\"Wendy<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Wendy\u2019s latest budget sandwich fix. The Buffalo Ranch Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a lightly breaded chicken patty smothered in Buffalo ranch sauce, topped with lettuce and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese, and served on a warm bun.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

My initial reaction when picking it up was that it felt very substantial for a buck, and indeed, it delivers. Wendy’s didn\u2019t skimp on the sauce, which has a balanced creamy and spicy presence to it that comes through on every single bite. <\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

The chicken tastes more \u201creal\u201d and authentic than the coveted McChicken, and while the sauce does most of the driving on the overall flavor, the patty is moist and crisp and does everything it should to bring the protein foundation for this spiced up cheap thrill.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

As is the case with a lot of fast food sandwiches, the cheese didn\u2019t add much and wasn\u2019t fully melted sitting against the cold crisp lettuce. Initially, I was stoked to get a sandwich with cheese for such a cheap price, but I couldn\u2019t really taste it and, in the absence of melty texture, it\u2019s pretty unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

While it\u2019s a far cry from Wendy\u2019s fantastic Homestyle Chicken Sandwich, that deep fries a whole chicken breast, the Buffalo Ranch Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a terrific chicken sandwich for the price.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s salty and creamy with enough spice to be satisfying without needing ample cups of water to survive. Wendy\u2019s continues its tradition of offering some of the best chicken in fast food land and have a solid soldier to put forth in the budget battle of value menu supremacy.<\/p>\n
