McDonald's offers early access to new chicken sandwich
A limited number of fans will also be able to obtain a hoodie and exclusive music track
Apparently, the chicken sandwich wars are still happening.
Ever since Popeyes debuted its new chicken sandwich nearly two years ago, almost every major fast-food chain has tried to get in the chicken-party. While Popeyes sandwich became a surprise hit in 2019, the other chains have yet to see the same level of success (the Popeyes sandwich was so popular that it sold out nationwide for several months).
