Cardboard Chicken at the BK Lounge

There's a reason it's called Burger King, not Chicken King.

Tonight at the BK Lounge in search for a dollar menu item, I made a rather grave and risky decision: I got a Spicy Chicken Sandwich. The conversation started as many of mine have in the past few days, "What do you have for a $1?" The employee listed them off and one in particular caught my attention. The Rodeo Burger.....after a brief description of burger, cheese, onion rings and BBQ sauce I decided it sounded like a $1 stomach ache so I passed.

Their menu is "extensive" however the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the only item that seemed decent.

I pulled through the window, paid my dollar and was handed a tiny little brown bag with what appeared to be a chicken sandwich inside.

I unwrapped and much to my dismay there was lettuce and mayo on with the chicken. (This, I believe is a strange combination). The picture above looks delightful doesn't it? Don't be fooled. The lettuce wasn't entirely green and was cut into huge chunks. the mayo was slopped on all over the place and the "chicken" was sliding over to the side trying desperately to hang on to the bun.

Speaking of the "chicken"....I'm not sure it was chicken as it was about the size of my fist and it was as thick as 6 pieces of notebook paper. Trust me, this chicken was thin. As I examined it a little more closely I almost backed out, I didn't want to go through with it. But, I had too.

So....it tasted like a spicy piece of cardboard coated in mayo and topped with lettuce. The chicken was smaller than the bun (which wasn't very big as it is) and I was able to pull the bun apart and get rid of the excess bun along with mayo/lettuce.

I ended up choking the whole thing down, but I wasn't too thrilled. I would have rather ate my dollar.
