Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Biscuit

post #1 of 50

Thread Starter 
It's coming, friends. I have "reserved" a free one for myself next week at the CFA I pass on the way to work every morning. I will eat it, then die of sodium poisoning while at my desk at work later that morning.

This is how I start out a new year, mother fuckers.

How did new sandwiches become such huge events? The idea of reserving a chicken biscuit is bizarre, especially since I've even heard of people camping out overnight like Star Wars nerds to get a double down or some other grease concoction. Camping out for a sandwich? That's a level of devotion I can't wrap my head around.

So...they're serving the spicy chicken that they served for years on a biscuit for breakfast now?

The spicy chicken sandwich is a relatively new one for them. They have only been around here since this summer I believe. And if it is the same piece of chicken but on a biscuit then they don't have a customer in me. The spicy chicken doesn't hold the breading very well and the two or three I tried all fell apart with naked chicken squirting out the back of the sandwich.

It's been a couple years here, and it pretty much looks like the same meat on a biscuit. Woohoo.

If everyone could send their Chicken Biscuits to me in a S.A.S.E. that would be nice.

If Tzu does it, I'll review Womb Raider just for him.

I see no downside to free Chic-Fil-A. But that's probably because I'm 23 and AM GOING TO LIVE FOREVER.

In the midst of this Depression (which I'd maintain it is for working people), there is something about the idea of people placing reservations on and lining up overnight for chicken biscuits that invokes images of souplines

Find a new Chick Fil A. That spicy sandwich is artery clogging perfection over here.

Good god how I miss those days. In a way. I mean, 29 is fucking great and all.

But I so miss the feeling of physical invincibility.

That's two of the three locations. Maybe I will give it another whirl because those instances were within the first month of release.

So far, Wendy's has the best spicy chicken of any of the chains.

Yeah, the CFA spicy chicken sandwich has only been out for about 4-6 months. And this is a smaller version of the chicken patty to fit on the biscuit.

I really like Wendy's chicken sandwich too, but CFA's sandwich has a slow burn that sometimes doesn't hit you until about 10 minutes after you've finished the sandwich. Then you suddenly find yourself trying to find something else to drink.

The "reserving" thing is kind of weird, but it's more just to get a free chicken biscuit. You just log on their site, pick a store, date, and time, and then you get a coupon to pick it up.

Man, I could have sworn it was out longer than that. Anyway, I never found it to be that spicy. I do like Chik-Fil-A's breakfast, though. For a chicken place, they have a great sausage egg and cheese biscuit. Good hashbrowns, too.

Chik Fil A is actually really good, as far as fast food place chicken sandwiches go, theirs are the best. Their grilled chicken sandwich is really good too. I just think marketing the hell out of taking an existing product and putting it on a biscuit is a little silly.

The spicy chicken isn't really all that much better than their normal chicken. You get better results with a little Texas Pete. But I'd gladly go through the motions of "reserving" one of these if I could pick it up on a Sunday.

Lethal? Guys... it's just chicken on a biscuit. This really isn't anything too outrageous or new. Or am I just saying that because I live in the South?

I mean, this just doesn't strike me as "craaaaazy" the way truly absurd shit like Hardee's/Carl's Jr. 'Cheesesteak Burgers' or some of that shit KFC comes up with does.

That, but also this is the only true fast food vice for a lot of people I know who generally should know better, myself included. It's by and large the most unhealthy thing in the diet of otherwise sensible people.

And somehow I think being closed on Sunday works as a marketing gimmick; makes you crazy for the food even more.

Ah, how I used to love Chick-fil-A before I realized their connections to Dobson and Focus on the Family and the amounts of money that get funneled into various places that I don't agree with (like homophobic legislation).

I'm surprised more Chewers don't boycott them.

Also, go do some reading on the lawsuits that have been filed against them by both grunt workers and managers... and the insane, Scientology-lite, manager retreats they run. /shiver

If this is anything like last time I'm going to just outright un-friend every asshat who mentions this on facebook.

I don't know why it sets me into such a rage...something about people taking pictures of the sandwich before they ate it made me really want to burn cities down.

This is a small piece of boneless chicken breast, battered and fried at a high temperature and served on a flaky biscuit. The mind-boggling horror of all that aside, the McRib is literally an undefinable substance.

Christ, you people.

Don't really care, the food is pretty good. I think if 5 Guys was run by the KKK and Neo Nazis I'd still eat there.

I don't know if the Spicy variety will differ greatly from this, here are the nutritional facts for the Chicken Biscuit. And I threw the McRib in there for context.

Chicken Biscuit
420 Calories
19 grams of fat
4.5 from saturated fat
1270 mg (!) of sodium
35 mg of cholesterol

McRib
450 Calories
24 grams of fat
8 from saturated
890 mg of sodium
75 mg of cholesterol

A Nice Juicy Apple
90 calories
0 grams of fat
No sodium
No cholesterol
Keeps doctors away

But you see, Patrick, spices increase the thermogenic potential of the body thus raising caloric output.

Both of these things would kill me, but at least the chicken sounds like it was once organic life.

And if I'm not mistaken, I think the spicy chicken will have more sodium. *puts on sunglasses* Just to pour more salt into the wound. YEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's rare as hell for me to make it to one for breakfast... but they make a damn good spicy chicken sandwich. I don't like that it costs more than the regular sandwich though.

I love spicy chicken sandwich; tried 'em all from Jack-in-the-box to Wendy's, and Chick-fil-A has probably the best rendition of this delicious sandwich. If only the nearest Chick-fil-A isn't about 30 minutes from my workplace, I'd have it more often.
