The tweet was likely a jab at Popeyes' rival, Chick-fil-A, which often describes itself as the home of the original chicken sandwich.
Tensions between the two chains have been high since August, when Popeyes added a chicken sandwich to its menu, challenging the dominance of Chick-fil-A in the category. A spat between the two fast-food chains on Twitter led to Popeyes' new menu item going viral, and it sold out nationally after two weeks. The sandwich was relaunched on November 3.
The feud between Popeyes and Chick-fil-A has colloquially become known as the Chicken Sandwich Wars of 2019.
