i used to get the 4 for $4 but they reduced the burg core selections so now im forced into the Biggy Bag. i got it with the chicken blt today and it was pretty good. one note about wendys is their BBQ sauce is insanely terrible - but get this - their spicy honey mustard or whatever is loving bomb. now, is it as good mcd spicy buffalo? not even close, but thats a high bar. really high.

I tried one of the deluxe crispy chicken sandwiches at McD's, and it was better than Wendy's.

Sorry, that's just how it is.

This did not use to be the case, and it was in fact previously the best, absolute top of the class fast food BBQ dip

But then about five? years ago some absolute fucker decided that it'd be better to mix ketchup with ortega-brand taco seasoning and so that's where we are now

It's vile and 100% the second worst decision the company has made after getting rid of the nacho buffet

edit: the exact point of the changeover was when they moved away from the round sauce packages to the McDonald's style rectangular ones, it's been a shitshow for all their sauces since

Yep, I wouldn't have said it before their most recent chicken sandwich revamp. Wendy's is doing better at interesting toppings, but the chicken itself just doesn't hold up as well for me.

when I got them the first few times after the change they were very good, extremely fresh. every time since, less so. i'm assuming new process = takes more time = individual franchises cutting corners

I was wondering if I was just unlucky and getting old fries exclusively but yeah after liking the change, but lately they're worse than ever, even whataburger spicy ketchup doesn't make them edible.

I think I figured out why a local drive-in type place has such good fries- they're fried in beef tallow:pcgaming:

Thinking of picking up some duck fat and frying some "chips" for myself at home. Might have to dig around (no pun intended) for some good heirloom potato varieties

honestly an regular rear end oven does a pretty good job too, but

1) takes forever

2) heating your entire living space in the middle of summer for secondhand french fry

I miss having an air fryer but our big lunky kitchen appliance slot is occupied by a pressure cooker and we use it a lot more often for a lot more things than we did with an air fryer

the Sysco battered french fries that every cheap non fastfood/chain restaurant uses come out loving amazing from an air fryer, sometimes better than when they put the plate on your table at the restaurant.

One of the best kitchen appliances I bought was a combo microwave/air fryer, after I found out those existed and were only about $10 more than the replacement microwave I needed to buy anyway. All the air fryer benefits with no wasted counter space.

You’ll want to mix in some other fat too

These were cooked in a mixture of sunflower, grapeseed and beef dripping. 20% duck fat should be ideal, don’t forget to parboil the chips in alkaline water first.

I got a combo toaster oven/air fryer for the same reason. It does a bunch of other poo poo too, I only use my actual oven if something wont' fit in there.

Had the titular sandwich in grilled format the other day. Not bad. Evocative of when I was sick as a kid and I'd get the grilled McChicken (instead of chicken noodle soup :yum:). The regular grilled chicken sandwich has a weak mustard instead of a mayo-esque sauce and the creamy Ranch is so much more satisfying.

The current grilled chicken sandwich is definitely not as good as it was in the past. Probably from the honey mustard swap to Heinz or w/e.

Most of my life I got the grilled chicken sandwich, in recent years I do the spicy. But I still love grilled chicken sandwiches in general
