McDonald's Southern style chicken

I've never had Southern style chicken, so I wasn't sure what to expect. That said, it didn't live up to my expectations. It was really plain. Also, for 3 bucks, can't they put more than 2 small pickle slices on each sandwich?

What surprises me is that McDonalds isn't actually as cheap as people make it out to be. I thought that, for fast food, it was the epitome of cheap. Some burgers cost something like $3-4. Not that it's expensive, but if I wanted to spent $4 on a burger from a fast food joint I'll go to Burgerville.

We've had this sandwich here for over a year - I think we were a test market.

It's McDonald's version of a Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich.

It tastes OK, but you definitely have to add mayo.

You had high expectations? From McDonald's? A chicken sandwich? Really?

Exactly what I thought, it tastes a lot like a Chick-Fil-A.

I actually kind of like it....but I'm likely in the minority.

Actually, if you look at what I wrote, I said I didn't really have any expectations, and somehow the sandwich still didn't measure up. It can be tough to disappoint someone that isn't really expecting anything, but somehow, this sandwich disappointed me.

I like Chik-Fil-A's version much better - and CFA's grilled sandwich is a far better option than the fried version anyway.

I had a coupon to get it for free. thankfully I didn't have to pay for the experience.

The original Chik Fil A version does not use mayo either. There is a toasted bun, 2 slices of pickle and a splash of butter.

The idea is that the flavor is in the spiced, fried crust of the chicken breast.

I have tried both and I think the McDonald's version is fine. But I think it tastes better with the english muffin bun, instead of regular bun.

It's pretty decent as a breakfast sandwich inside a biscuit. Although the idea of chicken for breakfast is still rather strange to me...

Ya, I can get better meals from a local diner for a dollar or two less than chick fila, and it tastes better to boot. Not to mention at chick fila you have to pat down the nuggets/strips or chicken breasts with a napkin because they are so greasy.
