As proof, here's the full ingredients list. A spicy sauce replaces the mayo, except that the spicy "sauce" is actually just a spicy mayo. The lettuce and tomato, mercifully, are gone.
Structurally, there's not much different here.

I'm not quite sure how to take this statement as "it" is ambiguous and if that's intentional then "it" seems like it could mean something sexual, which is very, very weird, McDonald's.
"This sandwich was made for those who like it crispy, juicy, tender and hot," says McDonald's. I call this maneuver the "De-Deluxe." The McDonald's Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich The lettuce, limp from the heat of the fried chicken, tastes strangely tangy.Ī little more than halfway through the sandwich, I remove the bun, slide off the tomato, shake off the lettuce, and eat the chicken patty. The mayo helps a little, but the tomatoes-which McDonald's advertises are the "Roma" variety-are mealy and tasteless. It's basically the same damn chicken sandwich as the first chicken sandwich. So there are pickles on the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, but not on the Deluxe Crispy Chicken Sandwich-perhaps because McDonald's doesn't think we can handle it. One gram, but still?Ī somewhat minor note: For whatever reason, "deluxe" does not include pickles. The ingredients mimic those of the Crispy Chicken Sandwich-same bun, same chicken patty-and for whatever reason the mayo also has sugar in it. The sandwich carries 570 calories, 27g protein, 47g carbs (2g fiber, 10g sugar), and 26g fat.

The McDonald's Deluxe Crispy Chicken SandwichĪs any fast-food veteran knows, "deluxe" means, "Hey, look, we put some vegetables on this thing."įor a mere $1.20 upgrade from the base model you'll find some thin slices of kinda-red tomatoes and a scattering of shredded lettuce likely borrowed from the same bin that's used to dress the Big Macs. It's well-seasoned, not overly breaded, and deeply savory (perhaps due to a secret ingredient: Monosodium Glutamate, aka MSG).Įxcept that the rest of the sandwich, adorned with only three warmed-over pickles, and stuffed between two sickly sweet buns, doesn't honor the chicken.ĭespite McDonald's marketing assurances that the sandwich is "juicy"-surprise!-it's dry.Īt $4, it leaves you feeling slightly shortchanged and scrambling for some mayonnaise. The chicken itself actually tastes pretty great. "Sugar" is its fifth ingredient-even before salt. If you unfurl the lengthy ingredients list for the sandwich on the company's website, you'll notice that McDonald's shoves sugar into not only the bun, but also the breaded chicken. While 470 calories isn't anything shocking-and 27 grams of protein is pretty dang close to the 30 we recommend you consume at each meal to build muscle and stay full-it's evident that there's a hefty dose of empty carbohydrates in this sandwich.Īnd, hold up, nine grams of sugar in a chicken sandwich? Like, the same amount of sugar that's in two Oreo cookies? This sandwich contains 470 calories, 27 grams (g) protein, 45g carbohydrates (1g of which is fiber, and 9g of which are sugar). KFC and Taco Bell are also players, and many of these companies are now feuding with each other on Twitter because this is 2021, nearly a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, and we all need something to distract us from the lonely hellscape of our deep, largely unacknowledged, collective depressive state. It's as if McD's, with its trio of new sandwiches, has chosen a weapon each in the fight against the big guns of the fried chicken sandwich game: Wendy's, Popeyes, Chick-fil-A. They've been working on their new creation for "years," according to a press release, and even created a capsule collection with record producer Tay Keith that includes the limited-edition McDonald's Crispy Chicken Sandwich hoodie and the exclusive audio track (on 7" vinyl!) that everyone has been so desperately asking for. Yet they've done so today, and, to say the least, McDonald's is HYPED. For all the pomp surrounding fast food "plant-based" burgers and breakfast sandwiches, you might not think that McDonald's next move would be to release not one, but three, new chicken sandwiches.
