Forget Popeyes and Chick-fil-A—the best “chicken” sandwich is a delicious one for which no one had to die. Expand beyond those basic, boring options and try something vegan! Lucky for y’all, we have some of the best vegan chicken sandwiches right here in a handy dandy list:
Hot Chik Sandwich From VEG’D
Costa Mesa, California

Charlie’s Chicken Sandwich From Monty’s Good Burger
Los Angeles

Wendy’s Pickle From Green New American Vegetarian
Phoenix
Green New American Vegetarian always holds it down with its staple “chicken” sandwich, the Wendy’s Pickle. But in light of the “great” chicken sandwich debate of 2019, the Phoenix-based restaurant proved that the throats of no sensitive, feeling animals should be slit for someone’s lunch. Check out its masterpiece, the Olive Oyl Chicken Sandwich, topped with fancy spicy pickles and mayo on an olive oil toasted bun.
OG Sando From Lettuce Feast
Los Angeles
Carrying the title of “OG,” you know this sandwich is legit. The “honey” mustard sauce is to die for, but thankfully, no chickens had to die for this.
Chik’N Head From Slutty Vegan
Atlanta
Slutty Vegan sandwiches ring bells throughout Atlanta and beyond. Topped with pickles, vegan ranch, and coleslaw on a Hawaiian bun, this sandwich leaves customers cursing out in enjoyment.
