Chicken cutlet served in a bun

A fried chicken breast sandwich, also known as a chicken burger, is a chicken breast cutlet or filet, typically fried or grilled, served on a bun with similar condiments and toppings as on hamburgers: typically pickles and mayonnaise/butter, with the addition of lettuce, tomato, and often cheese for “deluxe” or upgraded versions.[1][2]

Chicken burgers are also made with ground chicken patty.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

Examples of Fried Chicken Breast Sandwiches from Western fast food restaurant chains, as seen from left such as; Chick-fil-A, KFC, PDQ, and Popeyes that are classic competitors in the chicken sandwich wars

Chick-fil-A claims that it invented the fried chicken sandwich in the 1940s. This claim is unsubstantiated, although the Chick-fil-A southern-style chicken sandwich (served with pickles on a steamed roll), introduced in 1964[9] on March 21, may have been the first chicken sandwich introduced by an American fast food restaurant chain.

The McChicken is a chicken sandwich with a fried chicken patty

Burger King introduced its grilled chicken burger in 1990, and was the first major fast-food chain to do so.[10] Other notable vendors of chicken sandwiches include Bojangles, Jollibee, McDonalds, KFC, Popeyes, Shake Shack, Wingstop, and Zaxbys. Today, most major fast food, fast casual and casual dining chains feature some variation of chicken sandwich, even at fast food restaurants where chicken is not a specialty.[11]

In recent years, chicken sandwiches have become increasingly popular as a healthier alternative to burgers made with red meat.[12] The ongoing competition for market share in the United States in fried chicken sandwich has demonstrably impacted the fast casual and quick-service restaurant industry.[13] This competition has coincided with a significant rise in the prevalence of fried chicken sandwiches on menus nationwide. As of 2024, 47% of restaurant menus feature fried chicken sandwich, compared to 41% for hamburgers. This represents a 10% increase for chicken sandwiches from 2020 to 2021. While hamburgers may still hold the overall popularity edge, the increasing presence of fried chicken sandwiches on menus suggests a growing consumer demand.[14]
