They've sent an open letter to those other chicken sandwich makers saying, "You can't have a famous chicken sandwich without famous chicken." Boom! Fried.

2. And of course, their famous fried chicken is the star of this sandwich.

Those other chicken sandwiches better call their publicists.

It's made with Canadian farm-raised chicken. And everyone knows Canadian chickens are the best kind.

4. Those buns? Heavenly.

That's not a euphemism. Get your head out of the gutter.

5. You can get the sandwich with spicy mayo or without — and we do love options.

If you like things a little spicy, then the spicy sandwich is perfect for you. It's a mild spice so it won't burn off your taste buds.

6. Those toppings? They'll make you weak in the knees and begging for mercy.

This thing only has three toppings! First you've got pickles, which bring some crunch and a touch of sweetness to every perfect bite. Then you've got the mayo (spicy or regular). And the third? Well, that's a secret. But like KFC’s Secret Recipe, it’ll keep you coming back for more. *Chef’s kiss.*

7. KFC has always been the GOAT of delish fried chicken.

KFC's first store in Canada opened in 1955; so you know they know what they're talking about when it comes to golden, delicious fried chicken. And fried chicken has always been the superior protein.

8. You can pair it with any of your other KFC faves — like popcorn chicken, fries and gravy, or poutine.
