Sorry gents, no Mook approved paper plates on hand for this review.

Upon removing from the bag, you immediately smell all the spicy goodness, theres no denying some form of heat is waiting for you. The kind of heat you get on breezy July night. Getting this out of the way first, Arbys continues to have the best fast food fries in the game, fight me. Anyway...

The in the box presentation isnt great but that will come down to your individual establishment. Mine was a bit of a mess but I was able to remove it with minimal effort and minimal spillage. The smells continue to improve once the lid is popped and the sandwich can breath. I was lucky enough to have some of the breading (seen in the front left portion of the sandwich) detach and be consumable on its own. It was delicious...which gave me hope.

Once on the plate, I cut in half to see the layers and was impressed. They were well defined and had a nice look to them. Chicken is a bit thin but thats ok. Time to test. First bite, hey, this aint half bad. Second bite, theres actually some heat to this. 3rd bite, well it passed the runny nose test. Final bite of portion one (the facing up one) and



FINALLY, a fucking fast food chicken sandwich with actual mother fucking heat. I would say for this one, it was a nice 5.5, bordering on a 6. You could taste the heat and it lingered after each bite. My nose was runny and everything worked in perfect harmony. The chicken was juicy, and while I would have liked some more height to it, it was solid, as was the delicious breading.

On to the second side. This was a bit dryer (oddly enough) and not as good as the first half. Again, chalk this up to the quality control of your Arbys, but it was still good. Next time, not cutting anything.

I gotta give it to the bun, that was damn good. I found myself trying to find spots where I could eat just that. And the pickles were actually worthwhile too. Lettuce, as usual, completely worthless.

Now, is it better than Popeyes? Its 100% better than Popeyes 2022 and I would say it can hang with Popeyes 2021 or cross the line at the same time. The ONLY thing Popeyes spicy chicken has over this is the portion size. You cant beat that thick piece of chicken you get. But.....we might have a new king in the running. Popeyes definitely cant compete with that Arbys fire. I need to try a second one to see if it was a fluke.

Also, its been maybe 10 minutes since I finished and I still have some nice heat still on the lips. THAT, ladies and gents, is how you know a sandwich actually has fire and was just a label.
