\"Jack<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to admit Jack in the Box’s Bacon & Egg Chicken Sandwich looks tasty in the photo above. I won\u2019t tell anyone. Okay, the cheese looks a bit plasticky, but so do the faces of many celebrities, but we still love them\u2026Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n

The sandwich features crispy all-white meat chicken topped with a fried egg, American cheese, hickory smoked bacon, and bacon mayo on a toasted English muffin. It\u2019s part of Jack\u2019s new Brunchfast menu that sounds like it\u2019s available during a small window during the day, but is actually available all day. <\/p>\n

While it looks good in the photo, I have to admit the sandwich doesn\u2019t taste as good. My main issue with it is that it tasted too much like other chicken sandwiches I\u2019ve had from Jack in the Box. The \u201cbreakfast\u201d parts of the sandwich didn\u2019t make it taste breakfast-y.<\/p>\n

The fried egg added nothing to the flavor. It was pretty much the lettuce of the sandwich. The only way you\u2019d know it\u2019s there is if you had eyes to look at the sandwich or had eyes to see the milligrams of cholesterol it has by looking at its nutrition facts on Jack in the Box\u2019s website. I thought the yolk would\u2019ve made a difference, but it just blended in with the rest of the egg\u2019s blandness. If the yolk was runny, then it might\u2019ve added something, but that\u2019s never going to happen due to food health concerns. <\/p>\n

But the English muffin was worse. It had a spongy texture that\u2019s more like a stale bun than what folks in London call a muffin. I don\u2019t know if the FDA has rules regarding English muffins, but if I were to write them, I\u2019d make sure that this wouldn\u2019t be considered one.<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/a><\/p>\n

The hickory smoked bacon was fine. I\u2019ve had it many times before. It added a nice smoky and chewy element to the sandwich. But the winner of Best Bacon Ingredient on the Bacon & Egg Chicken Sandwich goes to the bacon mayonnaise. It\u2019s creamy and had a bacon flavor that was tastier than the actual bacon included. The breaded chicken had crispy edges, but was dry inside (not surprising). And the cheese kept the bacon from falling out and looked like something made by Fisher Price, but did nothing beyond that.<\/p>\n

The Bacon & Egg Chicken Sandwich was not horrible, but there wasn\u2019t anything about it that would make me want to get another, even the bacon mayo. Heck, I didn\u2019t even feel like finishing it in one sitting. I ate half for Brunchfast and the other half for Linner.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Bacon mayo was nice. Chicken was crispy on the edges. Available all day. Tom Cruise action movies. Cheese is the seat belt that’ll make sure the bacon never falls out.
\nCons:<\/b> Fried egg was the sandwich’s lettuce. Dry chicken. Tastes like other chicken sandwiches. “Breakfast” ingredients didn’t make it taste breakfast-y. Tom Cruise looking younger than most of us.<\/p>\n
