Arby's - Classic Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Grade: 61

I mean... it's alright I guess... but if I'm going to Arby's I'm going for the French Dip, Gyro, or that new hushpuppy breaded fish strips they have for limited time that I've still yet to try, and that's only if they don't have the delicious Wagyu burgers next time I go. When THEY HAVE so many of THE MEATS to choose from they really need to step up their original chicken game to even give it a fighting chance to contend with all their other offerings. Maybe they should've taken a page out of Freddy's book and put their honey mustard on their classic chicken sandwich because I've heard it's pretty good on their chicken bacon Swiss.

Wendy's - Classic Chicken Sandwich

Grade: 64

"Hi, would you like to try the new Loaded Nacho ch-" is how I wish the employee at the speaker greeted me so I could have interrupted with "CLASSIC CHICKEN" instead of "FO FO FO". Sadly the meme potential was lost before it could ever be found. I like that Wendy's is always innovating and testing the market for new ways to tweak their rotational menu. As charon has mentioned somewhere their pretzel bacon pub sandwiches are on point, and while the loaded nacho looks to be a bit much I appreciate that it's there. Unlike McDonald's they are willing to take chances with new items. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, but they're always trying something new. If only they'd try to rework something old because their classic chicken could definitely stand to come out of the 20th century and into the new millennium of brioche buns, signature sauces, and pink mayonnaise because as it stands it's just a relic of the past. It tastes decent, but it's really nothing special. I can't even remember much about it, and, as THE signature chicken sandwich of one of my favorite fast food restaurants, I believe not remembering what makes it special is a sign that it is unworthy of standing out in the crowd.
