This Thursday (05-15-08) McDonalds is giving away their new Southern Chicken Sandwich, breakfast or lunch, with the purchase of a large drink. I tried the chicken sandwich yesterday, the first time I have purchased McDonalds in about a year, and it was pretty good. It tastes better than it looked. I don't think McDonalds will break into Chick-fil-A's market at all. Sure, with the free sandwiches they will garner a honeymoon effect like they did with the release of their new coffee. Here's why, although the sandwich was good it fell short in the healthy catagory.
Chick-fil-A uses a whole wheat bun. The oil they use to fry the chicken with use to be Canola oil, wich is healthier than most oils. Chic-fil-A is healthier than most of the fried fast foods you will visit.
So, in McDonalds defense, the sadwich was good. I may eat it again if it were free. I dont usually eat white bread. The Coke, fries and icecream are delish at McDonalds. I havent had much at Chick-fil-A that I dont like.
In conclusion, I dont think McDonalds is going to give Truett Cathy a run for his money on the chicken sandwich. I just dont see it, or taste it.
