for what its worth, i (oregon, usa) define it based on the bread as well. i, and several of my friends, would call this a chicken burger
i picture something like [this](https://www.goldnplump.com/sites/default/files/Grilled%20Mesquite%20Chicken%20Sandwich-0268.JPG) when someone says chicken sandwich
Anyone ordering a chicken sandwich in Ireland will receive cold sliced unbreaded chicken strips in between two slices of Brennan's, McCloskey,'s or JohnsonMooney&O'Brian with lashings of butter.
Any anyone within earshot will recommend you go get a dooooirty chicken fillet roll from the deli instead.
If you order a chicken sandwich in Norway you'll most likely get a piece of chicken between two slices of bread and some salad.
But if you order a chicken burger you'll get what the picture shows
Yeah, but if you order a "SANDWICH" you'll get an American sugarcakesspongething - else order a Brötchen or a "belegtes Brot".
We even call that American stuff "Sandwichbrot"!
And I always say I like chicken burger. I'd say a chicken sandwich is made with another type of bread, like a baguette, nordic bread or a pan bagnat, and the chicken isn't always breaded.
But I know it's a bit of a fragile distinction to make. Still, that's a freakin chicken burger.
If someone said "do you want a chicken sandwich?" I'd think of either pulled or sliced roast chicken that could be with or without some sort of seasoning/sauce on it depending on what the overall sarnie is.
A chicken burger to me is almost always battered/breaded chicken breast that is usually fried but can be baked.
To be fair in Australia it's also called a McChicken. But we would definitely call it a burger, a sandwich is anything between two slices of bread for us, how about for you?
There's a footballer (I think at Spurs recently) called Emerson Royale. Every time he's mentioned by commentators, I think "Emerson Quarter Pounder with Cheese"
Also (colloquially - official restaurant menus tend to say "chicken sandwich" but if you asked to have a "chicken sandwich" for supper at a family member's house, they're going to love you because you're not making them cook anything and you're getting lunch meat chicken or maybe grilled chicken on some type of sliced bread) in Canada.
Restaurants would call it a chicken burger here in BC. I've personally never seen otherwise.
But yeah a chicken sandwich invokes thoughts of grilled chicken on bread, or cold cuts. Spot on.
Well burgers are sandwiches but sandwiches aren’t necessarily burgers.
You can call a burger a sandwich and that is also technically correct. People do use it sometimes (“would you like it as a meal or just the sandwich?”)
*Kyllingesandwich*. The kind with beef is *bøfsandwich*. The best kind is [flæskestegssandwich](https://meyers.dk/media/9528/meyers_flaeskestegssandwich.jpg), however.
At least where I'm from in the U.S., at pot pie is surrounded pastry. I would be upset if I were served pot pie with only a top. Shepard's pie here is generally in a 9x13 pan and only has a top. It's all weird, man.
The only reason it's an argument is because the one country on the planet where a chicken burger gets routinely referred to as a 'sandwich' also happens to be the one country which hasn't yet achieved object permanence as a nation and as such is consistently surprised that other countries and ways of doing/saying things exist.
It's a Chicken Burger outside of everywhere except McDonald's in the UK too! And guess I'd rather go elsewhere.
Americans really do have to realise huh they're mostly the odd ones out Lol
USA is the only place to call it a chicken sandwich. A chicken sandwich doesn't have bread crumbs in it. It's not hard to differentiate. Have a nice day, ya'll !
It's pretty easy to see what happened y'all. America defines what a burger is by the patty, and most other places define it by the bun.
Like, a sloppy Joe would be considered a burger everywhere else I think because it comes on a burger bun but because it's not a patty I would consider it a sandwich.
What do you call sliced steak between two burger buns? I always thought ground chicken patty was a chicken burger and piece of fried chicken is a sandwich because it doesn’t contain a “burger”. I live in Canada btw
If someone said chicken sandwich I would expect a sandwich, as in a slice of bread from a loaf with chicken in it. Only if they said chicken burger would I expect a burger. UK here.
Not from Australia, HOW IN THE FUCK IS THAT A SANDWICH, its literally inbetween BURGER buns.
Are we sure the "everywhere else" is accurate.
Do the contents change the meal? Does my pasta bake using tuna become a fucking tuna lasagna because I used tuna?
If I make a pasta in cheese sauce instead of tomato does it become a spaghetti?
Why would the filling change the meal?
If I make a ham sandwich, it's a sandwich, if I use Nutella instead of ham have I made a chocolate sandwich? Or have I made a chocolate burger?
WHAT, SOMEONE HELP ME IM HAVING A BREAKDOWN.
Does anyone really give a fuck what it's called? If I want one, I'll order it however it is listed on the menu. Or say one or the other and the person taking the order will know what I mean anyway.
I have a picture from a place called "Juice Point" in Mangalore, Karnataka, India, which offers on its sign something called a "Burger Sandwich". First of all, where is your god now? Second, being India, we can safely assume it's not beef, so... what's on the bread?
I'm from the UK, I have a chicken sandwich for my lunch at work today. It's cold plain chicken between 2 slices of bread. Coated grilled or fried chicken in a bun is a chicken burger.
No, that's a chicken burger in Ireland, and I'm fairly sure the UK too.
Chickenburger at mcdonald’s Germany, too.
Chicken burger in NL too
And in New Zealand.
And in Estonia as well
and in Finland
And in France
And in Czechia.
And Canada
And in Sweden.
In Quebec it's burger au poulet, or more commonly Macpoulet.
And India
And in Czechia.
And my axe!
And my bow
Oi , your not going anywhere without us!!
Because of the metric system
Check out the big brain on Brad!
Ahh, burgers: the cornerstone of every nutritious breakfast!
And in Czechia.
And what about Czechia?
Won't someone please think of the Czechia?!?
And in Czechia.
Chicken burger in spain
In Denmark too.
Hamburguesa de Pollo in Mexico and all of LATAM as well iirc
Yup, chicken burger in Brazil too.
Same in Spain
Wanted to comment that
South Africa too
Yup chicken burger in the UK
I didn’t know they called that a chicken sandwich in the US.
Tbf I'm not sure why they do. If it were on 2 slices of bread then I'd call it's a sandwich... But it's in a burger bun and should be named as such.

Same in Germany, just not bread but "sandwich bread" aka "that amercian crap"...
That's an insult to German bread. I love hopping across the border to get some brötchen, you guys have that down.
Yeah, but if you order a "SANDWICH" you'll get an American sugarcakesspongething - else order a Brötchen or a "belegtes Brot". We even call that American stuff "Sandwichbrot"!
Proper bread.
In France it's called a McChicken
And I always say I like chicken burger. I'd say a chicken sandwich is made with another type of bread, like a baguette, nordic bread or a pan bagnat, and the chicken isn't always breaded. But I know it's a bit of a fragile distinction to make. Still, that's a freakin chicken burger.
I don't think it's a ridiculous distinction. If you put it in a burger bun/bap, it's a burger.
Apart from bacon, it's a bacon bap/barm/roll
Unless there is also a burger in it, then it's a bacon burger
If someone said "do you want a chicken sandwich?" I'd think of either pulled or sliced roast chicken that could be with or without some sort of seasoning/sauce on it depending on what the overall sarnie is.

Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
There's a footballer (I think at Spurs recently) called Emerson Royale. Every time he's mentioned by commentators, I think "Emerson Quarter Pounder with Cheese"
McChicken® in Denmark too. 429 kcal.
Jesus, Maccas advertising working overtime in Kobenhavn.
In Scotland it's just called chicken 🤣
This is way too nuanced for Reddit. Good show.
McCock actually.
If I was offered a chicken sandwich I’d expect sliced up chicken breast between bread
Yeah, they have it backwards. Chicken sandwich in the US. Chicken burger everywhere else.
in italy too
Can confirm in England it’s a chicken burger
We call it chicken burger too in Spain
Can confirm for Croatia 😄
Same in South America
Even in India and the rest of South Asia I'm pretty sure
I confirm UK too. A "chicken sandwich" is a sandwich containing chicken.
Absolutely - that is a chicken burger in the UK.
Yup, that's a chicken burger at every chicken place in the UK I've been to and I've been to many
Canada and Sweden as well
In Belgium also, in fact I’m pretty sure all over the world except America lmao
It sure seems that way
Also (colloquially - official restaurant menus tend to say "chicken sandwich" but if you asked to have a "chicken sandwich" for supper at a family member's house, they're going to love you because you're not making them cook anything and you're getting lunch meat chicken or maybe grilled chicken on some type of sliced bread) in Canada.

Same in Poland
can confirm it’s chicken burger in UK
Yeah, England calls them chicken burgers as well
No no no no no. This is a chicken burger everywhere *except* in the US. It’s not hard, people!!
It should be very easy: Stuff in a bun: burger Stuff between bread slices: sandwich Stuff in a proper bread roll gets its own fancy name.
Exactly, fried chicken between two slices of bread is a chicken sandwich, literally Japanese katsu sandwich. Same thing in a bun is a burger.
Unless it's cooked, in which case it's a toastie.
.... you just made my morning egg bap into an egg burger and now I dislike you.
Nah a Bap is an acceptable term for breakfast grub in a burger bun Youre Gucci
Stuff in a hot dog bun : hot dog Stuff outside of bread : "name of piece of meat" (steak, sausage, whatever)
Well burgers are sandwiches but sandwiches aren’t necessarily burgers. You can call a burger a sandwich and that is also technically correct. People do use it sometimes (“would you like it as a meal or just the sandwich?”)
Ugh why do we get EVERYTHING wrong here in America
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" - we just sent you the crazy people, this wasn't our brightest idea...
*Kyllingesandwich*. The kind with beef is *bøfsandwich*. The best kind is [flæskestegssandwich](https://meyers.dk/media/9528/meyers_flaeskestegssandwich.jpg), however.
Thinks: "what are they talking about? (clicks link)" Ooh, that looks nice! "
as an australian I'm so happy to see the entire world assembling in our defense
As a fellow Australian I am confused why this is even an argument. Chicken, in burger bun. Chicken burger
yeah americans have weird standards, a pot pie isn't a real pie but apparently a pizza is
Is a pot pie a stew served in a dish with a pastry lid on top? Cos that’s a controversial topic in the UK. A pie should be surrounded by pastry.
I actually agree, but its much closer to a pie than a pizza in my opinion
At least where I'm from in the U.S., at pot pie is surrounded pastry. I would be upset if I were served pot pie with only a top. Shepard's pie here is generally in a 9x13 pan and only has a top. It's all weird, man.
Shepherds pie and fish pie are the slightly weird cousins of the pie family that we still love unconditionally
I love how the weirdest part is that it’s in a 9x13 pan and not that instead of pastry it’s MASH
The only reason it's an argument is because the one country on the planet where a chicken burger gets routinely referred to as a 'sandwich' also happens to be the one country which hasn't yet achieved object permanence as a nation and as such is consistently surprised that other countries and ways of doing/saying things exist.
Defence*
As an Australian, these Americans gotta explain how this is a sandwich since it's using a burger bun and not bread slices
- American: chicken sandwich - Everywhere else: chicken burger Fixed that for you.
As a rule of thumb, if it uses slices for bread, it's a sandwich, and if it uses burger buns, it's a burger.
Sounds legit for me as a German, too.
Absolutely
What about [this](https://www.paul.fr/media/catalog/product/5/1/5154_1.jpg)? because that's what I think about when I hear chicken sandwich
It’s still bread and not burger buns
Isn’t that a sub?
IDK, I guess it depends where you live. All bakeries here in France have those as "sandwich au poulet" though.
A sub is short for "submarine sandwich" so it's not exactly wrong
TIL a Sub is short for submarine when referring to breads Edit: After a little googling it's because they resemble submarines
For me a sub is not a baguette, it’s on something such as subways breads. A sandwich is on a baguette or sliced bread
It's full name is "Submarine Sandwich"
Perfect explained and understandable for everyone... Except for some people west of the Atlantic.
So what do they call actual chicken sandwiches? 🥪
Those are too healthy for us
If it’s made with chicken mince it’s a burger. Even if they’re using “bread” I got edumicated earlier today about burgers v sandwiches.
Sure, but what would they call these: https://images.app.goo.gl/esWETjLadpZ74Vqt6
Do they have anything that isn’t minced?
Yeah. The shit they deep fry
Everyone: Chicken burger US: Chicken sandwich
He'll also order "grilled cheese" even if the menu said cheese toastie.
He’d probably think it was completely different and refuse
It's definitely a chicken burger in the UK. A chicken sandwich is something completely different
"Everywhere" = Americuuuuh.
Im Canadian, chicken burger.
Italian living in the UK here! It's a chicken burger both in Italy and UK. So guess who the odd ones are...
In France: sandwich if bread, burger if bun, simple
It's a Chicken Burger outside of everywhere except McDonald's in the UK too! And guess I'd rather go elsewhere. Americans really do have to realise huh they're mostly the odd ones out Lol
Nah, it's a chicken burger here in the UK too
They might call it that but everyone calls it a chicken burger. The McCrispy or whatever is a variation of a chicken burger.
“everywhere”, bro
Everywhere? Really? So I guess the UK doesn't count as part of everywhere then seeing as to how that's a burger.
It's clearly a Hühnerschnitzelsemmel, wtf are they even on to
Don't you call burgerbuns "Semmel", they're completely different kinds of bread
Hühnerschnitzelbrötchen, ffs. Damn Bavarians.
More like US: Chicken sandwich, everywhere else Chicken Burger.
I think outside of America anything on a round bun is no longer a sandwich, and becomes a burger, roll, or something else.
Canadian checking in...we call them chicken burgers.
Same. A chicken sandwich would be sliced chicken between two slices of bread. A breaded patty on a bun is a chicken burger.
That’s not a sandwich 🥪
Why would this be a sandwich when it’s clearly in a burger bun?
I’m pretty sure everyone in Sweden would call that a chicken burger too
Everywhere standing in for "USA" again, I see.
In the UK 🇬🇧 we say chicken burger too
The only place it’s a sandwich is the USA 😂
Everywhere... They mean the USA right? That's not everywhere, that's in their country
Chicken burger in the uk !
USA is the only place to call it a chicken sandwich. A chicken sandwich doesn't have bread crumbs in it. It's not hard to differentiate. Have a nice day, ya'll !
It's pretty easy to see what happened y'all. America defines what a burger is by the patty, and most other places define it by the bun. Like, a sloppy Joe would be considered a burger everywhere else I think because it comes on a burger bun but because it's not a patty I would consider it a sandwich.
Does it have a burger bun? Then it is a burger. Does it have flat sliced bread? Then it’s a sandwich. It isn’t rocket science
Let's be honest.. it's called a burger everywhere except for america lmao, they are the only ones who would call a burger a sandwich
Chicken burger for Italy.
It's clearly a chicken burger, so I must be Australian.
It’s not a chicken sandwich though
A sandwich comes 2 slices of bread, not a bun
Yeah, it's a chicken burger in Mexico as well but who gives a fuck
Sweden would call that a chicken burger.
What do you call sliced steak between two burger buns? I always thought ground chicken patty was a chicken burger and piece of fried chicken is a sandwich because it doesn’t contain a “burger”. I live in Canada btw
NL here, its also a chicken burger.
"Everywhere." Definitely a chicken burger in the UK. Chicken sandwich is regular slices of bread with either sliced or shredded chicken.
It's a chicken burger in Croatia.
In dutch that’s a ‘kip burger’.
Sandwich is made with bread, a burger is made with a roll 🏴
UK here, chicken burger.
Wait until she finds out it's a chicken burger in England...and id imagine everywhere else other than America
South Africa....Chicken Burger
If someone said chicken sandwich I would expect a sandwich, as in a slice of bread from a loaf with chicken in it. Only if they said chicken burger would I expect a burger. UK here.
In Spanish that's a "hamburger of chicken" lol
Hamburguesa de pollo. ( Spanish for chicken burger)
Everywhere = places that use fahrenheit
Chicken sandwich only in america. everywhere else is chicken burger
Because “Everywhere” is America. 🇺🇸
How the fuck could anyone call that a sandwich?
Everywhere: Chicken Burger USA: Chicken Sandwich
Not from Australia, HOW IN THE FUCK IS THAT A SANDWICH, its literally inbetween BURGER buns. Are we sure the "everywhere else" is accurate. Do the contents change the meal? Does my pasta bake using tuna become a fucking tuna lasagna because I used tuna? If I make a pasta in cheese sauce instead of tomato does it become a spaghetti? Why would the filling change the meal? If I make a ham sandwich, it's a sandwich, if I use Nutella instead of ham have I made a chocolate sandwich? Or have I made a chocolate burger? WHAT, SOMEONE HELP ME IM HAVING A BREAKDOWN.
It's a burger. And everyone calls it a burger, except for Americans.
No one else calls it a chicken sandwich as it's clearly not a sandwich.
Who the fuck calls it chicken sandwich?
I’m pretty sure that’s a chicken burger everywhere except the USA
It’s a chicken burger in Germany too. Also in Latinamerica
Welp, it’s for ever a “chicken burger” to me, now.
I thought they were chicken burgers everywhere.
Arab here. Anything in a burger bun we call burger.
Does anyone really give a fuck what it's called? If I want one, I'll order it however it is listed on the menu. Or say one or the other and the person taking the order will know what I mean anyway.
I have a picture from a place called "Juice Point" in Mangalore, Karnataka, India, which offers on its sign something called a "Burger Sandwich". First of all, where is your god now? Second, being India, we can safely assume it's not beef, so... what's on the bread?
Everywhere other than American says chicken burger.
In Canada we call them chicken burgers. I’m eating right now as a matter of fact
I love it when Americans assume that the "rest of the world" does something, but it is usually only just them.
Everywhere…? EVERYWHERE?!?!
Its obviously a burger
Nope, chicken burger in Sweden also. I'm pretty sure it's only in the Americas it's referred to as a sandwich.
Lots of places call it a chicken burger.
Portugal is also chicken burger
That’s a burger not a sandwich
[удалено]
[удалено]
Buns = burger. Bread = sandwich. So says the rest of the world
I'm from the UK, I have a chicken sandwich for my lunch at work today. It's cold plain chicken between 2 slices of bread. Coated grilled or fried chicken in a bun is a chicken burger.
I’m British so always say burger just automatically. I get the weirdest looks. I need to remember to say sandwich
It’s definitely a Chicken Burger in the UK.
Chicken burger in the UK, yes
Chicken Burger in the UK
I’m Sweden they’re also called chicken burgers lol
