I spotted them early at my local restaurant and had to try them.
Plus, chicken is forecasted to be big for the chain this year.
Since this is the first chicken innovation of 2023, it’s an exciting release.

How did the new McCrispy sandwiches stack up?
I enlisted one other taster to try the new itemsand there’s one we’d get again.
The look:McDonald’s, we have a problem.

I get that this was an early release of the sandwich but it was still odd.
This is a testament to the chicken used, which looked delicious.
The taste:Unfortunately, this sandwich fell flat because it just didn’t have enough of anything.

The image shows ranch sauce on both sides, which this didn’t have.
It only had a small squirt in the middle.
Overall, this sandwich was just too dry and not a worthy upgrade.

It was in a proper box that kept all of the ingredients on top of the sandwich.
Bacon draped enticing over the side and the lettuce and tomato gave it attractive height.
Plus, we could see that this had more sauce than the other.

The roll was soft and fresh and held up to all the ingredients.
The lettuce was perfectly crisp and shredded in a way that it didn’t spill out of the sandwich.
The Roma tomatoes were delicious with the coating of ranch.
We would definitely get this one again.
Yes, that’s it.
The look:The pale lemon-colored drink looked refreshing with little bits of lemon swirled throughout.
It had the perfect balance of sweet and subtle tartness and it tasted super clean.
There was no cloying aftertaste and it was significantly lighter than a soda.
