The McCrispy is a rebranding of McDonald’s Crispy Hen Sandwich, and it’s a significantly better title than the wordy and generic Crispy Hen Sandwich, which additionally occurs to be the title for Burger King’s traditional hoagie-length rooster sandwich. If you happen to missed it, the title change occurred a couple of weeks in the past, however the first new addition to the renamed line is the Bacon Ranch McCrispy.
It includes a crispy rooster filet, applewood smoked bacon, crinkle lower pickles, buttermilk ranch sauce, and a toasted potato roll. There’s a Deluxe model that additionally contains Roma tomatoes and shredded lettuce.
Full disclosure: I assumed the Crispy Hen Sandwich was a mediocre, bland providing, so learn this evaluation with that in thoughts. So why am I reviewing this? As a result of I wished to know if bacon can really make all the things higher. With that stated, this new selection is barely higher in some methods and barely much less so in others.
The fillet is noticeably skinnier than what I had with the Crispy Hen Sandwich. That one put the “fill” in fillet. However the one on this makes the unhappy McChicken patty look substantial. Whereas it was thinner, the meat was tender and considerably juicy. Additionally, regardless of sitting in its foil bag for a number of minutes and beneath lights for a number of extra minutes whereas I took the pictures on this evaluation, the breaded exterior nonetheless had some crispiness. Whereas this fillet’s thickness doesn’t match what I skilled with the unique Crispy Hen Sandwich, they share a typical attribute — blandness. It’s the explanation why I used to be so disenchanted with the unique.
So thank the quick meals gods for the pickles, ranch, and bacon as a result of they compensated for the fillet’s lack of taste. The pickles and ranch mixture is a winner, with the pickles including a tanginess that enhances the creamy ranch sauce. As for the bacon, some had been crispy, and others had been chewy, however all supplied smoky, porky goodness. Additionally, my order got here with sufficient slices to nearly blanket the rooster. Bacon does make this sandwich higher, however the pickles and ranch sauce do extra to perform that.
General, I preferred McDonald’s Bacon Ranch McCrispy, due to the toppings. It’s first rate sufficient that I’d in all probability order it once more or strive the Deluxe model.
Additionally, there’s one last item concerning the title. I’m disenchanted that McDonald’s used the title McCrispy for a rooster sandwich as a result of it hurts my thought of getting a product referred to as McCrispies, which might be a clamshell container of these brief crunchy French fry shards that find yourself on the backside of fry sleeves that might be used as a sandwich or dessert topping.
