Review: Jack in the Box - Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Jack in the Box's Spicy Chicken Sandwich is very similar to the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich and features a spicy, crispy filet, topped with lettuce, tomato, and their mayo-onion sauce on a sesame seed bun for $3.69 (compared to Wendy's $3.99).

Jack's Spicy Chicken Sandwich was a bit of an oddity for me. Yes, it was spicy... but at the same time, it lacked in other flavors. It was like they seasoned it with chili powder, a little salt and not much else. At the very least, they usually throw in a bit of garlic or onion powder but I didn't really taste any of that here. So yeah, it was kinda weird.
Beyond that, the rest of the ingredients were fairly standard; no surprises. The chicken was crunchy but overcooked and a bit dry as a result. It is an an actual breast filet but a bit thin on this occasion (I'm assuming chicken breast filets will vary in general).

Overall, this was a miss for me.
