The KFC Chicken Sandwich is one of KFC’s most popular handheld meals. It’s built around a thick, double-breaded, all-white-meat chicken breast fillet (often described as about a quarter-pound), topped with dill pickles and Colonel’s mayo, served on a toasted brioche-style bun. A Spicy version swaps in KFC’s signature spicy sauce for extra heat.
