Cons

Too greasy, Bland, Not at all original

2008

Today McDonald's was giving out their new Southern Style Chicken sandwich, which is a Chick-Fil-A knock off, for free if you purchased a medium drink. In my opinion, this is probably the only way they will get you to eat it! I am probably being a little on the unfair side, because I am comparing this sandwich to Chick-fil-a's original chicken sandwich, but it is a blatant knock-off, so why not. If you are going to copy the best, then you better do a good job, and McDonald's falls flat. They even copied the chicken biscuit for breakfast.

In the pictures of this sandwich, it looks exactly like the Chick-fil-a sandwich, but when you receive it in person, it is nothing like that. It is a bun, with a chicken fillet, and 2 pickles, just like someone else's we know, but that is where the only comparison is. And as a side-note: couldn't they have given you 3 or 4 pickles, did it have to be 2 JUST LIKE CHICK-FIL-A???? Even if I don't compare this sandwich, I was not at all impressed. It was so greasy that the bottom of my bread was soggy. The breading barely had any seasoning to it, making it very bland, and the bun wasn't toasted. Now, I am in no means a McDonald's hater. We eat there every 2 or 3 weeks or so, and I take them as they are, a fast food that really has no quality to their food, but we have 1 up the street, so sometimes stop there for a quick bite, I love their fries (shame on me!) So, I want that to be clear, I just dislike this sandwich. I will also be honest in the fact that Chick-fil-a is my favorite fast food chain, but this isn't a review on chick-fil-a, I have already done one of those. Since this was free day on this sandwich, me and my husband decided to give it a try. Neither one of us liked it, and we wished we had paid and gotten something from the menu we liked. My husband tried the chicken breakfast biscuit and said it was ok, but the chicken tasted a little different. I believe this sandwich is just under $3 alone, not sure about how much a meal is. I would be scared to find out any nutritional info on it, so I am sorry that I don't have that info.

So, if McDonald's decides to give this away again, I won't be sampling it!
