![]() ![]() This chicken is actually quite juicy, but doesn’t have that “ooh real chicken” moment, indeed the softer texture was something of a turn off personally. That said, there’s a noticeable processed quality to it. The chicken itself shreds and tears – this is real chicken. ![]() I’d say I encountered the same issue on the Deluxe which does come with mayo, but my sandwich featured so little sauce, it made little to no difference. This made me wonder if that’s the reason there’s no mayo or otherwise on the basic Crispy Chicken – the coating doesn’t seem to hold up to much moisture. Indeed in the case of the Spicy Chicken the spicy sauce actually caused the breading to disintegrate into a mushy, unappealing mess. As it cools, its strip easily away from the chicken too. Theres some minimal crisp, but it dissipates faster than competing battered sandwiches. Many brands are looking to ape the Popeyes approach (think KFCs new sandwich, or Zaxby’s upcoming release) but McDonald’s definitely takes a different route. The coating used here is more thin breading that riotously crispy batter. In an age of sandwiches featuring rippling ridges of cracks and crunch, the McDonald’s patty was a surprising let down (bear in mind this sandwich was reputedly tested to great success in both 20) The Deluxe oddly comes in standard McDonald’s cardboard package, presumably to keep more of the looser toppings containedīest I could tell all three chicken sandwiches share essentially the same chicken patty each of the three sandwiches offering a different flourish and finish with toppings. Taking a nod from the competition, both the regular and spicy crispy sandwiches come in foil bags, reminiscent of Popeyes and KFC packaging – but smaller and simpler in design. After the main review, scroll down for even more in depth shots of all the new chicken sandwiches from McDonald’s: So you’re probably asking, how do they stack up against the reigning champion from Popeyes, do any of the sandwiches come close? First up, here’s a few photographs of each of the sandwiches. Obviously I had to grab all three the moment I spotted them on the menu if these are anything like last years Spicy Nuggets release – they will sell out fast. Those prices are from my local McDonald’s here in Salt Lake City, Utah. Deluxe Chicken Sandwich – served with shredded lettuce, Roma tomatoes and mayo, $5 sandwich, $8.00 combo.Spicy Chicken Sandwich – served with a Spicy Pepper Sauce, crinkle cut pickles on a toasted potato roll, $4.00 sandwich, $7.00 combo. ![]()
