I have a bottle of this at home after BK ruined their Zesty sauce. It's pretty drat close and worth giving a shot.

Also, here's BK's new Hand Breaded Chicken Sandwich. Potato Bun, Deli Pickles and Signature Sauce (Mayonnaise with a dash of some random seasoning, I'm sure). Available in regular or spicy.

I thought the (already available OG or spicy) chicken sandwich was on par with Wendy's or KFC, and better than the McDonald's version. It is always distressingly hot (temperature wise), all the way through to the core like they plunked it down on a huge cold war era microwave satellite dish to hold temp.

Wow. A lot of doubters out there about chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwich is gonna show you a thing or two. In 20 years when they redesign the logo again they're gonna have to rebrand as "Chicken Czar"

I thought the one they had between the Tendercrisp and this new hand breaded one was very bland. Including the spicy.

The Great Twist
I got a double whopper in commercial condition for $2 on Whopper Wednesdays on the app ($1 Regular Whopper, $2 Double, $3 Triple). I added jalapeno cheddar bites for $1 and mozzarella sticks for $1.59. Grand total of $4.59 and I was sick full. I would probably swap out the mozz sticks for more jalapeno poppers next time, but I decided to try both. I got a choice of sauces with the poppers but I didn't ask what options and went with ol' faithful ranch. The mozz sticks come with marinara obviously.

I wouldn't say that it is vomit worthy, but definitely not great. I picture hot marinara with mozz sticks and mostly get them as an appetizer at a bar or something, but for $1.59 they were fine. I ate all four but the poppers went way earlier.

E: My wife just yelled at me and said that I said that they weren't as good as Arby's and she considers Arby's mozz sticks poo poo tier. I stand corrected on edibility. Touche barnold.

before they got rid of it in favor of their popeye's ripoff, the Bacon and Cheese Crispy Chicken was one of my absolute top tier chicken sandys, right there next to the Wendys asiago ranch. i could frequently be heard saying "drat i could really go for a bacon and cheese crispy chicken right now"

I thought it was funny when they cut the amount of nuggets you get but pretended like nothing had happened. All going "you get EIGHT nuggets for $1, wow, what a deal!" When six months ago you got 10.

Probably the same bait and switch routine they did here over the past few-ish years, but I guess my area is ahead of the curve.

"10 nuggets for a dollar! Wow!" (great deal)

(Silently brings it down to 8) "8 for a dollar! Nuggets are back!"

"We have 10 nuggets on the value menu again!" (raises price to a buck fifty hoping no one will notice because its TEN again)

Yeah it's still a great deal, but just a leader to get you in to buy a $2 or whatever beverage that costs them a handful of cents for the cup and less for the drink.

It's still saved me plenty of times for fast cheap food on the go with a small budget (which is what fast food is supposed to be I feel?). In the end, no real complaints here

Just had the spicy ChKing. It wasn't bad. It probably would have been better if I got the plain one. It was huge and crispy. The spicy wasn't too spicy but did have some kick but it was oddly sweet. I don't see myself getting another one. I think the McDonald's new chicken sandwich might be better just due to the spiciness.

They discontinued the jalapeno bites :(. So I got the 10 piece nuggets for $1.49 and I was actually really impressed. The last time I got them they were thin, floppy, dark meat and these actually had a crumbly breading and crispy with all white meat. That's a steal for $1.49.

Overall not a bad meal.

My uncle was helping me with my car today and on the way back from the parts store we stopped and ate at BK. Had a Whopper w/cheese and some fries. Within 20 minutes I had to poo poo and I poo poo again after another hour or so. Once we finished up, I cooled down inside for a few minutes before going to grab a cool shower, it was then that the BK decided it would have the last word about being fully digested. As I stood up from the couch I could feel my stomach and throat clench, this Whopper was coming out the way it went in. Seemingly endless waterfalls of partially digested starch, meat, veg and strawberry orange Mello Yello to give it a nice pinkish hue.

This will be the first and last time eating a Whopper before working above and below a car, in Florida, during the summer.

I should have known better.

I fired one of the BKs near me. I have 2 of them in opposite directions, equidistant.

So I made an app-order one day, and it duplicated my order. I got 2 text alerts from my credit card (i get alerts for all cc dings).

Went to the drive-through, told them my name, and said I think the app doubled my order, and I only needed one of them. Long story short, two different managers told me, "That isn't our app, it is from BK corporate. Either take the double order or go through corporate to get your card refunded."

That seems like a really hosed answer... all they had to do to make me happy was give me one of the orders, and a $10 BK cash card. But nope. "Not our app, not our fault, go through corporate."

Haven't been back to that location in a couple years, now. The other one gets my bidness.

I get that. But they got my money, if they didn't want to refund one of the orders and just given me a gift card, they'd have lost nothing and made a happy customer. They went the other way and ultimately lost a lot of my money, over the years.

it's true, it is a confusing situation. the macdondalds near my house hands out free small meal coupons for basically any small slight so I wonder what the problem with that BK could be
