PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — A new fast food study from Richfield Research confirms what many Illinoisans might have guessed: Chick-fil-A is the king of chicken sandwiches.

According to the study, Illinois is not alone. Thirty other states ranked Chick-fil-A as the best place to get a chicken sandwich.


Popeyes and Wendy’s took silver and bronze, respectively.

Despite Illinois’ love for chicken sandwiches, the state isn’t even among the top five states. The top five are Florida, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.

On average, 14% of Americans eat a chicken sandwich at least once a week.

The full results of the study can be found below:

  • Illinois’ favorite fast-food chicken sandwich comes from Chick-fil-A, the preferred choice in 30 other states
  • Popeyes (21%) and Wendy’s (8%) follow CFA in second and third place, respectively.
  • More than 40% of Florida residents consume fast food chicken sandwiches weekly, the most of any U.S. state.
  • 43% of Americans admit to eating a fast food chicken sandwich once a month
