<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Genius that I am, I volunteered to take on the Fiery Bacon Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich before reading the press release from Burger King. If I had done so, I would have known its summer \u201cFiery\u201d menu has a tiered heat list, with the chicken sandwich sitting at the maximum Spice Level Five. I can handle some spice, but I don\u2019t like having my throat annihilated by jalape\u00f1os; visions of people having seizures and hallucinations after eating Nashville Hot Chicken plagued me. What had I signed up for?<\/p>\n
Of course, it was Burger King, so it\u2019s fine. It turns out that even maximum Burger King spiciness is not that spicy compared to other spicy foods. It\u2019s not even as spicy as BK\u2019s original release of the Spicy Chicken Fries, which I loved. I worried myself into a tizzy for nothing.<\/p>\n
This ambitious sandwich features white meat chicken with a coat of fiery glaze, fiery-seasoned bacon, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and \u201cFiery sauce.\u201d The sauce tastes like slightly cheesy mayonnaise with a small amount of heat added to it; everything else is fairly self-explanatory.<\/p>\n
I had this twice, and neither time did I get much pepper jack cheese. To be fair, I don\u2019t think it was needed.<\/p>\n
When I first bit into the breaded, coated chicken breast before eating any of the toppings with it, I knew it tasted familiar, but I couldn\u2019t place it. It\u2019s a sweet heat, and I couldn\u2019t get past the d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu sensation as I continued to shovel the thing into my mouth. Eventually, I realized what I was reminded of: General Tso\u2019s Chicken. It\u2019s definitely not an exact match, but the texture of the breading and the sweet and spice level put it into the ballpark of that Chinese takeout staple. I happen to really like General Tso\u2019s Chicken, so this was a good thing for me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But if you were having General Tso\u2019s, would you want it slathered in mayonnaise? Probably not, but somehow, it works. Even though the fiery sauce has some spice, it still works as a cooling element compared to the spicing of the chicken patty, with the lettuce and tomato also working as you\u2019d expect to moderate the heat level. I did get the sensation of heat in the back of my throat a few times, but it wasn\u2019t unpleasant, just noticeable.<\/p>\n
Besides not getting much cheese, my main complaint is that there wasn\u2019t enough bacon. The spiced bacon adds another welcome layer of flavor and texture, but I wasn\u2019t given much of it. It probably changes a lot between individual orders, so you may get more bacon on your sandwich than I did, but I doubt BK is heaping it on there. This is kind of a shame because if this thing was loaded up with that perfectly spiced bacon, we\u2019d be talking about a 10 out of 10 experience here. As it stands, it\u2019s merely very good.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what it is, but whenever Burger King releases a spicy product, it really seems to work for me. I\u2019m looking forward to trying the other items on the Fiery menu before the end of summer, and hey, maybe I\u2019ll even try Nashville Hot Chicken someday; I bet my hallucinations would be awesome and might even include unicorns.<\/p>\n
