How many times have you found yourself pulling into Chick-fil-A on a Sunday morning (or afternoon) hungover and jonesin’ for a bite of the most delicious fast-food chicken ever created only to realize the damned place is closed for religious reasons? If you’re anything like me, it happens more than you’d probably care to admit.

Well worry no more fellow Chick-fil-A junkies. Somebody has stepped up to the plate to attempt a similar tasting chicken sandwich (and chicken biscuit) and that somebody is McDonald’s.

According to the St. Louis Business Journal, “Starting this week, McDonald’s will share a little bit of the Southern cuisine with customers nationwide and go head to head with Atlanta-based fast food giant Chick-fil-A Inc.”

I know what you’re thinking. Trust me, I do. I thought the same thing. “Does McDonald’s really expect to compete with something as delicious as Chick-fil-A chicken?” The answer is “hell yes.” And as surprised as I am to tell you this, I tried the new Southern Style Chicken Sandwich and it’s really, really close in both taste and texture. Like really close.

I have yet to try the Southern Style Chicken Biscuit which, in my opinion, will be the ultimate test as to whether or not McDonald’s stands any chance at all to gather some of the $2.64 billion that Chick-fil-A pulled in last year. I’m incredibly skeptical since the Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit is extremely high on my list of fast-food favorites, however, if Ronald’s version is only 60% as good, I’ll at least make it my new Sunday hangover breakfast.

If you’re as curious as I am about all this Southern Style biznass, you’re in luck because tomorrow (May 15), anyone who purchases a medium or large drink will receive a free Southern Style Chicken Biscuit (breakfast hours) or Chicken Sandwich (lunch/dinner). If you do, make sure you let me know what you think. Cool?
