\"Jack<\/p>\n

Burnt or ominously seasoned?<\/p>\n

Those were the two thoughts in my head when I opened the clamshell container holding my three-piece order of Jack in the Box\u2019s new Spicy Chicken Strips. <\/p>\n

After trying them, I realized it might be an equal amount of both as the 100% white meat chicken inside the coating was a little dry, and the menu item as a whole ended up being spicier than I thought it would be.<\/p>\n

I expected these strips to be as peppery as Jack in the Box\u2019s old spicy chicken sandwich, which I\u2019ve consumed numerous times. But they\u2019re hotter. Oh, I wrote, \u201cold spicy chicken sandwich\u201d because Jack has updated the menu item by using these chicken strips in it. I also think they do a better job at bringing the heat than Wendy\u2019s spicy chicken. Don\u2019t @ me.<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

These also have a nice taste and crunch. The coating is crispy, most noticeably on the edges. Their flavor reminds me of Jack in the Box\u2019s tacos for some reason but enhanced and much spicier. They\u2019re tasty enough that they don\u2019t need a dipping sauce, but my order did come with a container of ranch dip.<\/p>\n

Jack in the Box did a great job with these Spicy Chicken Strips. They\u2019re hotter and taste better than I expected. But with all that said, I\u2019m not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend these. <\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

While I like them, the amount of trans fat they have is alarming. I got the three-piece order, which, according to Jack in the Box\u2019s website while I was writing this, has 4.5 grams of trans fat, and the five-piece option has 8 grams.<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

It might be a mistake on the website because Jack\u2019s regular chicken strips don\u2019t have trans fat and the updated Jack\u2019s Spicy Chicken Sandwich that uses these strips also doesn\u2019t have trans fat. But the nutrition for the sandwich might be for the old version, and no one changed it yet. I dunno. I hope it\u2019s an error because I don\u2019t want to go back to the early 1990s when the trans fat flowed as freely as crack cocaine.<\/p>\n
