Burger King – Spicy Chick’n Crisp
Price: $1.00
Ingredients: Lettuce, sesame seed bun, deep fried chicken patty, mayo
Nutrition: 450 Calories, 30g fat, 810mg sodium
Dollar menu chicken scares me. The McChicken is not all that bad (did I just say that?), so I decided to give this a try.
Man, this thing is horrible. Too much mayo, too much bun and the chicken is horrible. I am glad that Burger King didn’t call this a sandwich or a fried chicken fillet. The chicken patty was so thin, I couldn’t even tell it was chicken. It did have a little bit of a kick, so I will give it that.
Would I Buy it Again? No. For $1.00, you can get a Whopper Jr. or a Double Cheeseburger. Both of those are far better choices if you are at Burger King and only have a dollar.
The Good:
Chicken for $1.00
It was spicier than I thought it would be.
The Bad:
Had the thickness of a deep fried credit card.

I am laughing at the apostrophe in the word chick’n. Couldn’t afford the “e” – what the hell is up with that.
Thanks for the review, will be sure to avoid it.
-PS what is up with over mayo-ing sandwiches. I am certainly not a mayo fan but seriously? Do people actually like that much mayo that chains continue to slather it on like that? ICK.
Personally, I LOVE mayo (I don’t eat it anymore though because of how fatty it is) and would always put a ton of mayo on my sandwiches when I would make them at home. I’m sure there are a ton of people out with that same love of mayo and that’s what these restaurants are responding to.
This isn’t the greatest but for a buck it fine. It’s a good partner for a $1 Whopper Jr. $2 and change for both and I’m set for a few hours.
LOL@ “deep fried credit card”
And I have a theory about the apostrophe in “chik’n”. I’ll bet the meat is not really chicken, so they’re cleverly getting away with making you THINK it’s chicken without actually SAYING it’s chicken. Chik’n is actually a product made from boiled chicken bones, ground up and mixed with MSG, cardboard pulp, and floor sweepings. It’s then pressed ultra-thin, breaded, and shipped to Burger King restaurants around the world!
But seriously, folks…. I’m glad you warned me about this. It’s been on my “I’ll try it soon” list for a while now, and I’m glad I got a heads-up. For my money, I’ll always go with a McChicken or a double cheese from BK or McD’s.
Ooo. This is do-able. So if I eat my credit-card(s) deep fried, that makes the debt go away, right?…..right??
I’m not a fan of mayo at all, so I wouldn’t know. Still, I would guess BK must have the same issue they have with mustard. They tend to over do it on everything they put it on, and it looks as if they do it with mayo as well.
I’ve had these sandwiches before, and they aren’t all that bad. I obviously order them with no mayo, tear the extra bun overhang off, and add a little bit of ketchup. If I’m at home when I eat them, I’ll crank them up with a little ketchup and hot sauce.
I was with you until the ketchup. Don’t get me wrong…I like ketchup, but on chick’n? Yuck!
I had one of these this week while on a long drive…I didn’t feel like dropping $5 on a sandwich, so I ordered two of these (I had three hours left in my drive). I ate one and wasn’t hungry for the rest of the trip. I reheated the other one the next day. They were both tasty, though the reheated one was lacking that freshly-cooked taste. Overall, I was impressed with the value for $1.
Also, these were pretty safe to eat while driving. I did get a lettuce-mayo drip, but fortunately it landed between my legs and I didn’t even notice it until I was preparing to get out of the car.
I think the “Chick’N” is a sad attempt to appeal to their main market (18-34 year-old males) with some sort of “cool” factor. Also, the spelling makes it easier for them to get a registered trademark on “Chick’N Crisp.” I don’t know why they bothered though, it doesn’t really tie into the BK brand like the McChicken does for McDonald’s.
