Fast Food Chicken Sandwiches Ranked from Worst to Best

Wendy’s was founded in 1969 and became one of the biggest burger chains in the U.S., known for square patties, Frostys, fries, and a long-running spicy chicken sandwich. Chicken is more important here than at many burger chains, especially because of that spicy option.

It lands here because the sandwich is good, but inconsistent. At its best, the chicken has decent heat, crunch, and flavor, but it can also turn dry or flat depending on the location. Wendy’s does chicken better than many chains, but not quite at the top level.
