McChicken v Original Chicken Sandwich

The McChicken sandwich is from McDonald’s and the Original Chicken Sandwich is from Burger King. There are two differences that makes them both different.

  • PRICE: The McChicken Sandwich is on McDonald’s Dollar Menu and will come out to be $1.08 when it comes down to it. The Original Chicken Sandwich is on Burger King’s Value Menu as either a combo meal or a la carte. If you buy a la carte, you can look at about $2.75 without tax. But here is something that got McDonald’s beat. If you look on the back of your receipt, there is a number you can call and do a short survey and get a subsidy for the cost of the Original Chicken Sandwich for the next visit.  The survey is about 5 minutes, but it is worth it.
  • TASTE: The taste of the McDonald’s McChicken tastes like the team members caked the patty in Mrs Dash.  And the Original Chicken Sandwich from Burger King tasted actually quite bland if you only get mayonnaise. I usually get dijonnaise for the sandwich which makes it taste a little bit better.

If you have a tight budget, McDonald’s McChicken sandwich (or biscuit) is your best route.  For a price range of $1 in most areas of America, it is a great value. If you are looking for a sandwich that will fill you up, the Original Chicken Sandwich is your route for you. Though there is a possibility that the restaurant that you may go to may not have Dijonnaise sauce, just remember, not all restaurants make their sandwiches the same.
