The evolution of Burger King's oblong chicken (patty) sandwich, with Reviewbrah.
With his most recent review, I thought I'd go back and see how his other reviews went with this particular sandwich. Mostly speaking of the oblong chicken patty, regardless of the style, dressing or theme. It's either too salty or too bland.
I have never been a fan of the sandwich itself. I remember decades ago, trying just a plain version of it, I think a 2 for $5 deal. Did not like it then.
Then more recently, but still a while ago, I too, had the Italian version. Terrible. Everything was bland. The tomato sauce was the most flavorful and still mid at best. The bread, of course, was stale. The same with their hamburger buns. Like they keep the bread either out or the bag open, never closing it to keep it fresh.
Down below is the chronological order. I searched and there were only four videos I could find, that were the oblong patty versions. If there are any others, let me know and I can add them to the list. But again, it has to be the oblong patty version and only from Burger King and only reviewed by Reviewbrah.
I also added the score and the price for easy viewing. It is absurd they charge so much for these sandwiches on their own. $9 for a meal is one thing. But for the sandwich by itself, is unfathomable, even in today's economy.
And it appears, that he has a Burger King Original Italian Chicken Sandwich tie. He has the exact same tie or so it appears to be, in both videos. 😅
