I bought one for $4.19.
The chicken filet was juicy with a thin, crispy shell which I find much preferable to the over-battered Super Crunch Chicken Strips. The filet had a fair bit of heat to it and had it taken to the next level with the sweet habanero sauce.
The tomato and lettuce were fresh and like most fast food produce, relatively unobtrusive.
Overall, Sonic's Island Fire Chicken Sandwich was a nice twist on the ubiquitous fast food spicy chicken sandwich with an enjoyable sweet and tangy punch to it.

If you ever want to see the pinnacle of stupidity go through a Mcdonalds drive-thru. It's the SAME MENU, go online or do whatever you have to, to figure out what you want before you go there. Also stop going to the drive thru to order $40 worth of food, you're holding up my $3 order.
ReplyDeleteAgreed with everything you said. Does anyone not know what Mcdonalds serves? Decide before you get to the order board! It drives me insane when someone pulls up and says they need some time to decide. Way to hold everyone else up.
ReplyDeleteI believe they are adding this to speed up order times. Lots of drive-thru restaurants like Wendy's and Del Taco (maybe McD's too) have the visible timer clock ticking away while you wait for your order. When they have you pull ahead, that's usually to keep your order time low, which makes corporate happy. They are all about speed. This should probably improve efficiency also by not having to send an employee outside every time there is an order back up.
ReplyDelete98% of the time I go to a fast food restaurant, I know what I want beforehand. However, a lot of people don't have access, time, or the desire to browse an online menu. With the ever-changing menu options, sometimes even I like to browse for a moment. I think a little bit of time to look things over is okay, as long as it's not five minutes of back and forth which I'm sure we've all experienced.
ReplyDeleteMy problem with fast food chicken sandwiches in general is that they always seem to be on the smaller side, but this one in particular looks really small (especially for the price). It looks kind of close in size to those Ciabatta Jack sandwiches at Long John Silver's, and those are less than half the price.
ReplyDeleteIt *is* pretty small, especially given the price. But I had a buy-one-get-one-free coupon and couldn't eat two of them, even without fries, so they're pretty filling.
ReplyDeleteGo inside the restaurant, stand behind the line and gawk all you like. No need for you to hold up the whole drive through.
ReplyDeletePicked up a can this morning and can't stop munching on them. Not overly flavored, but just the right amount that doesn't take away the flavor of the almond.
ReplyDeleteI like to get an order of cheddar peppers (a.k.a. jalapeno poppers) and substitute the new "island fire" sauce for the ranch that they come with... it makes a great dipping sauce. (Especially seeing as how Sonic's cheddar peppers, while still good, aren't spicy enough for me.) I haven't even tried this sandwich, but I know I really like the island fire sauce.
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy.. but didn't they do the 2-window thing years ago? Some places still have an unused 2nd window.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit you fat fuck. Guess what, if I want to randomly browse the menu and it delays your 2000 calorie feast for 1.47 minutes, such is life.
ReplyDeleteCan you get these in Canada?
ReplyDeleteI would lean towards guessing no, but I couldn't say for sure.
