Popeye’s Chicken advertises the return of their popular chicken sandwich, July 18, 2021, in Mobile, Alabama. Popeye’s released the highly-anticipated chicken sandwich in August 2019, creating a frenzy among Americans who lined up at Popeye’s restaurants nationwide to get the limited item. Many restaurants, like this one, sold out within days. It also caused a viral Twitter spat between Popeye’s and Chick-fil-A, along with fights among customers in some locations. Americans ate 97.6 pounds of chicken per person in 2020, according to the National Chicken Council. That number is expected to increase to 98.1 pounds of chicken per person in 2021.
