Review: Burger King - Original Chicken Sandwich

Burger King's Original Chicken Sandwich is Burger King's basic chicken sandwich consisting of a chicken patty on a bun with shredded iceberg lettuce and mayo. Burger King throws it up just a tad by making it a sub-style sandwich instead of a burger shape. It'll run you $3.99 but Burger King is currently running a promotion where it's buy one, get one for free.

Salty! I got a particularly salty Chicken Sandwich; it was saltier than the second one that I gave to The Sister. While the chicken patty was fairly thick and present in every bite, it wasn't particularly crisp or crunchy. It is made of formed ground white meat chicken and was moist but not juicy.
My lettuce was crap as well; mostly yellow and wilted. It did not taste so great but I still ate it. At least I didn't have stomach problems from eating it right? Can you tell I don't like to waste food?
One the plus side, at least they wasn't too much mayo. Well, either that or the saltiness from my extra salty patty negated any excess mayo. The bun also had a nice, squishy softness.
For what you get, the Original Chicken Sandwich should really be a $1.99 sandwich. At the end of the day, for $3.99, I'd rather either get a Tendercrisp or if I'm going for value a 99 cent Chick'N Crisp at BK.
