Popeye’s chicken sandwich has been in the news more this year than it deserves — yet, here we are giving it another life.

You’ve likely seen the banana that is all the rage at the Art Basel Miami festival and Popeyes was probably thinking why didn’t we think of that — because that’s what the rest of us were thinking.

Apparently it’s good enough to be a work of art.

A spokesperson for Popeyes told Fox News that the Chicken Sandwich was included as a piece in the famous art festival. Like the infamous banana, the popular sandwich was duct-taped to a canvas.

The piece, officially named “The Sandwich,” is listed at $120,003.99 and is being described as “a mixed media work of art consisting of a toasted brioche bun, two pickles, fried chicken, mayo and duct tape over a canvas.”

Gross.

It was featured at the San Paul Gallery Urban Art display.

Profits from the sale will go directly to the Popeyes Foundation, a “non-profit organization that helps communities with food and support in times of need.”

The sandwich debuted in August and quickly became one of the most popular fast-food items of the year. It quickly sold out and was briefly unavailable nationwide as Popeyes attempted to keep up with the demand.

Popeyes restaurants have had a year — seriously one guy was stabbed because he tried to cut in line just for the sandwich. It’s been nothing but trouble — it has created fights and other acts of violence amongst customers.
