But, as I purchased my Wendy&#8217;s Barbecue Chicken Sandwich and carried it to my seat, I definitely felt as if the <a href=https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/False_memory#Commonly_held_false_memories >Mandela Effect<\/a> had taken hold of my memories; I just wasn&#8217;t &#8220;for sure&#8221; about it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I remember thinking how much I truly enjoyed the barbecue burger, especially Wendy&#8217;s dedication to the perfection of a delicious faux-BBQ sauce. It&#8217;s usually the one roadblock many fast food eateries hit when trying to perfect their monthly specials. Well, it was only a matter of time before Wendy&#8217;s spread it lovingly across its wealth of chicken \u2014 <em>if<\/em> it hasn&#8217;t before.<\/p>\n<p>There are three chicken choices are &#8212; homestyle, spicy, or grilled. I chose a grilled fillet, for moderation&#8217;s sake, of course. With the added slice of Muenster cheese, crispy fried onions, and three perfect pickles, I feel the sandwich would be a triumph, but with a full dollop of Wendy&#8217;s Kansas City-style (their words) barbecue sauce, it becomes more of a testament to taste.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Wendy%E2%80%99s-Barbecue-Chicken-Sandwich-Bitten.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wendy s Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Bitten\" title=\"Wendy\u2019s Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Bitten.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the lifeblood of this sandwich, the barbecue sauce filled every divergent nook and complacent cranny delectably, taking over the sandwich and reinforcing the flavor, especially, of the chicken and, strangely enough, the typical Wendy&#8217;s bread. The sweet and spicy components are wonderful bedfellows, whispering tantalizing nothings into the chicken&#8217;s ear.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the bedeviled fried onions do their jobs as mere pawns in this tasty game of complete control.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Wendy%E2%80%99s-Barbecue-Chicken-Sandwich-Cheese.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wendy s Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Cheese\" title=\"Wendy\u2019s Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Cheese.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But the true surprise is the aforementioned Muenster; who thinks to put a somewhat out-of-the-mainstream cheese on something like this? While the barbecue sauce takes over most of the menu item, this pungent cheese manages to rise above it all. It strengthens the sandwich in such a way that it truly causes the eater to take a bite, then a step back, and then ask those in charge why isn&#8217;t this cheese involved in more sandwiches as of late?<\/p>\n<p>While there is a part of me that would love to give it a ten, sadly, the Wendy&#8217;s Barbecue Sandwich, with its wholly unique flavor, is a bit too shrunken for me to justify a whole $5.49 for a single serving, especially in a country like America. It very much becomes a taste vs. value fight of personal responsibility that we must all go through at least once in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess I&#8217;ll give it a nine, ese. <em>C\u00f3mpralo ya!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $5.49<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 650 calories, 26 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 80 milligrams of cholesterol, 1580 milligrams of sodium, 69 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 14 grams of sugar, and 34 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a part of me that begs for an answer to this question: has Wendy&#8217;s ever attempted a barbecue-style chicken sandwich?
