McDonald's Southern Chicken Sandwich was an attempt to copy the CFA chicken sandwich because it is so popular.
The part that freaked me out when I tried the McD's version (the breakfast chicken biscuit) was that it tasted like dill, even though there were no pickles. So not only do they use artificial pickle flavor instead of real pickles, but they're also too cheap to make a non-pickle version for breakfast. Wow.

"A lot of people really respect CFA for their values"
Great values. Unless you happen to be Jewish, or non-Christian (Hobby Lobby closes on Sundays, too); a lot of people out there do their shopping, and hence fast-food dining, on Sundays. And the two chicken sandwiches I tried (different locations, years apart) were chewy, gristly, and very greasy; basically inedible.

The values of creating a family day, etc., is different than the values of creating a fundamentalist homophobic organization that participates in religious discrimination. The restaurant exists "to glorify God" (in the words of its founder). They've also promoted religious groups via toys given out in the kids' meals. Christian prayers during training sessions? If you're a Muslim and don't want to participate, no franchise for you (and you'll be fired).
