Many customers have grown to appreciate Chicken Bakes for their convenience and"tasty"flavor.
But do the frozen versionstasteas good as the fresh ones?
I set out to answer that question for by comparing the two in a taste test.

They say the new version is smaller, contains less filling, and is overall less satisfying.
“They’re still good.
The crust had been baked super well-done and was covered in a generous layer of caramelized cheese.

The interior had a decent amount of filling, but looked somewhat dry.
It weighed in at 330 grams on my kitchen scale.
The taste:Comforting and decently tasty, but not without its flaws.

On the other hand, the texture of the filling left a little to be desired.
The chicken was chopped sort of finely.
I would have much preferred big, juicy pieces of poultry.

The filling was also slightly dry and had more of a goopy than saucy feel to it.
Overall, the food court Chicken Bake is enjoyable yet far from perfect.
I wouldn’t necessarily expect anything better than this for just $3.99.

Unlike the food court iteration, the frozen variety had bits of green onion distributed throughout the filling.
The taste:This frozen version fell short in almost every way.
But I still couldn’t stomach more than a couple of bites.
