For a minute there it was a wrap on fast food wraps.<\/p>\n

Sure, you could easily get sixty-four wrap-adjacent offerings at Taco Bell or wrap-ish Gyros at Arby\u2019s, but the rest of the wraps got scrapped.<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s axed my beloved Crispy Chicken Ranch Snack Wraps years ago. BK seems to flirt with everything but wraps, even going so far as to try gross Jack in the Box taco clones. I went to KFC the other day and it apparently already stopped selling its new snack wraps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where are the wraps?!<\/p>\n

They\u2019re at Wendy\u2019s. Well, one is at Wendy\u2019s, at least. After years of a wrap-less menu, Wendy\u2019s is back with a Grilled Chicken Ranch Wrap.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s just me, but wraps are completely necessary for a fast-food menu. Sometimes I want a lazy bite to eat that\u2019ll fill me up but won\u2019t bog me down, and a grilled chicken wrap seems like the perfect answer. Wendy\u2019s almost gets it right here, but it needs some adjustments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First of all, the wrap itself is a weird size. It\u2019s somehow too big and too small at the same time. If the wrap was stuffed with chicken, it would be too big, but since it was mostly stuffed with lettuce, it\u2019s too small. This was about as much of a messy salad as it was a chicken wrap.<\/p>\n

I mean, outside of that, it\u2019s essentially what you think it is. I wouldn\u2019t say Wendy\u2019s necessarily excels at grilled chicken, but for something like this, it makes more sense. My chicken pieces were a little on the chewy and slimy side, if I\u2019m being honest, and while I don\u2019t opt for its grilled fare much, that\u2019s kinda always been my experience with it. Would I have preferred fried chicken? Absolutely, but I also like the idea of a healthier meal when it comes to a wrap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty of ranch dressing and probably not enough cheddar, but it wouldn\u2019t matter because all that would just get swallowed up by the head of lettuce. Again, while the wrap is bigger than the typical \u201csnack\u201d wraps, it\u2019s not very substantial because most of it is tortilla and ruffage.<\/p>\n

If this was smaller at a lower price point, I\u2019d like it more. If it was dense with chicken like a burrito, I\u2019d like it more. As it is, it\u2019s just passable and probably not worth your time or money.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019m happy to see a wrap back on the Wendy\u2019s menu, but I wish it was something I could just swing by and get as a midday snack. These don\u2019t hold a candle to the late McDonald\u2019s Crispy Chicken Snack Wraps, but few things do.<\/p>\n

My recommendation would be to wait and see if the line expands. Maybe there will be a spicy variety soon, and I could see that easily being superior. For now, there are much better chicken options to get at Wendy\u2019s.<\/p>\n
