Jimmy's Famous Seafood Joins Chicken Sandwich Battle With Crabby Chicken

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Jimmy's Famous Seafood is throwing down in the chicken sandwich battle happening nationwide since Popeye's released its new chicken sandwich. But what they are doing will benefit a great cause.

On Thursday, they are bringing back their Crabby Chicken sandwich.

"Ok kids, you had your fun. Get out the way," Jimmy's tweeted Monday.

The Baltimore seafood restaurant is offering their version of the chicken sandwich, smothered in their crab dip and served on homemade bread.

"It's something that I came up with years ago," Tony Minadakis, of Jimmy's Famous Seafood, said. "Chick-fil-A inspired with the pickles on the bottom. I just wanted to put a Maryland twist on it."

You can get their Crabby Chicken for $5 only on Thursday, Aug. 29. Every penny will benefit Best Buddies Maryland.

Since Popeye's released its new chicken sandwich, a battle began between them and Chick-fil-A. Wendy's Shake Shack and others have tried to join in on the fun.

But Jimmy's says the competition will be over Thursday.

"The Chicken Sandwich War ends Thursday," they tweeted.

"We're a Maryland brand," Minadakis said. "We're a Maryland staple, and we're going to do what we know best."
