SAN ANTONIO – With all the buzz over Popeyes new chicken sandwich, people have been flocking to the chicken chain to try it. But with all the hype, people are reporting that Popeyes' supply isn't ready to meet the demand.
So, whose chicken sandwich is better? Chick-fil-A or Popeyes?
Twitter is atwitter over reports of Popeyes' restaurants running out of the sandwiches.
Popeyes launched the new sandwich more than a week ago, but the frenzy was fueled this week by a social media showdown between Popeyes and fast food rivals Chick-fil-A and Wendy's over who makes the best chicken sandwich.

1. How you gonna run out of your main ingredient? Maybe call yourself "Popeye's Chicken, Maybe".
2. You know who never runs out of chicken? Chick-fil-A.
