The Sunday before last, I found myself in the city with a modest appetite. Relatively recently, Hungry Jack's have introduced an "X-tra long range" of what could be best described as rolls. I took this opportunity to sample one of these rolls. The one I chose to order was called "classic chicken". I wasn't expecting it to be significantly different from their chicken royale, but was mildly surprised that it was almost identical. The only appreciable difference was shape and mass. However, I like the chicken royale, so my mild disappointment was somewhat mitigated. I did notice a little extra mayonnaise and the chicken fillet was a little more overdone than usual, but these are the sort of minor variations one expects from fast food destinations. To accompany my roll, I ordered some chicken nuggets. Chemically speaking, there is almost no difference between Hungry Jack's chicken nuggets and those of McDonald's (or indeed any type of battered chicken nuggets). Subjectively however, there was considerable difference. First of all, Hungry Jack's chicken nuggets are crispier, whereas McDonald's are chewier. I prefer crispy. Most importantly though, Hungry Jack's nuggets are tastier, and this is not due to any type of condiment or seasoning. I don't know if this has something to do with the oil used, or perhaps some ingredient in the batter but Hungry Jack's nuggets are better. They're far from perfect, but if you like chicken nuggets, you will most likely be satisfied with those served at Hungry Jack's, which are also cheaper than McDonald's. In conclusion this was another run-of-the-mill, yet pleasant fast food experience.
