Some toddlers just know a good fast-food trend when they see it.
Such is the case withJimmy Kimmel‘s 2-year-old sonWilliam John, a.k.a. “Billy,”who was lucky enough to get his hands on the elusivenew Popeyes chicken sandwichwhile many are still flocking to their nearest restaurants only to find hours-long waits or a complete outage.
Little Billy looks hesitantly at the camerain the first photo ashe takes a bite of the sandwich, which could lead Kimmel’s followers to believe he may not have decided how he feels about it at first.
“Even 2 yr olds can’t resist the#popeyeschickensandwich,” Kimmel captioned the cute post.
Billy’s chow fest came one day afterGayle Kinglamented on Instagram that she and her nephewCameron Harrisonhad gone on a quest to find the sandwich, to no avail — after over a dozen tries.

Though a representative for Popeyes did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on the shortage, it seems to be a problem across the country, with many customers airing their grievances on Twitter.
The popularity of the chicken sandwich, which was first released earlier this month, washeightened after what’s being called #ChickenWarson social media.
It started on Aug. 19, when Popeyes’ Twitter account sent a “Y’all good?”tweet in responseto atweetChick-fil-A had posted about its original chicken sandwich, which read, “Bun + Chicken + Pickles = all the ❤️ for the original.”
