KFC is losing ground to Popeyes, according to a Barclays report.
KFC and Popeyes are both logging more than $5 billion a year in sales, according to Technomic's latest Top 500 report.
But Popeyes, which is expanding rapidly across the US, is selling food with fewer locations in the US compared to KFC, according to Technomic.
I tried the same items found at each brand's menu: Fried chicken, chicken tenders, and a classic fried chicken sandwich.
The chicken served at KFC was so greasy, I had to take Tums to relieve my indigestion.
