Here's how a Chick-fil-A classic stacks up against NYC's trendiest chicken sandwich

While the rest of America has known about the wonders of Chick-fil-A for some time now, the famed chicken chain only recently arrived on the shores of Manhattan.

For the past month or so, NYC has been in the midst of a chicken sandwich craze.

Long lines are still a daily occurrence at the new Chick-fil-A, but even before the store opened in October, the city was abuzz over the newest addition to restaurateur David Chang's Momofuku restaurant group.

Fuku has entered the fried chicken sandwich arena with its signature spicy chicken sandwich, and New Yorkers have been clamoring for it.

I decided to pitch the two against each other in a taste test to see if New York City's gourmet option has what it takes to keep up with Chick-fil-A's tried-and-true spicy offering.
