series going around the country, even the world, trying every food they can find
As a North Carolinian, I am proud of Weissman’s praise on Bojangles.

you order the wrong mcdonald’s sandwich and the wrong burger king sandwich
Josh was on the a Hot Dog is a sandwich podcast recently
For the McDonalds review, I think it would have been more fair if you got the McCrispy, the McChicken is literally just there for people who are looking for something cheap and filling. The McCrispy is more of a chicken type sandwich, though it usually is pretty stringy but it would have gotten a higher rating I feel.
Agreed. I was shocked they got the McChicken
A "chicken type sandwich"? So, it's not a real chicken sandwich.
It's more like a giant nugget lol.@@solkalibri1376
Same.
Agreed.
The way he said he'd come back to Chick-Fil-A when the line went down... I laughed so hard. At least around me it's never a short line.
and yet they're arguably the best in the game at keeping that line moving quickly - when I see a long line at CFA, it's not even a deterrent.
Never a short line BUT still the fastest moving line around lol
Everytime Ive been in a CFA line thats 20+ cars deep im in and out in under 10 minutes where as a McDonalds or anyother place 10 cars deep youll be there for 25-40 minutes
I’ve never liked chick fil a. Always tastes lukewarm cardboard to me
It is on Sunday.
Jollibee is the GOAT of fried chicken. Every time I go the line is around the block from open to close, it's actually as close as you can get to food crack. 😍
We’re lucky to live near Jollibee. Their spicy chicken sandwich has fresh jalapeños instead of pickles. So you get that crunch like a pickle, but it kicks up the spice a bit. Then they put sriracha mayo on it. It is hands down the best chicken sandwich. Then you can get their adobo rice. The fried pies are incredible with the mango or the pineapple. Also if you get the chicken joy they only do dark meat. Such an underrated Chicken place.
Shhhh dont hype it up too much. We dont our drive thru wait time @ Jollibee to increase lol
As a Filipino, this warms my heart. Glad you're enjoying it 👍
Am I the only one that absolutely hates fresh jalapeños? Pickled is 1000000x better. Fresh is disgusting.

15:23/66:12 new record
900.88
Elia: 600.900
I worked at Carl’s Jr., the chicken is battered fresh, buttermilk then dry mix, then fried, I can already tell you didn’t get a fresh sandwhich because of how fast it is, if you get a fresh sandwhich from Carls, you’re gonna wait about 5-6 minutes, the chicken takes 4 minutes to fry at a time.
Agree, I've always waited for chicken tenders and a chicken sandwich from Hardees(same as Carl's Jr here), and it's excellent if you get it fresh!
Carls Jr has gifted me with several heavenly chicken sandwiches in my days
do you guys get frozen buns? i delivered mbm foodservice to hardees 10 years ago and they got frozen buns for some of their fancy sandwiches
Yo so it's even better than the video?
Bacon Swiss was my fav for years.
A fresh Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is easily the best chicken sandwich. I’ve been too Popeyes around 10 times and the most recent time it was perfectly fresh. It might have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten
You haven't eaten anything good if a fast food chicken sandwich is the best thing you've ever eaten lol, anything that's homemade or even made fresh in a restaurant will beat any food in a fast food place
I literally ordered a Popeyes chicken sandwich yesterday and it was smaller than my palm. I paid $7 for a chicken sandwich SMALLER than my palm. It was almost the size of those salty biscuits they throw in. I genuinely feel like I got scammed. From this day on, I'll be making my own sandwiches.
@@zee-ws8px 💀💀 what is the rating at that location cuz that’s diabolical. Like most fast food joints certain franchises within a company have COMPLETELY different standards unfortunately. You just have to find the right locations.
These guys are tough raters, but I do appreciate the consistency in the rankings. Solid list.
consistency is key i think. regardless of whether people agree with their ratings, you can see a consistent trend in how they grade each sandwich throughout each drive-thru visit
Honestly, Christian can give like a polar opposite review and still scores it within .5 range of the other guys. It makes it kinda pointless to have two people reviewing it at that point 😂
What about max?
"everythings good but because there's no crunch imma fucking deduct it 5.2pts". Aight.

The story is that they have to taste test every fried chicken out there to perfect it in their own way
Tuna pie>
Jollibee’s spicy chicken sandwich really surprised me, everything they said in the video is true about the regular sandwich. BUT the spicy comes with fresh jalapeños in addition to the usually spicy mayo, which just makes it so unique and delicious
Had this the last week it was so good, the fresh jalapeños added a lot. Best chicken sandwich from fast food place I ever had.
Is the sandwich spicy because of the sauce or is the breading actually different like in their regular chicken?
Gonna try it today
Was just saying this! The spicy version is out of this world. They season the chicken thigh patty with loads of spice and it’s 10x better than the regular one.

As an Aussie, I wish I could understand even having more than 5 options to test out. Experiencing this video sounds fun
As a resident of NYC, I also cannot understand the number of options. I’ve never heard of most of these!
It seems like we have fewer options than the US but we deffo have more than 5! There’s maccas, kfc, hungry jacks, oporto, red rooster, el jannah, ribs & burgers, broaster chicken, grill’d, betty’s burgers, nando’s, chicken treat, nene chicken, carl’s jr, five guys…
@@ninadora1im in nyc and have heard of basically all of them lol
@@kuchen_ Half of those aren't viable options for many people though.
Five Guys only has 3 locations in the country with 2 in NSW with Sydney and Penrith, and the other one is in Melbourne.
Ribs & Burgers only have 11 locations in NSW all localised in Sydney, 8 within the heart of the city itself with only 3 out in the Western Suburbs of Stanhope, Bella Vista and Gregory Hills. There are only 6 locations outside NSW with 3 in VIC, 2 in QLD and just 1 in WA.
Chicken Treat is a WA franchise with just two stores in NSW both in the Sydney area.
El Jannah is mostly just in the Sydney area with 16 active stores with a few more coming soon, there's only one NSW store outside of Sydney which is coming soon in Albion Park. Outside NSW there's only 5 (soon 6) stores in VIC and 1 in ACT, and that's it.
Broaster Chicken is also pretty much just NSW based around Sydney too with 1 store in Newcastle and 1 in Wollongong. There's also currently just 2 stores in VIC, 1 store in ACT and 1 in WA.
Nene Chicken is mostly in VIC with 5 stores in NSW all around Sydney, 5 in WA, 1 in QLD, 1 in NT and 1 in ACT.
Carl Jr's is also only in VIC, QLD, SA and NSW. In SA and NSW there's only 7 stores each, and in NSW there's only 2 within the Sydney area both of which are in Western Sydney being in Bringelly (been to this one a few times myself, it's not bad especially with the free drink refills when inside) and Wetherill Park.
At least our Aussie KFC is actually good though and not like the abomination seen in this video, and we have Zinger Burgers.
The beauty of Chick-fil-a is consistency. It's never going to be a world beater, but its rarely a bad experience.
plus whatever kind of crack they put in there to make it so addictive. Damn it's 9AM and my mouth is watering.
For me the formula years ago was 5 ketchup packets, two mayo and one hot sauce for the sandwich and for a large fries. When Heinz came out with those huge packets, then it was two of those.
Can't go wrong.
To each their own but CFA is undefeated in my opinion.
i think their chicken sandwich is mad overrated, but their waffle fries will always be top tier
@@wifiguy51 The waffle fries are heaven
Josh: “sauce is hiding the problem, not elevating it.”
Also Josh: trashes sandwiches for not having sauce.

I don't get.... the fuss about chik fil a baffles me
to me it's the combination of things: excellent food (chicken sandwiches with their sauces, waffle fries and arguably the best sweet tea out there), fast service despite the long lines, and their reward system with lots of free food (both earned and "just because" free food from the franchise owners). It may not be the best tasting chicken sandwich out there, but for fast food, it's solid. For the record, of the top 9 listed in this video, I only have a Carls Jr (that score surprised me) and a Popeye's nearby, and my experience at Popeye's was horrible.

I've already ate the chicken sandwich of Jollibee everytime I go there though I'm surprised about the amount of time for you guys to be finished cooking that chicken cuz everytime I order it, they always say it will take 15mins to be prep and only shortest one is about 5mins (dine-in btw) but I let them cooked and never disappoint me. LET'S GO JOLLIBEE
Maybe it's being ordered often so they just keep frying it like chickenjoy but just enough that later customers won't get a cold chicken
@@tediibilog I mean it does vary, I waited 15mins and then waited 5mins cuz the chicken is just so hot that I burned my tongue and the juices is just makes me water more cuz I just wanna eat it but it's too hot.

@@Quixotic-IX yeah, and I'm just really shocked how fast Josh got theirs.
Yea the first time I went to Jollibee, it took them 30 mins for a chicken sandwich????? 30 mins? and dropped my fries too, horrible eating experience, never been back since.
You should’ve done the McCrispy chicken sandwich from McDonald’s not their mcchicken
Same with BK
they still suck tho so who cares, not like they had a chance against Popeyes or Jollibee
Should have done both
mcdonalds old version of the McCrispy, the southern style chicken sandwich was LIGHTYEARS better than the McCrispy and by far the closest to a Chick fil a sandwich they ever had and not a day goes by that im not angry that they dont serve it anymore, huge L for mcdonalds
Agreed. If they're evaluating the new wave of chicken sandwiches, then they f'd up here.
made me wait the whole video just to get to jollibee but that's riiiiiight absolutely deserved!! as someone who works at one of their branches and prepares the sandwiches it is by far one of my favourites on the menu and knowing it's ranked nr 1 here makes me so so happy
Vic has the hardest job in the world, sitting with them in car for ungodly amount of time right after they ate so many chicken sandwiches 😂
The farts in that car must have been atrocious. Our hearts go out to you, Vic.
Also the keep ordering two sandwiches, so no food for Vic, or maybe he gets the leftovers
Calling canes sauce average should come with a prison sentence
Jollibee prolly has some of the best chicken you could get from a fast-food place. It definitely deserves it's place on the leaderboard.
Agree with many that at some locations you did not have fried chicken sandwiches, you had chicken patty's - BK and McD come to mind. BK has the Royal Crispy and McD has the McCrispy - Both are vastly superior to the patty sandiwches you had.
Thank you SO MUCH for including the southeast's Bojangles in this!!!!! It's one of my favorite fast food spots, and finally seeing it included in something makes my heart so dang happy!
The biscuits.. I mean, they're crispy. Utter PERFECTION. ❤❤
Man, living in CA I'm feeling the jealousy right now. Next time I'm visiting my folks in FL maybe!
Wendy's WIN A BURGER BACONATER😂🤣😆😜 It did take a little long, but good 👍
Course Clear

LETS GOOO JOLLIBEEEEE! represent!
Jollibee deserves all the credits it can get. I rarely go to Fast Food chains but Jollibee's chicken and chicken sandwich is so good. Spaghetti and rice is a nice side too.
Jollibee in the philippines is disgusting though
@@slee2695worst take ever 💀
@@Endlock_ so is liking your own comment lmao
Dry ass chicken that needs gravy, spaghetti that tastes like baby food, burgers with more fillers than meat, banana ketchup
@@slee2695you are such bs.youve never tried Jollibee in PH.. actually you may have never tried Jollibee at all..Lol.. they dont put banana ketchup on the burgers or chicken sandwiches, they have different sauces for those 😆
As a former KFC managing partner, if you find the right restaurant with the right leadership, a freshly prepared spicy chicken sandwich at 1030 in the morning is hard to beat! But like you said, it has to be fresh oil and freshly cooked. Hit me up if you want to do a fresh chicken sandwich duel!
I was desperately looking for this comment. Thank you❤
The “commercial fried oil bitterness” is a practice in many restaurants to use what they call “seasoned” oil, which they believe is packed with flavors. Another term for this is simply “old oil.” There are some benefits to using lightly “seasoned” (i.e., not too old) oil, but there is a point where the oil quickly becomes too stressed from high temperatures, has been used for too many different foods, and might even be starting to go rancid.
I find it wonderful that you both mentioned the bitterness that fry oil takes on. Thank you Joshua.
When they mentioned the old fry oil on the DQ sandwich, I had to agree with it. I worked at a DQ for a while, and if you got there later in the day they did not switch out the oil, it was definitely old.
That's why I rarely order fries from fast food places, more often than not they'll come out bitter 🤢
I love how high Bojangles scored, i lived in the south and a lot of the fast-food chains aren't around here but Bojangles? Making chicken sandwiches was one of their best decisions ever I love them
Their bread complaints would have been addressed if they got the REAL Boj sandwich, the chicken filet biscuit. Just sayin.
@@Cap_Pig cajun fillet biscuit dipped in that gravy with some hash rounds on the side and a big ole sweet tea oh my gooooooooooooooood
Living in Atlanta, you can't drive a mile without a Chick-fil-A, but I prefer Bojangles. The Cajun Filet Biscuit with Borounds is the correct order
@@jessecail8182 ill have to try it out theres a bojanles right around the corner from my house lol
First attempt to order 2 chicken
I love chicken sandwiches so much that even a 3.5 from Josh means I’d probably like it. Hell, I even get a spicy McChicken every now and again.
Spicy McChicken hits. Many of the spicy variants of these sammies are so much better than the original.
I mean, it is technically a terrible sandwich in every way. But there is something about certain low quality food items that I just love LOL! Like, my favorite pizza is Little Caesars. Even though I can clearly taste that the quality is much lower than other places. For some reason I just like it better. There are also lots of really high-quality foods that I can't stand. But, I'm weird. It's probably just because I grew up on eating food from cans, boxes, and fast food LOL!
Sometimes you gotta navigate at these places to get it done, better.
Otherwise its a mess, and might be hit or miss.
When thry said plain, that usually means patty and bread...so, some fault is in ordering.
@@TheJokesterSCRlike when at a gas station, and without thinking of it you make in your stomach and Oberto Pepperoni n Twinkie Sandwich.
I stopped getting a McChicken when it's no longer on the dollar menu, it's just not worth it whatsoever. It was a life saver when I was in college
These two are entertaining AF. Loved the vid
Would you also want to include a price component on it? It will really put into perspective how much value they are adding in the food
I was thinking the same. Like a score / dollar ratio per restaurant.
I think just adding the price would be fine. But not to add it to the score. This is about flavor overall who cares about price it's fast food anyway.
Wrong way of thinking. Things shouldn’t be given a higher score or even a passing grade because it’s cheap. If anything it should tell you it’s not real meat and should be avoided.
Streetfoodaround here
@@FrankDux-uo7ig Not real meat? Gimme a break. None of the sandwiches here have fake meat.
Always good to see Zaxby’s be included in stuff like this.
I’m not surprised by the outcome! Jollibee has and will always be considered an underdog in the fast food business but will exceed expectations at all costs!
josh as colonel is something i never expected, but needed
I was hesitant of trying Jollibee's chicken sando at first because it was a lot more expensive than their other stuff but when I tried it for the first time I was hit with a realization. It's soooo worth it. I'm glad you got to try it and even rated it high too. Jollibee ftw!
Repent and obey Jesus, No hypocrites will enter the kingdom of God!! You can’t say you love Jesus and live in willful sin that’s playing the hypocrite and You will go to hell if you don’t repent and start obeying Jesus. Jesus says that most people go to hell!! Why? Because they believe they love Jesus but their lifestyle doesn’t show that they love Jesus
The McCrispy at Mcdonalds and Ch'king at burger king are both pretty solid actually. Much better than the mcchicken and original chicken sandwich. I always thought the long chicken sandwich at burger king was nasty. Tastes like fish to me maybe it's the oil like you said.
Unfortunately BK discontinued the Ch'king about a year ago. The spicy one was tremendous with that nashville hot style glaze. Their new one is not near as good, in fact probably worse than their chicken sandwiches prior to the Ch'king days.
@@TonyEvers-bucksin6 That's interesting. Wonder why it got discontinued. Seems like chicken sandwiches became one of the hot items at fastfood spots after the whole Popeyes craze a few years ago.
@@beauburris7739 According to BK it was too difficult to make and they wanted more focus on the Whopper.
NOW DO ALL THE SPICY VARIANTS! 😋
its the exact same thing just spicy lmao
Jollibee will definitely win the spicy variant, because it’s better than the regular one.
Yeah I think he’d be happier with a spicy chick fil a sandwich over the basic one.
12:50 AW USA vs Canada is wayyyy different... much better in Canada... sorry for tou guys 😢
7:55 As a former fastfood worker, If someone ever talked to me like that at a drive thru, I'd leave 😂
grow some thicker skin bro
@@poluticon nah drive thru worker is getting his throat punched for that
@@andy69696 you’d assault someone over something so trivial? You have serious issues.
I’m surprised your Popeyes Chicken Sandwich was so small. All the ones I’ve had were pretty thick & juicy, though some were lacking on the sauce and one had too much to the point it was too salty
The one major criticism I've had of Popeyes is that their consistency is pretty meh (and their buildings typically look like I would not want to be there late at night...).
Honestly, if I see a popeyes and almost any other fast food restaurant (and I'm on the road), I'd take popeyes over it if I want a chicken sandwich (never had Jollibees... which I will be rectifying soon!). As an aside, I just don't understand some of the rankings. I've had a lot of these (some more than I want to admit) and some of them are just not that bad. McD's McChicken isn't so bad (it's not good... let's not mix words). Like, Burger King and the McChicken shouldn't even be close. That thing is a broken condom (technically, the broken condom probably has more sauce).
I don't get the Carl's Jr love. The last one I had tasted like a Chickfila ripoff.

@@descendency Popeyes has the best fast food chicken sandwich out of all the places I have tried, by far. That said some others were really close. I've had the Arby's one and was surprised at how good it was, although mine was a bit dry like in this video, the flavor was surprisingly good, it was like 7/10 of what Popeyes is most of the time, which was unlikely.
@@escapetherace1943 Yeah Popeyes is by far the best for fried chicken sandwich (or just plain fried chicken), Jollibees is totally average. Chick fil-a is 2nd. I was not impressed by his burger reviews either.
@@burnertrump875😱😱😱horrible.
Working at chick-fil-a, I feel as if people like us because of how many locations there are, and how consistent the service and food is across all locations.
I know exactly how my chicken sandwich is going to taste each and every time and I've only had it where the chicken was dry twice. Add some honey mustard sauce and it's one big chicken nugget. It's not as good as Popeyes but, Popeyes is very inconsistent and their service is terrible. I once waited over 20 minutes, after ordering, and all I ordered was a 3 piece dark chicken, fries and drink. Everybody was waiting and they're wasn't really a lot of people in the store, maybe 12 - 15 so there's no excuse.
this is coming in late but josh's spicy chicken sandwich from his cookbook in on another level. Even without making the buns it was a fantastic recipe! GET THE COOKBOOK!!!!
With Jollibee, you wanna get a side of their gravy, and dunk the sandwich in it as you eat it - trust me - that makes it even better!
Yep, I have to agree. The bee’s chicken sandwich highlights the chicken itself. As I’ve mentioned before that Filipino taste focuses more on local herbs and spices native to the islands. Filipinos do not often use imported spices. Big reason why you won’t find a lot of veggies or a thick sauce in that sandwich.
Feed the cameraman
abt to say that lol
Maybe he doesn't like sheeeeet
He comes through our store often and he does feed him! :)
I noticed that once they ordered 3 sandwiches
I read this comment in Erik Salvia voice
5:30 Its a three tender sandwich!....its a TWO tender sandwich! 😂😂😂😂
Jollibee winning is actually funny. My bf swears it’s the worst chicken sandwich he’s had, but that might really just be chalked up to the individual stores lmao
Jolibee is VERY bland
@@privacyplease1556just like you are😂😂😂
I think that's true for most of these places.
The Worst?!! 😂
@@majz1806 peenoise detected
I think part of reason people love chick fil a is because the chicken is breaded in house so it actually tastes like fried chicken. I used to work there in college so I should know lol. It’s hit or miss though if the breading station worker knows what he’s doing
Also Josh you can order a “well done” chicken filet that’s cooked an extra 45 seconds in the fryer. They come out super crispy but not dry if done right
Chick fil a is probably the most over hyped place on the planet. The food is average and the long ass wait times. Only eat there when the fans in the group demand it....
@@donaldexley1852 depends on location. Local locations for me have 20-30 cars in drive thru and I'm in and out in 5 minutes. They are faster than every other single fast food place I've been to in the entire 757. There is no comparison.
@@donaldexley1852 completely disagree, it varies by location but they definitely depend on quality> corporation.
Zaxby’s always breads their chicken in house as well!
the look of the Jollibee chicken sandwich you guys had and the one we have here in PH, is IDENTICAL. sometimes the chicken is also bigger
In PH they put WAY too much of that sweet orange sauce on it, and it's thigh meat instead of breast. Still good tho.
As a fan of fried chicken sandwiches, i will enjoy this video with every single piece of my soul.
Joshua, I just found your videos recently, and I bought your new cookbook. I bought it because my wife is obsessed with textures in food so I thought it would be perfect. I have only made one recipe so far but it was truly AMAZING!
I love that you’re calling out all these crappy fast food places! Their quality has gone down hill. Great video. I personally love shake shacks chicken sandwich
The Jollibee is a shocker though, as a Filipino I have never eaten their chicken sandwiches for most of my life until they released one just a couple of years before. Yup, this was just a new regular item on a Jollibee menu, and they nailed it. Dayum! Thanks Josh.
Yeah, I'm really glad they decided to make it a regular item.
Jollibee is straight fire
The ones here suck, they should put reg spicy mayo or that yum sauce. NOT FUCKING HONEY MUSTARD! 😂
I remember the line on the my local Jollibee drive thru when that chicken burger was released 😭 causes a traffic jam going to my house. I get it any chance I get, it’s always bomb af. So glad Josh loves it!
Christian has become my favorite person on UA-cam
Should've done the spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's, honestly when it's fresh it's so bomb
Facts
The Asiago chicken sandwich smacks gotta be fresh though
I go right when lunch starts to guarantee a fresh one. If you hit it up at 3:00 it’s gonna suck
Ya I was disappointed with their take on Wendy’s. It’s a banger especially when the bogo coupon for it in the app drops.
