Chick-fil-A Chicken Deluxe Sandwich Review:

Price Paid: $3.69 | Company: Chick-fil-A
I don’t think I could have made this chicken sandwich look any better than it already is. High-quality ingredients can be found from bun to chicken, but does that measure up to good flavor and value? Read on to find out.

Look:
The CFA deluxe chicken sandwich comes in three cheese choices, yellow American, Colby Jack, or Pepper Jack; I settled for the pepper jack. The bun on this sandwich looks awesome, buttered and toasted. Beautifully green lettuce with two slices of tomato. Melted pepper jack cheese sits atop a fried chicken breast. I was really impressed with the quality of this sandwich. Great eye-appeal, if not the best compared to all the other fast food chicken sandwiches. Oh yeah, I went there. The ingredients are:

Taste (8.0/10):
When I look at Chick-fil-A’s deluxe chicken sandwich on their website, the way they build the sandwich is completely different than what I got. It’s supposed to be (top to bottom) bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, chicken, and pickles. As you can see above, the sandwich I got doesn’t look like that, which caused the chicken to be soggy. No one likes soggy chicken. Am I right? The lettuce although beautiful was wet (they didn’t dry it) washing out the flavor. This could have been an isolated issue, however, I have to review it based on my experience.

I think the pickles overpower all of the ingredients, stealing the show. I get a little spice from the cheese and chicken. A creamy aftertaste from the cheese follows through after each bite. I wasn’t a fan of the Pepper Jack cheese… I want to update this post with the two other kinds of cheese they offer (American and Colby).

Value (9.3/10):
Although this sandwich failed on the execution aspect, I still think it is of great quality and value. For that reason, it was given an excellent on our value scale. Where else can you find a hand-breaded fried chicken breast with an option of three cheese choices? Excellent looking lettuce and two slices of tomato for under 4 bones? Sign me up!
