KFC's Cheeto Chicken Sandwich: What Do You Think? (1 Viewer)

I'm not gonna eat that.

I still put a layer of chips, Fritos, or pretzels in my sandwich to add a crunch factor. I find it weird when someone acts as though that crunch layer is weird.

South Park needs to make a Cheesy Poof mock show about this.

I’m usually one to give in to fast food gimmicks and while I'm not opposed to the concept presented here I don’t have faith in any of my local KFC establishments to execute this properly and it would just end up leaving me sad a disappointed
Definitely not going out of my way to try

Fair point. This feels like one of those things where the actual version you get of this in Cleveland doesn't look much like the pictures. I mean, they never really do that much but the potential for disparity here seems high.

I don't have a problem with crunch, and I'll put chips on a sandwich every now and then. This cheeto thing just looks gross.

I'll pass. Seems like something kids would go after though.

I love my bagel with cream cheese and a layer of hot Cheetos. Heavenly, I tell ya.

Love fritos on a chili dog but this seems a step downward, to an abyss I do not want to venture towards.

I'm not grossed out by it, but it is probably not something I would ever order. If I go to KFC (which is almost never as the nearest one to me really sucks) it is because I want the extra crispy fried chicken. I don't need, or want, this in a sandwich with or without cheetos.

I could take one for the FFA team, if needed.

Looks like what comes out after you’d eat it. Same look in and out

Patton Oswalt’s various bits about KFC are all funny and true. From their so-called signature chicken to all the various gimmick items, I have no idea how that chain is still in business.
That said, I will have my fill each time McDonald’s puts the McRib out; would buy it if they made a breakfast sammich out of it, too!

Don't think I could do it. Doesn't look appetizing at all. If I'm getting a chicken sandwich it's either gonna be Chick fil A or Bojangles.

no clear answer choices for me. I don't hate it - but as Dan said, I don't trust them to do it well - and I sure don't want to pay extra for it.
I'll bring it home and add them on myself.
Also it seems like they would end up scratching the roof of your mouth and/or fly everywhere with your first couple of bites.

I think the thing that makes it a hard pass from me is the mayo. Not sure why, but that just seems like it doesn't belong.

I wouldn't proactively go to KFC and buy one--but if somebody gave me one to eat for free--I'd try it. On a side note-- a couple weeks ago I had worked a 12 hour shift with no lunch break and was famished. Was not in the mood to prepare any food at home--so I decided to grab some fast food. Went to Burger King and they have some sort of 2 for $6 special where you can pick from a few different sandwiches. I ended up picking 2 of their Grilled Chicken sandwiches--and I have to say--for $3 each---I was pleasantly surprised. For that price and for it being fast food--you can certainly do a lot worse.

Not a fan of breaded chicken in a sandwich, give me the un-breaded breast. Not a fan of Cheetos, particularly, and frankly if I was going for a crunch factor I don't find them liable to do anything but get soggy when sandwiched between chicken and mayo. Anything with mayo is pretty much off of my list.
A big no for me, but for those enthusiastic about this, I salute you.

The "Cheetos sauce" seems the most suspect here.

That’s certainly fair—but being an admittedly chubby guy that does indulge in fast food probably at least once or twice a week—I’m pretty sure that I would have been pretty impressed even if I wasn’t famished. Keep in mind that I ate the second one 2-3 hours after the first and still was impressed with them especially considering the price. With that said—I will fully admit that I do think that the value aspect definitely contributes to my level of impressiveness with it.

- it looks super disgusting
- I kinda respect that they are embracing the lowbrow and going 100% on it, rather than trying to pretend like it isn't a plate of dog crap.

Fortunately there is the ability to request "no mayo". I would certainly be doing that should I take the plunge. Cheese sauce, though... I'm in.
I understand liking the crunch factor. Every now and then I'll eat a PB&J with Fritos. But this already has a crunch factor--a crispy chicken filet.

Think I'll pass...that needs mayo?

College me would definitely order a half dozen of those at 2 in the morning and just hope not to come to in a pool of orange regret 6-11 hours later.

Had this for lunch today, and it was a shameful but delicious experience. They didn't go overboard on the Cheetos sauce, the Cheetos were nice and crunchy, it all worked pretty well together. Definitely not something to eat on a regular basis, but they really executed this well. I enjoyed it.

Taken on for the team, @caustic, good on ya. And a great gustatory review right there.
As much as hearing about this sandwich made my arteries (and other areas of my body) pucker, was surprised to hear it was actually, well, tasty and balanced.
And as much as I think it's places and food like this that contribute to the obesity of the Americas, I do applaud KFC and other fast food places like Pizza Hut and Burger King -- for not shying away from the fact that their output is purely junk food, but embracing it. And also for constantly changing things up.
This sandwich and the infamous Double Down; "innovations" like stuffed crust and Cheesy Bites pizza; sandwiches like the Meat'normous Omelet Sandwich, Chicken Fries and Mac 'N Cheetos -- you can't claim these companies aren't hiding from what they truly are (vehicles for ungodly amounts of calories, sodium, fat, carbs, etc.), and at least trying different things constantly.
