We tried the best fried chicken sandwich in New York City next to KFC - here's who does it better

When one of New York City's favorite restaurateurs and chefs, David Chang, opened the first Fuku restaurant in 2015, it was an ode to Chang's favorite childhood food: fried chicken. Having grown up on Chick-fil-A in the suburbs of Virginia, Chang described Fuku as "our attempt to ... honor the great fried-chicken places and fast-food concepts out there ... and hopefully, to make it better."

The fried chicken shop has been widely popular, but how does their high-end sandwich stack up to the classic fast food it was inspired by? We called on our in-house fast food experts to do a blind taste test, and the results are in.

Below, see our comparison of Fuku's spicy fried chicken sandwich and KFC's Chicken Little combo. They both consist of fried chicken served between two buns with pickles, plus one or two condiments to add some extra flavor.
