It's available in a Munchie Meal with 2 Tacos, an order of "Halfsie fries"(half seasoned curly fries and half regular fries), and a 20-ounce fountain beverage for $6 or a la carte for $4.
The breading on the chicken and mozzarella cheese sticks were nice and crisp without being too oily, giving the sandwich a decent all-around crunch. The lettuce also adds a fresh crispness to the mix.
The chicken patty is pretty middling as far as value chicken patties go and is comparable in both taste and quality to the ones you can get at the supermarket.
Between the cheese and the cheese sauce there's a lot of creamy cheesiness but only light flavors, which makes the whole sandwich come off as a little plain. The cheese sauce wasn't quite the promised explosion, but that might vary depending on who's making your sandwich.
Overall, the Exploding Cheesy Chicken Sandwich delivers on the cheese but lacks a bold flavor component to set it off. I ended up asking for some salsa and received a cup of the stuff that goes with their Fajita Pita. It's a bit like marinara and gave my sandwich that missing pep. Other things to try would be to get it with jalapenos and/or to stuff some potato wedges inside.

When prompted on how the sandwich was, The Woman had this to say, "This just makes me feel like I'm getting fatter... but I'm not enjoying it."
