Mouthful / Smorgasbord Spicy Chicken Sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 2:26 PM
Mmmmm! Chick-Fil-A launched their Spicy Chicken Sandwiches nationwide yesterday, Monday, June 7. This is a big deal for Chick-Fil-A because the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the first new sandwich to hit menu boards since its Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich, which was introduced in 1989.
The SCS is hand-breaded, seasoned with a blend of peppers, and pressure-cooked in peanut oil. It comes on a toasted bun with dill pickle chips.
CFA was nice enough to drop of a bundle of goodies for us to sample here at Creative Loafing. Check out the spread.
The sandwich did live up to it's name – it was pretty spicy. Some tasters in the office thought it was too spicy to eat, but as someone who enjoys spicy food, I thought it was delicious. After eating 2.5 sandwiches, one taster broke out in a sweat and suffered a slightly runny nose, but still claimed it was very tasty. For those who don't like spicy foods, stick to the original CFA chicken sandwich.
I think we might need to call the fire department... Here's a compilation of comments heard around the office:
"I feel like there's still a small fire burning in my tummy."
"I couldn't finish it ... it was too spicy for me."
"I heard two people say 'Wow, this is hot!' after the first bite and that was enough to scare me off..."
And from spicy food lovers:
"Spicier than I was expecting... way better than the Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's! I liked the spice."
"The spicy was good. Perfect combo with some cole slaw."
The SPS starts at $2.99 and weighs in at 450 calories and 17 grams of fat. The plain sandwich is more substantial than I was expecting with a nice thick piece of chicken. But if you want more, for $3.59 you can get the deluxe version with lettuce, tomato and Pepper Jack cheese.
Thanks, CFA, for the lunch!
