This morning I opted for some McDonald’s breakfast as we’ve had coupons for free (!) chicken biscuits sitting on the table for a couple weeks now. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I’m all about the sausage patty when it comes to breakfast sandwiches, so we’ll see how this new contender can compare.

7:52 – Biscuit, hash brown, and medium Sprite are in front of me. I spent $2.51 on the group – a good value, considering the normal meal retails for $1 more and the biscuit alone is almost that much.

7:53 – Food has been debagged.

7:54 – First bite. Okay, I guess. Kind of sweet in the same way their chicken breast sandwiches are.

7:54 – No napkins were supplied. Good thing I have a supply at my desk.

7:55 – About halfway through the sandwich. I think the biscuit is the saving grace.

7:55 – Hash brown delicious as always.

7:56 – I would estimate this sandwich has about 3 bites left. But I take big bites.

7:56 – Chicken has toppled off of biscuit. I repeat: chicken has toppled off of biscuit. Why are breakfast sandwiches so delicate?

7:57 – Down to final bite.

7:57 – Sandwich eaten.

I won’t bore you with the rest of the breakfast details, but rest assured, if this sandwich had not been free, there’s no way it could dethrone the sausage (“king of breakfast meats”). But don’t feel bad. Chicken is still a shoe-in for 2/3 of the meals of the day.
