Four discontinued chicken sandwiches from fast food chains fans are still craving

FAST Food restaurants are not shy about keeping once-popular items off the menus - even if fans still miss them.

From KFC to McDonald's, almost every fast food spot has introduced multiple chicken sandwiches at some point.

And while many have become staples, others have left never to return.

Here are chicken sandwiches that are gone but not forgotten.

KFC

While KFC may be best known for its chicken meals and buckets, it has also tried multiple chicken sandwiches over the years.

One of its most popular was The Snacker, a small, affordable option meant to compete with budget menu items on McDonald's Dollar Menu.

Despite its popularity, KFC took away The Snacker around nine years ago.

Yet, many still remember it fondly.

"Them KFCsnacker sandwiches used to hit," one fan lamented on Twitter.

WENDY'S

Both the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and 4-Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich are gone from Wendy's menu.

In the case of the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, it was removed just this spring in favor of the new Grilled Chicken Wrap.

The 4-Alarm Spicy Chicken was replaced years ago without any wrap-replacement.

The spicy sandwich was launched back in 2006 and contained pepper jack cheese, jalapeno slices, lettuce, and a special 4-Alarm chipotle sauce.

Fans still miss it, with some hoping for an extra-terrestrial intervention to bring it back.

"I sincerely hope these aliens bring back the 4 Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich...I feel like it's my only hope for that tasty deliciousness all up in my mouth again," one user Tweeted at Wendy's in February.

MCDONALD'S

While better known as an iconic hamburger spot, McDonald's has given multiple chicken sandwiches and wraps a spot on the menu.

Yet, unlike its iconic burgers, chicken sandwiches have a harder time sticking around.

This includes The Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which was discontinued in 2020 along with a host of other items as McDonald's revamped its menu during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Despite staying on the menu for many years, the sandwich has yet to make a comeback.

Yet, fast food fans can rejoice over once-discontinued items making a comeback.
