The Methodology For This Chicken Sandwich Ranking Is Flawed, But Hilarious

An imprecise but entertaining process

The Wilson brothers evaluate the sandwiches on a scale from F to S tier, relying on their personal opinions and instincts. As you can imagine, consuming 21 chicken sandwiches in a single day is quite a challenge, and it may affect their judgment as they become increasingly full. By the end of the video, the brothers are visibly uncomfortable, and their voices seem to thicken with the weight of thousands of calories from breading, oil, and chicken. Nevertheless, Brian and Scott maintain their professionalism, striving not to let their looming digestive discomfort influence their rankings. In fact, it appears to enhance their appreciation for certain sandwiches. As Scott remarked about one S-tier sandwich, "There's nothing inside me that wants to eat another chicken sandwich, maybe ever again. And I couldn't even find fault in [this sandwich]."

They also consider more tangible factors when assessing the sandwiches. Both brothers get particularly enthusiastic when a sandwich includes "fixins" like lettuce and tomato, rather than just a few pickles and some mayonnaise, which they quickly grow tired of. Scott, in particular, has a peculiar fascination with whether the chicken has "threads"—fibrous pieces that he believes indicate it's genuine chicken. Their evaluation methods may be unconventional, but it's hard not to trust the Wilsons' conclusions after all the effort they put into their taste test.

It's about the journey, not the destination

The video primarily centers around ranking chicken sandwiches, but it’s filled with plenty of humorous moments along the way (including the two reviewers themselves). There are numerous comedic bits, such as one brother using a wooden spoon as a microphone and their decision to check their blood pressure midway through. Spoiler alert: eating a multitude of chicken sandwiches isn’t exactly a wise health choice. The reviews are also quite amusing, especially as Scott and Brian start to feel the effects of all the sodium. For instance, one F-tier sandwich is described as, "If you're not dead inside, you’ll want to eat somewhere else." Even if you’re not a chicken fan, the video is definitely worth watching just for the brothers’ dynamic and humor.

The Wilson brothers explore a wide range of chicken options, from well-known places like KFC to classic burger chains like Burger King, and even lesser-known spots like Jaggers, all while keeping the jokes flowing. If you’re curious about which fast food chicken sandwiches are worth your money or just need a good laugh, this video offers a funny and (relatively) informative experience.
