The Dishes
The star of this review was Chili's new big crispy chicken sandwich, a absolutely massive creation that arrived in a custom-made wrapper. The sandwich features an enormous piece of crispy fried chicken that is so large the reviewer couldn't even get the bun in his first bite, only attacking the battered chicken itself. The batter coating is crispy and expertly executed, delivering pure crispiness throughout. The chicken inside is juicy and moist, packed with flavor that impressed the reviewer immensely. The bun is buttery, soft, and perfectly toasted, complementing the chicken beautifully. The reviewer also tried the accompanying crispy fries, which he described as phenomenal with a light crisp texture. Additionally, he sampled Chili's tortilla chips, which he praised as having the best quality chips in the quick service restaurant game.
The Experience
The review took place outside the Chili's location in Southington, Connecticut, with the reviewer sitting on his Gold Wing motorcycle. He mentions that a server inside remembered him from his viral Five Guys review days in Farmington and hooked him up with extra sauces, including the Southwest sauce and an extra spicy sauce. The casual outdoor setting allowed him to fully showcase the sandwich's impressive size to viewers. The reviewer's enthusiasm and detailed breakdown of each element created an engaging viewing experience.
Value & Pricing
While specific pricing wasn't mentioned in the transcript, the sandwich's value proposition centers on its massive size and quality construction, which justifies it as a significant meal offering.
Notable Moments
That spicy sauce had no business. That spicy sauce got some Bruce Lee Liu Kang kick to it. That spicy sauce straight from Mortal Kombat with the scorpion. Get over here.
Your new crispy big AF chicken sandwich. It's not a five all day. It's not a 10, my friend. It's not even a 20 on the money. It's a 100 run it.
The reviewer held the massive sandwich up to the sun to showcase its size, noting that even with his large hands, the chicken was busting out of the wrapper. He emphasized how the custom wrapper had to be specially made to accommodate the sandwich's circumference.
The Verdict

The reviewer called it a 100 out of 10 and declared it the grand finale of fireworks in the fast food chicken sandwich game, claiming it has slapped all other chicken sandwiches in size, flavor, and presentation.
