The Chicken Coup

Mar 26, 2023 | 42m 28s | tv-pg | CC

A devout Georgia diner owner stumbles into the chicken game when he develops a unique fried chicken sandwich with a batch of cast-off filets. The unique sandwich he creates will become the menu centerpiece at one of the most popular fast food chains in the world. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, a flamboyant former donut-shop owner takes a very different path to fried chicken supremacy when he innovates a spicy Cajun-style fried chicken. Eventually challenging America’s burger joint heavyweights, these two future fast-food kingpins find themselves on a collision course in an all-out chicken sandwich war that is still raging to this day.
