I can't find a good photo of it (I really should just take pictures of everything I buy and/or eat), but Wendy's has a new spicy chicken sandwich on the Super Value Menu and I want to tell you about it.
The sandwich is about a dollar (it's so new, it's not even on the menu at our local place) and, as I've found with dollar chicken sandwiches, it's not giving you a lot of meat. Actually, that could be said of all value sandwiches, beef, chicken or otherwise.
I will say, however, that this is a satisfyingly spicy and decent chicken sandwich for the money. The spice is a bit different from what you get on their full-size spicy chicken -- this is supposed to be a Buffalo chicken spice whereas the other one is mainly just a pepper spice, it seems -- but it's still got some zing, which makes it preferable to the regular dollar-menu chicken sandwich offerings at Wendy's and elsewhere.
Here's the one unknown and the sector of the market I think Wendy's was aiming at when it made this: The KFC Snacker. For a dollar, KFC offers an Original Recipe or Buffalo-flavored mini chicken sandwich. Obviously, KFC knows how to do fried chicken, but from what I've seen, these sandwiches are little more than a chicken strip, some lettuce and mayo on a mini hoagie bun. So while I'm willing to bet their chicken is higher quality, I don't know how much of it you get compared to the Wendy's entry.
