Review: Wendy's Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Wendy was a late comer to the value-priced chicken sandwich arena; I think Carl's Jr, Jack in the Box, Burger King, and McDonald's all had it in some form or another before them.  It's funny because Wendy's Super Value Menu is the first $1 value menu I remember.

The generically but descriptively named Crispy Chicken Sandwich features a fairly sizable breaded chicken patty made of mechanically separated white meat, one leaf of iceburge lettuce, and a bit of  mayo for 99 cents.  

I thought Wendy's Crispy Chicken Sandwich was pretty good.  As I've mentioned before, I like the little bit of sweetness to the Wendy's bun and the patty was very crispy.  Also, the patty is noticeably bigger than the McChicken which is nice.  Plus, Wendy's is within walking distance of my house.

To provide a counterpoint, the sister-in-law does not like the Wendy's egg bun; she thinks it too thick and dense and prefers the McChicken the best out of all value-priced chicken sandwiches.

In the end though, honestly, I would just go with whatever was closest; while there's some slight variations between each brand's chicken sandwich, they're still by and large the same thing or at least close enough for me.
