I don’t think my mental image of a chicken sandwich is the same as yours, but I do enjoy an open faced tuna melt, which I find is easier to eat with a knife and fork. But I don’t really consider that a sandwich, either. It’s more like chipped beef on toast, which I suppose you could argue is also a sandwich.
I’m not really sure what you’re asking or where the dichotomy is. Are you referring to a specific type of chicken sandwich in your region which is typically eaten with utensils? Because I have never in my life seen or heard of someone eating a chicken sandwich with utensils. I’m sure there are people who don’t like getting their fingers messy who do so, but they are the odd ones out.
Not the same person, but all of the top results in a search for a sandwich not eaten with hands were posts relating to etiquette. Scrolling down, it did mention one sandwich (not the one you link anywhere on the page) but even that didn’t say in the summary that utensils were required.
I’d presume you’d eat it like a hot chicken sandwich, ie fork and knife.

I have never heard of eating a chicken sandwich with a fork and knife, hot or otherwise.
Are we going back to definitions territory or are you willing to explore new ways of eating your food?
By the way, for the particular case of the chicken sandwich the knife might turn out to be handy if the chicken is alive ;)

I did look it up. The most common result I found was a hot Nashville style fried chicken sandwich, which is eaten with the hands.
Just kidding. I don’t see nothing wrong eating with cutlery or getting your fingers sticky. Just a matter of preference.
