My 9 year old son loves these boneless chicken patties. When I showed him this "sandwich"... he drooled! Chicken, bacon and cheese... 3 of his most favorite foods! The only thing he'll want to change is to not put the pepper jack cheese on it.
I'd like it too, except I don't do the MSG thing anymore.

This is an Atkins diet dream - if you choose the grilled option and skip the sauce loaded with fat, sodium and God knows what else. Just two grilled chicken breasts with some cheese and bacon - I think without the sauce, you'll easily save 120 cal and a good portion of the fat content.
I'd actually try the grilled option without the sauce, but it's hard to get me through KFC without a cob of corn, and those things are butter-soaked nightmares.

Ugh, I'm grossed out... but not by the sandwich, just by the thought of cheese on Original Recipe Chicken.
Seems like they're making a big push for car-edible food... both this sandwich and that new boneless breast they're selling are very convenient for eating while driving.

It isn't very big. An hour later, I don't feel all that crappy, and have only been to the bathroom once.
It was somewhat tasty, but not all that great. The bacon didn't really add anything, and I think the cheese is there to get the two sides to stick together. Mine seemed freshly made, and was nice and hot, but the breading steams up under the wrapper. The cheese that was hanging out the sides I just tore off and didn't eat.
Definitely way too salty. I didn't "combo" it or have anything with it, although by itself, it really isn't enough lunch. So, I got a little nigiri plate from the to-go sushi place to get some nice fish oils in my system, along with some starch

It was a "once in a lifetime." But you know, even if it goes down as a failure, if they serve 100,000,000 of them because a bunch of people want to try them once or twice, and maybe some of them like em and eat them more often, that's $500,000,000 of revenue, plus the sides/drinks.

I might try this, but really it cant hold a candle to the Windows 7 Burger that was sold at Burger King in Tokyo around Win7 Launch. It was essentially a 7 layer Wopper (800g of beef). A couple buddies and I went and ate them. I felt so sick, it was like a bowling ball sitting in my stomach. Also, it was super mega Xtreme greasy and got really really dry after about half. Stated to taste like paper.
