<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, the only way fast food chains can be \u201cinnovative\u201d when it comes to chicken sandwiches is if they radically<\/em> change the stuff around the chicken – i.e., all of the other ingredients underneath the bread – or find an entirely different kind of bird to deep fry (I\u2019m anticipating a breaded pheasant Arby\u2019s entree by 2020, for sure.)<\/p>\n Needless to say, Burger King\u2019s all-too-generically titled Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich isn\u2019t the revolutionary L-T-O the fast food industry\u2019s looking for. That\u2019s not to say it\u2019s bad or anything like that, just that it\u2019s, well, pretty much exactly what you would expect<\/em>. As soon as you eye the sandwich, you know precisely<\/em> what to anticipate, and as soon as you take your first bite all of your prejudices are validated. Sorry BK – this is one book we can all<\/em> safely judge by its wrapper. <\/p>\n First things first, my sandwich didn\u2019t look anything like the sandwich on the advertisement posters. Sure, they never do<\/em>, but in this case it was egregiously underwhelming. The whole sandwich was flatter than a pancake, to the point I couldn\u2019t even see the interior chicken gawping at the sandwich sideways. And I assure you, what was lurking underneath the hood was even more disappointing.<\/p>\n Yeah, that\u2019s a pretty small chicken patty, isn\u2019t it? Hell, that thing is so small, it might be better described as a morbidly obese chicken nugget. Still, it did have a nice, healthy orange sheen to it, so I\u2019ll at least give the King props for aesthetics.<\/p>\n Maybe it\u2019s just my local BK crew not giving a hoot, but it seems like there was a surplus of mayonnaise on my sandwich and a deficit of tomato and lettuce. Ultimately, this thing had more \u201cdead space\u201d on it than any fast food burger I\u2019ve chewed in a long time. Indeed, my first couple of bites, I was literally gnashing bread on bread<\/em>. I\u2019ve gotten to the center of a Tootsie Roll lollipop faster than it took me to hit something other<\/em> than bun on this sucker.<\/p>\n The white meat patty – once you get to it – though, is pretty good, but the \u201cspiciness\u201d is another letdown. Pretty much all this thing does is give you a nasty case of Doritos breath, and maybe a little<\/em> bit of \u201cTexas Pete tongue\u201d for half a minute. <\/p>\n Again, it\u2019s not horrible tasting, it’s just so woefully<\/em> predictable. Even if you haven\u2019t tried BK\u2019s latest, I promise you that you\u2019ve had at least one other sandwich that tasted like it. Had Burger King at least tried<\/em> to up the ante with a spicier dressing, hotter cheese, or even some spicy onion rings, they would have given this thing some<\/em> kind of identity.<\/p>\n But as is, this thing is painfully bland. And if there\u2019s one thing worse than being a bad<\/em> fast food sandwich, surely, it\u2019s being one that\u2019s just OK.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 700 calories, 42 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,140 milligrams of sodium, 57 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, 25 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.49 At this point, the only way fast food chains can be \u201cinnovative\u201d when it comes to chicken sandwiches is if they radically change the stuff around the chicken – i.e., all of the other ingredients underneath the bread – or find an entirely different kind of bird to deep fry (I\u2019m anticipating a breaded pheasant […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1440],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27445,"url":"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2018\/03\/06\/fast-food-news-burger-kings-spicy-crispy-chicken-sandwich\/","url_meta":{"origin":27594,"position":0},"title":"FAST FOOD NEWS: Burger King’s Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich","author":"Marvo","date":"March 6, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Update: We reviewed it!

\nPros:<\/b> The chicken patty has a nice apricot glow. The ample “white space” allows for plenty of creative uses of condiments. The white meat, admittedly, is pretty chewy.
\nCons:<\/b> It’s not spicy – at all. It really could benefit from some extra ingredients. The feeling that you’ve already eaten this thing before…and at a lower price point, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
