Regardless of its godawful title, I appreciated the Ch’King. Whereas it wasn’t Popeyes-level scrumptious (I imply, what’s), it was higher than many different quick meals hen sandwiches. However, as with my appreciation for McDonald’s short-lived Arch Deluxe, I used to be within the minority and the Burger King fats cats 86’d it. So it goes. As an alternative is the Royal Crispy Rooster line, which, I assume is “Royal” due to the entire “King” factor.
Between us, it simply appears to be a reasonably normal hen sandwich patty.
First, I’ll inform you some issues I appreciated about Burger King’s new Italian Royal Crispy Rooster Sandwich.
The hen patty was fairly giant. Two of its edges hung off the facet of the bun, which, as everyone knows, is a typically agreeable high quality in a hen sandwich. (Properly, okay, supplied you need to really EAT stated hen patty.)
Additional, this massive hen patty was not dry. I’d cease wanting calling it juicy, however I’ve had a lot drier hen patties from the King and his many opponents.
And at last, the “marinara sauce” that flippantly adorned the sandwich was undoubtedly recognizable as an Italian crimson sauce, and never similar to ketchup with some oregano.
That’s it. These have been the three issues I appreciated: the large piece of hen wasn’t bone dry and it had a bit Prego on it.
Not precisely a ringing endorsement, I do know. However then once more, if I didn’t prefer it, I assume I shouldn’t give it a ringing endorsement, proper?
Right here’s my important grievance with this hen sandwich: it was utterly uninspired. Sure, it was problematic that the execution and elements have been lackluster; the big-and-not-dry patty was bland and void of any actual taste; the marinara was indistinguishable from a jarred grocery store spaghetti sauce; and the lengthy slice of mozzarella was, for lack of a greater phrase, floppy and tasted like white American cheese.
However other than the poor elements, have been we as shoppers actually clamoring for one more burger baron’s tackle an Italian hen sandwich? It seems like everybody trots theirs out each couple of years and none of them are ever very properly obtained, and so they finally fade into the misplaced land of LTOs, the place they silently stay for a handful of years earlier than bursting again onto the scene with an un-triumphant flourish.
I imply, if you happen to’re gonna do it, perhaps attempt one thing attention-grabbing like Wendy’s with its Deep Fried Mozzarella Disc. Or what about doing one thing with Alfredo sauce as an alternative? But additionally, do I actually need to eat Alfredo sauce from Burger King? And why am I asking so many questions?!
Ultimately, this sandwich will fade from reminiscence, simply because the universe meant. If you happen to appreciated it, I’m sorry. Take solace in the truth that it is going to be again once more in a yr or two, simply the way in which you remembered it.
