The Popeyes chicken sandwich is coming back and it's bringing lots of Chick-fil-A shade with it

Chick-fil-A stans, cover your eyes.

Chick-fil-A probably thought there'd been a cease fire in the Great Chicken Sandwich War of 2019, but now the fight is officially back on.

Popeyes announced on Monday via Twitter that, after two long months with no chicken sandwiches, they're bringing back their hit menu item on Sunday, November 3.

Judging by the short video they included, it's safe to say there's still no love lost between the fast food chicken titans, who got into a social media skirmish when Popeyes first launched its own chicken sandwich months ago. And if reactions are telling, the people are ready for its glorious return.
