Rally's Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
What I Ate: Rally’s (known as Checkers in some parts of the country) Buffalo Chicken Sandwich $1
I absolutely LOVE food that has the buffalo sauce flavor and when you mix that with a sandwich that costs only $1 (currently on a promotion; I believe regular cost is $1.49), you basically have me at hello. This one checks in at 340 calories, so it’s not a complete punch to the health stomach.
The Rally’s Buffalo Chicken sandwich is a nice sized, breaded chicken patty served on their traditional sesame seed bun with lettuce and ranch dressing. The buffalo sauce used has got quite a flavorful and spicy kick to it and when I did a little research on Rally’s website, I found out that they use Franks Red Hot® buffalo wing sauce as their sauce, and if you’ve ever had Frank’s before, you would know that is the source of the kick. You’ve got to hand it to Rally’s…they have no shame about not having anything proprietary and instead use other people’s products on their food. First, there was the chicken wings review that I did where I was convinced that they were using the same Tyson frozen chicken wings that you can buy at the grocery store (unconfirmed) and now they are openly flaunting the fact that they use Frank’s sauce for their buffalo chicken products. While the restaurant may lose points for originality, anything that makes the food taste better definitely gets my seal of approval.
Would I Buy It Again? Yes, but only because it’s a dollar and I love buffalo sauce. If they would switch to blue cheese dressing instead of ranch dressing (not a big fan of ranch), this would become an absolute must have for me.

“…they have no shame about not having anything proprietary and instead use other people’s products on their food.” – Haha. I think they tout the use of Frank’s because it’s a popular item.
I was going to say the EXACT same thing about the Ranch and bleu cheese. Did they not have some to dip?
I never asked but I would guess they do have some blue cheese since they also sell wings now.
This always confuses me when places don’t even offer Bleu Cheese with Buffalo flavored options. It’s never even an option to eat Ranch with Buffalo for me.
I think that BC should be standard with anything buffalo and then an opt out for Ranch. For $1.00, it is not a bad deal. You can get $5 of them instead of a $5 foot long. Now we are talking.
Oh boy, I’m gonna get decapitated for this one…I don’t like bleu cheese with my wings. I get ranch, and I know how blasphemous it is. I just don’t care for bleu cheese.
Looks like a good deal for the sandwich. I wish I had a Rally’s in my city! I LOVE their fries.
Adam I’m with you! But I’m worse I just like my wings plain. I’m a purist
I am about 1/2 and 1/2 to an order. I dip some of them and others I coat. It all depends on how good the sauce is.
