Like a lot of people I know, I went on a fast, not just on Good Friday but also on Holy Thursday. I even took it another step further and went on an all-liquid cleanse the past three days. So you can imagine just how hungry I must be today.

My craving? The Jollibee Crunchy Chicken Sandwich and everyone’s favorite Chickenjoy, of course! Whenever my husband, daughter, and I crave Jollibee, these are among our staple orders (plus an order of Jollibee’s Iced Coffee for me—so happy they now have one!).

I love how Jollibee’s chicken sandwich has a chicken patty that’s crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, complemented by a generous amount of creamy dressing, and sandwiched between everyone’s favorite delicious Yum Buns. You get all these tasty ingredients from the first bite to the last—and at such a budget-friendly price!

This all-new Jollibee Crunchy Chicken Sandwich raises the bar and sets a new standard for what a chicken sandwich should be in terms of taste and value. Biting into one is an experience I frequently look forward to.

But before the Jollibee Crunchy Chicken Sandwich, my staple Jollibee order has always been Chickenjoy. And I’m certainly not alone in this. Renowned for its crispy and flavorful skin, juicy and succulent meat, and signature gravy, Chickenjoy continues to make a lasting impact and be well-loved by all generations.

The Chickenjoy is such a huge part of everyone’s Jollibee experience that for the first time in Chickenjoy history, Jollibee even brought together enthusiasts of its well-loved fried chicken for a day-long “I Am A Chickenjoyer Fan Meet” at Trinoma Activity Center last February 17. The joy-filled event gathered families and friends (over 1,500 individuals!) to celebrate their shared love for the iconic Chickenjoy.

At the fan meet, guests engaged in a slew of activities like conquering the Claw Machine, trying their luck at the Giant Gachapon, and mastering the Ball Bucket Shoot Out. Attendees collected points, won limited-edition Chickenjoy merchandise, and created lasting memories. The unique event showed how Chickenjoy has played a role in the lives of millions, from satisfying cravings to completing delightful bonding moments.

The highlight of the event was the presence of Jollibee endorsers and self-proclaimed Chickenjoyers Joshua Garcia and Donny Pangilinan, who added to the fun during the morning and afternoon programs, respectively.

When asked about his favorite memory with Chickenjoy, Donny recalled, “As a kid, I remember going home via expressway and ordering Jollibee via drive-thru because that’s really our favorite. In the car, my dad would ask us what we wanted and of course, we wanted Chickenjoy. We’d share it in the car before driving off again, feeling satisfied.” I can totally relate to this!

Joshua added his own vivid Chickenjoy moments: “With my family, it’s always a tradition to order Jollibee when it’s someone’s birthday. My nephew loves Chickenjoy, so I would bring him a bucket on his birthday and we’d share it with Jolly Spaghetti or rice. My favorite part is the chicken wing—I love the experience of removing the bone and dipping the wing in the gravy. Sarap!” Chickenjoy and Jolly Spaghetti are definitely staples when we throw birthday parties at our farm in Iloilo, too.
