On Saturday I found myself in the Valley, and not having had anything to eat that day, was feeling peckish, but not hungry enough for a proper meal. Because I also had to be somewhere, I wanted something quick and cheap. I felt like a chicken burger, so I decided to go the Red Rooster. I had never had a burger from this chain before, and I'd have to say that out of all the fast-food type establishments I have reviewed in this blog, the Red Rooster chicken burger I sampled on that day is the best. I ordered the classic crispy burger, which is a coated chicken fillet with lettuce and mayonnaise: simple enough. The first thing that I noticed was that it was bigger than a McChicken or chicken royale from Hungry Jacks, so that's one point for Red Rooster. Second, the chicken fillet coating was probably the crunchiest I have experienced, without being too crunchy, so that's another point for Red Rooster. Third, the chicken fillet itself was of better quality than any of the other fast-food chicken burgers found in this blog, so that's another point for Red Rooster. Fourth, there was a lot of lettuce, but that's really neither here nor there. Despite these positives, this burger did suffer from one of the drawbacks common to the chicken burgers I have reviewed. There was not enough mayonnaise. Overall, though, this was a satisfying snack, but it must be stressed that this burger is no substitute for a proper burger from a proper restaurant, bar or cafe, unless price and convenience are a consideration.
