I got the spicy asiago ranch yesterday on the threads recommendation and yeah it's pretty good.
Also tried out the chocolate frosty-ccino and it's good for the first few sips but then it gets all watery. You basically gotta start sipping the moment you get it otherwise it isn't very good.

Wendy's offering a free baconator when you buy a can of baconator pringles and order with the mobile app. I am not above doing this.



code is on the foil under the lid.

the chips are completely poo poo btw. completely overwhelming smoke taste with only the vaguest of beef and ketchup notes. 2/10, absolute garbage. still, it amounts to a discount baconator.

Definitely the whole reason for the promotion in the first place.

They're certainly the most "not bad" of the fast food fries I've had

Used to be Del Taco's but I feel like the quality has taken a dive in the past year

The Bacon and Blue with blue cheese from a few years back was legit one of the best fast food burgers I have ever had. I wish they'd bring it back, but I bet sourcing the blue cheese crumbles wasn't cheap.

the beer cheese burger / chicken is gross. the pretzel bun is weirdly greasy but the onion rings and cheese dont taste good together.

gonna stick with the thread title because it is the best sandwhich they have. Although i do like the jalapeno chicken sandwhich with no onion rings on it.

I've had versions of that burger elsewhere and they're good. Something is off with the bun and cheese as you mentioned.

Bacon and blu cheese burgers are amazing. Anytime I go to an 'upscale' burger joint I'll always get one.

wendys is replacing their non-spicy chicken sandwich fillets?

anyone tried the new one yet?

quote:

On Thursday, the fast food chain announced that it is releasing a new, “crispier, juicer” chicken sandwich, promising the flavor will make the sandwich “an instant classic,” according to a press release.

The new “Classic Chicken Sandwich” is made with an all-white meat chicken breast and topped with mayo, tomato, lettuce and pickles, according to the announcement.

However, the updated fillet being used on the new sandwich will also be used for all of Wendy’s chicken sandwiches, the announcement said.

curious how it compares, and also whether this will mean changes to the spicy fillets in the future

I probably will try it soon. I like a chicken sandwich but the old one was pretty boring/bland considering the spicy is RIGHT THERE.

i had one, the app gives a coupon for a free one with any purchase

i thought it was ranch sauce, not mayo. the sauce and the pickles were the best part, tasted just like fried pickles at a hipster diner

good sandwich would get one again for free but not paying $4.99 lol

I used to leave work at like 3pm and the "happy hour" (2-5pm?) value menu $1 sliders were all pretty decent. The jalapeno beef and buffalo chicken were my favorite. Do they still do that?

Domo Arigato, Mr Roboto.


Just tried it last night. I went with the Classic Chicken patty, not the Spicy, so bear that in mind. I thought it was pretty good, reasonable amount of heat but not too spicy.

Big Beef City

No fast food item has ever been 'spicy' imo. In terms of heat, not flavor profile that is. Like there has never once been a fast food item created that is actually 'spicy hot', and I don't mean 'Dave's Insanity Sauce' levels of power, here. I mean they just don't exist. This sad situation goes beyond poor Wendy, I'm afraid.
Granted it's because a lot of Westerners simply balk at the idea of taco bell hot sauce apparently, but it would be cool to see an actual firey menu item make it down the line if for no other reason than to break the dam, as it were. Get people conditioned to the heat a bit.

I know tons of people in the US who want hot poo poo at fast food places, it’s not a “westerners” thing, it’s more a fast food place doesn’t want someone completely overestimating their spice tolerance and having a freak out about it.

If you can put a hot warning on a cup of coffee to legally excuse you for 3rd degree burns to the customer, I don't see how you couldn't do the same for spicy products.

Do they think it would be a media disaster if someone ate the spicy thing and then complained about it on twitter or facebook? The crab-bucket of social media commentators would roast the customer for being a baby about spicy foods. Incessantly.

Wendy's spicy chick has been a go to of mine for drat near twenty years. i have ordered one other thing besides a frosty in that time frame--a nasty, wet baconator when those came out. quickly went back to the queen. it hits just right whether you're kinda hungry or starving. i didn't live near one for a long time. now that I'm back in civilization it's taken some time to build the habit back up but I had it twice in the last two weeks and it's calling again

Wendy's new Crispy panko Fish Sandwich is probably the best fast food fish sandwich despite switching from Cod to Pollock this year. The tartar sauce is herby and delicious and the fish has a nice crunch and good flavor. A++ Will buy again.

Try the jalapeno popper spicy chicken, it's got a good amount of jalapenos and the cream cheese works well.

That said, agreed, regular spicy chicken is my go to selection. 2 for $5? Yes please and thank you.
