for $6(or $8 here in Canada) I would expect real chicken cutlets battered in real Italian breading and seasonings, authentic Marinara sauce, and shredded Mozza cheese, on a real Italian style bun. @@DavidClark-vu3dw
i mean.. yea.. idk why everyone seems so suprised by this development its called burger king not italy king seems kinda obvious and redundant to be so taken aback by this
It's incredible to screw up a chicken parm sandwich so badly. It's bread, fried chicken, marinara, and cheese. I got one when this was available last time, I seriously took two bites. The marinara was unbelievably salty for some reason, inedible.
Thanks for making me spit my Dr. Pepper out all over my kitchen sink. I didn’t expect to hear “ When I think of Italy I think of Burger King.” That should be on a t-shirt. It’s just ridiculous, absurd; it’s just funny.
Yeah, make those T-shirts, sell them, give "Reporter of the Week " some kick back from the sales to help out with his channel. I'll purchase 2. Reality.....probably can't because of Trademark reasons or other legalities. Anyway great idea right or wrong?
At least this time, his disappointment is not immeasurable and his day is not ruined, since it is, you know, Burger King He probably wasnt expecting much
Yep, I just buy a bag of chicken nuggets and buy hotdog bread and I can eat as much chicken sandwich as I want too. Same with burgers and buy the ground beef and just grill it myself.
This is the only ReportOfTheWeek episode I have ever watched and I think this is a great one to start on. The perplexing item, it produced such a drama. Lovely experience.
When I was a kid this was one of the BUDGET items. Yeah, it was subpar, but considering that italian food is usually expensive, it seemed like the cheapest "italian" inspired food you could possibly get. We're talking $1. I have NO IDEA why this suddenly became one of their expensive items, where they changed nothing about the quality of a budget item. It's like if taco bell took the doritos tacos off the menu, and suddenly brought them back for $7 each.
Chickens...unless you cut it yourself...they are gonna me a mash up of several chickens. I had the sandwich and thought the texture was odd as was the taste. Not bad but not good.
I experienced that mysterious "completely devoid of flavor" thing once, it was at a local deep dish pizza place, both my dining companion and i just kind of exchanged glances when we started eating the pizza... It was utterly flavorless, no exaggeration, it was as if a prank was being played on us and we were on candid camera or something. I don't even know how it was possible, I mean it had to take some sort of effort and skill to achieve this result, there was no way it could have just been a weird accident.
No, not merely salt, but any and all elements of flavor. Adding salt (which we tried at the table) merely made it a lightly salt-flavored pizza, made up of salt-flavored cheese, salt-flavored sauce, and salt flavored crust. It was so weird because all the proper textures were present, but zero taste or aroma...I think we maybe even ordered it with some toppings, but I can't remember (and they were equally devoid of flavor anyway)
I've canceled my 4 week Italian excursion through the Sicilian vineyards in favor for a 6$ taste of Italy from the Burger Key drive-thru.... Thank you good sir. Your honesty and cander are unmeasured.
I worked at Burger King back in the very early 90s. We had the Italian chicken sandwich then and I loved it. Saw one at a Burger King a couple years ago and excitedly ordered it. It was awful.
I remember when I was a kid in the early 2000's there was a limited-time chicken parmesan sandwich that was available every now and then. It was my absolute favorite. Last I ordered one like two years ago and it was terrible lol.
I worked at BK in the mid 80s, remember the hot ham and cheese on a long bun like this? Was delicious! And I still love the Original Chicken Sandwich, still very good.
When they originally came out with the Italian, French, and American chicken sandwiches in the 90s, I worked there also, the Italian chicken was my go-to. Had it the other night for the first time in decades, it didn't fulfill my expectations. It's such a bummer.
I had this up here in Canada and I think it's the 'chicken patty', they somehow made a fried chicken patty with negative flavor and texture, it makes the sandwich worse by being there, not to mention their 'marinara' which I think is a marvel of engineering in that they used tomatoes to make some kind of ketchup that just tastes like the texture of gloop.
Sometimes you don't want a whopper and they other sandwiches just taste the same with tiny patties just with some sauce or bacon. And the chicken sandwiches are either under cooked or all chuck greasle parts. So you just get a flavourless original chicken sandwich.
As someone who only goes to BK with the coups they put in the mail. I find it hilarious that you get 2 OCS (plain chix sandwich) for $6 (so $3 each) but slap some sauce and a slice of cheese on it and they charge an extra 6 bucks
Funny thing is even with the coupons where you get 2 for $6 it's still not worth it, those sandwiches are just sad. I mean hey it's the cheapest fast food you can get these days I guess?
You’d think that a chicken sandwich with some marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese would be a relatively simple thing to pull off. I guess not for Burger King!
I can't believe they're still in business. Their french fries are the only thing that even qualify as edible by any self respecting person's standards.
The ones near me are cheaper chicken, and the burgers are a bit larger (and better) than most chains. They're 24 hours too, most here aren't. Other than that...
The look on your face when you took the first bite told me everything I needed to know about this gastronomic atrocity. Thanks for taking a hit for the rest of us!
That's impressive in the worst possible way. Burger King, how you've taken breaded chicken, mozzarella, sauce, and bread and made it flavorless is just... almost impossible. This is what I imagine Gordon Ramsay's nightmares must be like.
yea its called burger king and not chicken king kinda expect that the name indicates what items might be better than others.. taco bell doent make hamburgers for this reason
All of the fast food chains should figure out where this guy lives and make sure that every single item sold within a 50 mile radius is made with the highest level of quality and love possible. Especially the new items because this is just sad at this point.
Bet reviewbruh shakes his head every time someone foolishly recycles comments every-single-post. Kinda like he did for this monstrosity… “No flavor” nor originality.
@@rietzhu oh shit that's my bad G. I should of read every past comment on reviewbruh's channel just to make sure I'm not being unoriginal when I comment. Sadly though I cant 😢 because I actually have a life ...
How do you know others don't like the item? Just because he hated it doesn't mean others hate it too. That's why people need to try things for themselves instead of going off what he says. That like people who claims to hate a movie because critics give it a bad review. If you watch the movie without worrying about what the critic says you might like the movie or food in this case. Never let anyone decide whether you love or hate something. That decision is up to you.
I have to say its because they own other not so trash restaurants like Popeye's and Tim Hortons. I remember the days when burger king was decent, now their horrible and annoying marketing coupled with their nasty food, this brand is just... awful.
I only eat fast food about two or three times a year and it's almost always Wendy's. I hadn't eaten Burger King in probably 20 years and they were sending me coupons. One day I was staring at the sheet of coupons that came in the mail and said Fuck It.. it was finally time to fall for the bait. I got 2 junior whoppers and they were edible. It's worth noting that there was a Burger King less than a mile from my house for the last 15 years that closed right before this.. I did go there once, but I don't count it as a Burger King visit, per se, because all I went there for was a strawberry shake, which ended up making me deathly ill for the following 24 hours.
@@kacy6014 what is it with ya'll that actually like this place lmao!! Ok I do like those cheesy jalapeno bites! If they still even have them. But that's it! 😝
I love BK’s original chicken sandwich. It’s a combination of the flavor and the memory of when I first ate it, which was the first chicken sandwich I ever had. Probably 1978 ish.
Funnily enough, BK Germany also currently offers an Italian-style chicken sandwich, but it's completely different from this one. First of all, it's a variant of the "Crispy Chicken", a circular instead of longish chicken sandwich with extra-crispy breading that's part of BK's regular menu in Germany, and instead of Mozarella and Marinara, the special ingrediant that makes it "Italian" is a pesto-based sauce.
In general, I don't eat these fast food items however your reviews never fail to make me smile! Your honesty is needed in this fast food world of deception! Keep the jokes and smiles coming our way!😊
When I go to one of Italy's many fine restaurants, I specifically ask the server to refrain from serving me their normal marinara and instead replace it with that "amazing" Burger King marinara...
Tips on Getting Great Service @ BK 1) Always go inside to dine and look like you just entered Wally World. 2) "Good evening, Yes Sir, Thank you Sir may I have another?" 3) Say "I think I'm going to try....(1st Timer) 4) Tell them to please take their time you're not in a rush You should be all set.
@@memberofchat2825 well actually he stated that he thinks and hopes that they learned from their mistakes from the last burger king item he had... so he actually was disapointed as the title is "worst burger king item ive ever had"
Their chicken patty's were institutional food. The last time I ate there, the chicken patty meat had a grey color. The exact same quality of patty's we served at the institution I worked. (I forgot to add that Burger King also fried my patty in dirty oil) That was fifteen years ago, and I have never been back to Burger King. It looks like they whitened up the meat since I was last there, but I guess it tastes the same.
I got this a little while back when it first dropped and was really really hungry. I was no longer hungry after I ate it but was filled with immense shame and regret. Was absolutely horrible
Denial when he took bite 2 and 3. Anger when he couldn't swallow it down. Bargaining when he said the marinara had some flavor. Acceptance at the 2/10 rating. We can now only assume that he's dealing with depression.
The only thing good I can say about their chicken sandwich is, a few years ago they sent out coupons for 2 sandwiches and 2 medium fries...... for $4.99. It was the best deal I recall them ever having (ARP was close to $14 after tax) and they sent them out for months. Whether it was a screw-up that nobody noticed, or they were just begging people to eat their excess slop in stock.... it was still a terrible sandwich. But at least the price was right.
The funny thing is I have always used a coupon for those chicken sandwiches because I know they are always bad. One time I brought one without a coupon and it was the best tasting sandwich I have ever had. And I started to wonder if it is because I use a coupon they they always give me a sandwich that has been sitting there in the warmer for hours and refired twice to make it greasy and awful. I don't know. Maybe the stores suck because the workers don't care. I know they usually don't.
I'll never forget the time I stopped eating fast food for a while. When I went back and got some nuggets from Wendy's, I swore I had gotten COVID because I couldn't taste anything. I freaked out, tried some other food and then realized no, it wasn't COVID. The food just had absolutely no flavor. So, I really feel this review.
There are many legitimate complaints I could see having about fast food, but flavorless? It's 100% the opposite, these things are so loaded with salt and spices to cover the poor meat quality that it's too much flavor, if anything.
@@2obscure4uI agree. I stopped eating fast food for an entire year. One day I was craving a rodeo burger and it was so damn salty I wanted to puke. But now that I occasionally eat ff I don’t notice it as much.
My experiences with Burger Pauper have been awful too. This must have been one hard day of work. Your sense of humor really makes your videos worth watching.
"The worst Burger King item I've ever had" - that's saying something! It's too bad, because I can remember that back in the 90's the Burger King Italian chicken sandwich was really quite good. I agree with Reviewbrah that this looks like something from some industrial food service operation, and to channel my inner Gordon Ramsay, "we're charging the customers $6 for this? Really?". At 11:57, when he just flopped the sandwich down, I had to laugh a little.
It’s not just me right? Everything doesn’t taste the same anymore or made the same, everything tastes like it’s been sitting for days, at least before everything tasted like it was made fresh 😭
I used to be a mgr at Burger King years ago. I don’t get much from them anymore. Obviously once you’ve had everything at BK you lose the taste for it. But also their prices have gotten ridiculous. I can see BK slowly going away. While I haven’t had the Italian chicken since probably the late 90s early 2000s, I have had the regular chicken sandwiches. And I can tell the chicken doesn’t taste the same. It’s much dryer now. Probably changed stuff to save money. How all these companies do and in doing so sacrifice quality in its place
I have to disagree, the original chicken sandwich tastes to me exactly as it did when I was a teenager and worked there for six months, and never got tired of eating it. It's essentially is a large chicken nugget, before they ruined their chicken nuggets with the new bland kind, but this item is perfectly crispy salty and peppery and with mayonnaise and lettuce it to me really tastes exactly like it used to. The newer chicken sandwiches that are big thick breaded round chunks to me seem to have more mystery gristle and have that stringy chicken texture that the more processed original sandwich doesn't have. To me, the McDonald's chicken nuggets and the Burger King nuggets and the fries made in beef Tallow tasted so much better but I know they're not coming back so I am happy this is one of the few classic items that has retained the same shape taste and texture that I remember eating almost every day while working at the restaurant. In the attempt to be able to advertise all white meat chicken not made from pieces parts they have managed to make take all of the taste out of them and depend on dipping sauces, the original nuggets although more processed with different cuts of chicken had their own taste that I actually liked a lot. This chicken sandwich, in its original form not the weird Italian special, is a great, filling, tasty sandwich that I would recommend to anyone especially if they used to enjoy them in the past. No it is not gourmet and no they can't say it's 100% chicken breast but this is fast food and it is really tasty it's not bland "healthy" food.
I used to love this sandwich when I first had it in the early 90s. Burger King first introduced it as part of an “International” menu. It was so cheesy and salty, I loved it.
The face he makes with the first bite should be used by Burger King competitors in a commercial: 'Do you want to have it your way, or do you want it to taste better than this?'
Wonder if fast food places know how many sales they lose from him. And rightfully so. He saves us from wasting our $ to even have to try some of these things. Thank you!
They literally don't notice at all. People watching this channel are probably like 0.0001% of global fast food consumers. They're losing nothing, "how many sales they lose from him".. lol.
Fast food brah always gives chicken parm sandwiches bad reviews. You know if you like a chicken parm or not. When I order chicken parm, I know I’m taking a 50/50 chance on diarrhea
@@sweatywinnets true, but over the course of years... almost 3 mil subs... theres gotta be a substantial amount of people he's influenced to either try or not try something. Does it really effect bottom line? no, you're probably right.
As soon as I heard "Burger King marinara sauce," I heard a distant echo. A faint sound on the wind. The kind of sound so faint that I had to strain my ears to make certain I was actually hearing it. It was my Tuscan great-grandfather swearing and hitting things with his cane.
You seem to be serious and respectful toward the food, to the degree that I'm pretty sure that the professionals who developed it, never bothered to invest a fraction of that care into it.
Thank you for being a quiet eater!! I can’t stand hearing lips smack, loud chewing, open mouth eating some of these other heathens do on their channels.
I have heavy nostalgia for this item from back in the 80s/90s as a kid, but having had it once during these recent comebacks either my tastes have moved incredibly far beyond this or they lost the 90s recipe and decided to just make up a replacement out of wood shavings, plastic, and food coloring. While one part of it is certainly that fast food chicken has greatly improved, I definitely remember it having actual significant flavor in the 'marinara' sauce, of tangy tomato and herbs. This new Food Brick™ was the same for me as your experience: dry, flavorless, and depressing. :(
That sandwich was at it best in the late 70's-80's when it was first introduced. The best fast food Italian chicken sandwich I remember having was the one from Wendy's in the mid 80's. I also loved the Pizza Hut meatball sandwich back them too. The BKs where I live are almost completely gone. With this, I understand. What sucks is deregulation has done this here in fast food. I'm willing to bet, the BK in Dubai or any foreign market is far superior!
@@seanswinton6242Idk about BK in foreign countries but I've tried McDonald's and KFC in Japan and the Philippines and they were much better quality there. Even in the Philippines which is a 3rd world country lol
Agree whole heartedly with you, as I a few weeks ago also ordered the Italian chicken sandwich from Burger King, excited to try it again after they brought it back, took one bite and was so disappointed; your description of the sandwich is truly spot on. People do not get the Italian chicken sandwich it IS awful!!!!!
The best part of this guy’s schtick is that his three pieces aren’t like Peaky Blinders, they’re what a CPA would have worn in the late 80s to 90s. It’s preposterous

I can't believe they're still in business. Their french fries are the only thing that even qualify as edible by any self respecting person's standards.
@@Steinmetal4I like they’re onion rings over their fries. But It’s super rare I eat there 😂
I had a Burger King burn my bread. My. Bread. HOW DO YOU EVEN BURN THE BREAD??
The ones near me are cheaper chicken, and the burgers are a bit larger (and better) than most chains. They're 24 hours too, most here aren't.
Other than that...
@@Steinmetal4I don’t mind their big fish sandwich and royal chicken sandwiches….. that’s about it 🤷♂️
The look on your face when you took the first bite told me everything I needed to know about this gastronomic atrocity. Thanks for taking a hit for the rest of us!
That's impressive in the worst possible way. Burger King, how you've taken breaded chicken, mozzarella, sauce, and bread and made it flavorless is just... almost impossible. This is what I imagine Gordon Ramsay's nightmares must be like.
yea its called burger king and not chicken king
kinda expect that the name indicates what items might be better than others..
taco bell doent make hamburgers for this reason
@@italianmiltyfriedman6264their burgers also suck.

Wendy’s made a similar sandwich.. I ordered it once and it was pretty good.
All of the fast food chains should figure out where this guy lives and make sure that every single item sold within a 50 mile radius is made with the highest level of quality and love possible. Especially the new items because this is just sad at this point.
Well, that would require far more effort on Burger King's part, something they're simply not used to
Bet reviewbruh shakes his head every time someone foolishly recycles comments every-single-post. Kinda like he did for this monstrosity… “No flavor” nor originality.
@@rietzhu oh shit that's my bad G. I should of read every past comment on reviewbruh's channel just to make sure I'm not being unoriginal when I comment. Sadly though I cant 😢 because I actually have a life ...
Yeah he’s professional in his reviews and well spoken in explaining his experiences and has a huge viewership.
Be a good idea if they did lol
How do you know others don't like the item? Just because he hated it doesn't mean others hate it too. That's why people need to try things for themselves instead of going off what he says. That like people who claims to hate a movie because critics give it a bad review. If you watch the movie without worrying about what the critic says you might like the movie or food in this case. Never let anyone decide whether you love or hate something. That decision is up to you.
Brah taking obligatory sips of water in between bites and staring hatefully at the sandwich got me rolling 😂

How burger king is still in business is beyond me. Their food is legit bottom of the barrel stuff.
I have to say its because they own other not so trash restaurants like Popeye's and Tim Hortons. I remember the days when burger king was decent, now their horrible and annoying marketing coupled with their nasty food, this brand is just... awful.
I only eat fast food about two or three times a year and it's almost always Wendy's. I hadn't eaten Burger King in probably 20 years and they were sending me coupons. One day I was staring at the sheet of coupons that came in the mail and said Fuck It.. it was finally time to fall for the bait. I got 2 junior whoppers and they were edible. It's worth noting that there was a Burger King less than a mile from my house for the last 15 years that closed right before this.. I did go there once, but I don't count it as a Burger King visit, per se, because all I went there for was a strawberry shake, which ended up making me deathly ill for the following 24 hours.
Burger King is my favorite fast food place…lol I always get a basic cheeseburger and original chicken sandwich.
And they always charge so much for it too!
@@kacy6014 what is it with ya'll that actually like this place lmao!! Ok I do like those cheesy jalapeno bites! If they still even have them. But that's it! 😝

I love BK’s original chicken sandwich. It’s a combination of the flavor and the memory of when I first ate it, which was the first chicken sandwich I ever had. Probably 1978 ish.
How does the BK of then compare to modern day?
@@lukastheloserback then it was shit! Now it's worse.
@@lukastheloserI too am curious of this vintage data.
I'm going to have to go to Burger King with my wife. The original was her favorite. Have not tried it for a while.
I like their original sandwich when it’s at its peak quality. But you get really gross ones often enough that you stop wanting to take a chance.
I don't think I've ever heard a review from your channel that was dripping with sarcasm this much 😂😂
That's why I go to Taco Bell every time I crave for Italian cuisine.

ReviewBrah: [takes 3 drinks of water after eating Italian Chicken Sandwich]
Burger King: We're dead.
Funnily enough, BK Germany also currently offers an Italian-style chicken sandwich, but it's completely different from this one. First of all, it's a variant of the "Crispy Chicken", a circular instead of longish chicken sandwich with extra-crispy breading that's part of BK's regular menu in Germany, and instead of Mozarella and Marinara, the special ingrediant that makes it "Italian" is a pesto-based sauce.
This man must be protected as the fast food companies are soon going come for his life.
Defend this King at all cost.
Same was often said about Featureman.

His disappointment is immeasurable
and brother? youre never gonna believe this
@@yyeahsure his day is ruined
In general, I don't eat these fast food items however your reviews never fail to make me smile! Your honesty is needed in this fast food world of deception! Keep the jokes and smiles coming our way!😊
When I go to one of Italy's many fine restaurants, I specifically ask the server to refrain from serving me their normal marinara and instead replace it with that "amazing" Burger King marinara...
Tips on Getting Great Service @ BK
1) Always go inside to dine and look like you just entered Wally World.
2) "Good evening, Yes Sir, Thank you Sir may I have another?"
3) Say "I think I'm going to try....(1st Timer)
4) Tell them to please take their time you're not in a rush
You should be all set.

Honestly I can’t even be disappointed. They somehow found a way to make it from “gross” to “edible but you can’t taste it” 😭😭
well he wasnt expecting it to be good so he wasnt disappointed
@@memberofchat2825 well actually he stated that he thinks and hopes that they learned from their mistakes from the last burger king item he had... so he actually was disapointed as the title is "worst burger king item ive ever had"
The look on your face after the first bite 😂😂😂 wtf did I just put in my mouth?!
Van Gogh's "Cafe Terrace At Night" is my favorite. He was so proud of that painting. His use of yellow is brilliant.
Their chicken patty's were institutional food. The last time I ate there, the chicken patty meat had a grey color. The exact same quality of patty's we served at the institution I worked. (I forgot to add that Burger King also fried my patty in dirty oil) That was fifteen years ago, and I have never been back to Burger King. It looks like they whitened up the meat since I was last there, but I guess it tastes the same.
I got this a little while back when it first dropped and was really really hungry. I was no longer hungry after I ate it but was filled with immense shame and regret. Was absolutely horrible
I have IBD and yeah BK is an insult to food
BK made reviewbrah go into all the stages of grief with this sandwich.
Denial when he took bite 2 and 3. Anger when he couldn't swallow it down. Bargaining when he said the marinara had some flavor. Acceptance at the 2/10 rating. We can now only assume that he's dealing with depression.
The only thing good I can say about their chicken sandwich is, a few years ago they sent out coupons for 2 sandwiches and 2 medium fries...... for $4.99. It was the best deal I recall them ever having (ARP was close to $14 after tax) and they sent them out for months. Whether it was a screw-up that nobody noticed, or they were just begging people to eat their excess slop in stock.... it was still a terrible sandwich. But at least the price was right.
The funny thing is I have always used a coupon for those chicken sandwiches because I know they are always bad. One time I brought one without a coupon and it was the best tasting sandwich I have ever had. And I started to wonder if it is because I use a coupon they they always give me a sandwich that has been sitting there in the warmer for hours and refired twice to make it greasy and awful. I don't know. Maybe the stores suck because the workers don't care. I know they usually don't.
I'll never forget the time I stopped eating fast food for a while. When I went back and got some nuggets from Wendy's, I swore I had gotten COVID because I couldn't taste anything. I freaked out, tried some other food and then realized no, it wasn't COVID. The food just had absolutely no flavor. So, I really feel this review.
There are many legitimate complaints I could see having about fast food, but flavorless? It's 100% the opposite, these things are so loaded with salt and spices to cover the poor meat quality that it's too much flavor, if anything.
@@2obscure4uI agree. I stopped eating fast food for an entire year. One day I was craving a rodeo burger and it was so damn salty I wanted to puke. But now that I occasionally eat ff I don’t notice it as much.

My experiences with Burger Pauper have been awful too. This must have been one hard day of work. Your sense of humor really makes your videos worth watching.
"The worst Burger King item I've ever had" - that's saying something! It's too bad, because I can remember that back in the 90's the Burger King Italian chicken sandwich was really quite good. I agree with Reviewbrah that this looks like something from some industrial food service operation, and to channel my inner Gordon Ramsay, "we're charging the customers $6 for this? Really?".
At 11:57, when he just flopped the sandwich down, I had to laugh a little.
It’s not just me right? Everything doesn’t taste the same anymore or made the same, everything tastes like it’s been sitting for days, at least before everything tasted like it was made fresh 😭
It's slowly coming back for me. Doritos still taste horrible when they used to be my favorite chip.
Quality continues to go down and prices continue to go up.

I used to be a mgr at Burger King years ago. I don’t get much from them anymore. Obviously once you’ve had everything at BK you lose the taste for it. But also their prices have gotten ridiculous. I can see BK slowly going away. While I haven’t had the Italian chicken since probably the late 90s early 2000s, I have had the regular chicken sandwiches. And I can tell the chicken doesn’t taste the same. It’s much dryer now. Probably changed stuff to save money. How all these companies do and in doing so sacrifice quality in its place
Yep I live next to my BK and ate there since 86.
All I get there is coffee as they don’t fick that up.
Anything else has sat for hours
There's two locations near where I live that have closed in the past year
Yep. I don't mind the food but the prices just send me packing every time
I have to disagree, the original chicken sandwich tastes to me exactly as it did when I was a teenager and worked there for six months, and never got tired of eating it.
It's essentially is a large chicken nugget, before they ruined their chicken nuggets with the new bland kind, but this item is perfectly crispy salty and peppery and with mayonnaise and lettuce it to me really tastes exactly like it used to.
The newer chicken sandwiches that are big thick breaded round chunks to me seem to have more mystery gristle and have that stringy chicken texture that the more processed original sandwich doesn't have.
To me, the McDonald's chicken nuggets and the Burger King nuggets and the fries made in beef Tallow tasted so much better but I know they're not coming back so I am happy this is one of the few classic items that has retained the same shape taste and texture that I remember eating almost every day while working at the restaurant.
In the attempt to be able to advertise all white meat chicken not made from pieces parts they have managed to make take all of the taste out of them and depend on dipping sauces, the original nuggets although more processed with different cuts of chicken had their own taste that I actually liked a lot.
This chicken sandwich, in its original form not the weird Italian special, is a great, filling, tasty sandwich that I would recommend to anyone especially if they used to enjoy them in the past.
No it is not gourmet and no they can't say it's 100% chicken breast but this is fast food and it is really tasty it's not bland "healthy" food.
And yet they still make record profits.
Looks like those dry spicy chicken sandwiches you'll find in most public school lunches.
Except those are actually good with some Texas pete hot sauce. This....... No sauce is going to fix this atrocity
Who wouldn't take a bat and boots to that creepy king peeking in your window?
That commercial was the beginning of the end for BK.

9:30 You can feel the tension brewing
I used to love this sandwich when I first had it in the early 90s. Burger King first introduced it as part of an “International” menu. It was so cheesy and salty, I loved it.
I remember that menu!
It was a dollar then
The face he makes with the first bite should be used by Burger King competitors in a commercial: 'Do you want to have it your way, or do you want it to taste better than this?'
this would have been an early 2000s jack in the box commercial for sure
Wonder if fast food places know how many sales they lose from him. And rightfully so. He saves us from wasting our $ to even have to try some of these things. Thank you!

You seem to be serious and respectful toward the food, to the degree that I'm pretty sure that the professionals who developed it, never bothered to invest a fraction of that care into it.
The sandwich is actually a bit nostalgic to me because it's terrible in the same way as the chicken sandwich I used to get from my school cafeteria.

Thank you for being a quiet eater!! I can’t stand hearing lips smack, loud chewing, open mouth eating some of these other heathens do on their channels.
I have heavy nostalgia for this item from back in the 80s/90s as a kid, but having had it once during these recent comebacks either my tastes have moved incredibly far beyond this or they lost the 90s recipe and decided to just make up a replacement out of wood shavings, plastic, and food coloring. While one part of it is certainly that fast food chicken has greatly improved, I definitely remember it having actual significant flavor in the 'marinara' sauce, of tangy tomato and herbs. This new Food Brick™ was the same for me as your experience: dry, flavorless, and depressing. :(
A lot of idiots like to claim "Maybe your taste has changed."
Those people are idiots.
Burger King itself has changed.
Same with Pizza Hut.
That sandwich was at it best in the late 70's-80's when it was first introduced. The best fast food Italian chicken sandwich I remember having was the one from Wendy's in the mid 80's. I also loved the Pizza Hut meatball sandwich back them too. The BKs where I live are almost completely gone. With this, I understand. What sucks is deregulation has done this here in fast food. I'm willing to bet, the BK in Dubai or any foreign market is far superior!
@@seanswinton6242Idk about BK in foreign countries but I've tried McDonald's and KFC in Japan and the Philippines and they were much better quality there. Even in the Philippines which is a 3rd world country lol
Preach! I loved these as a kid in the 90's. Tried one a few months ago and it was disgusting
I work at burgerking and I think that sandwich is the worst thing on our menu.Its always salty and dry.the royal chicken is amazing though.
I love how the way he looks at the sandwich after the first two bites. like a concerned doctor reviewing a CT scan that doesn't look good
This is hands down the funniest video Review Brah has done in a long time. I’m at work and dying of laughter. 😂😂
Agree whole heartedly with you, as I a few weeks ago also ordered the Italian chicken sandwich from Burger King, excited to try it again after they brought it back, took one bite and was so disappointed; your description of the sandwich is truly spot on. People do not get the Italian chicken sandwich it IS awful!!!!!
I love how politely and quietly this man eats.
He usually turns the chewing sound up ...
A consummate gentleman
Stop chewing with your mouth open
He is a god king
The fact he could see all the components and still taste flavorless goop is mind-boggling.
I think it tastes pretty good
Bold 2 out of 10 rating, Reviewbrah! Thanks for reporting without fear of consequence...it keeps me coming back for more!
The first bite that you took and the look on your face as your chewing tells us enough....🤣👍
Awsome review- had me laughing out loud !!
The best part of this guy’s schtick is that his three pieces aren’t like Peaky Blinders, they’re what a CPA would have worn in the late 80s to 90s. It’s preposterous
This sandwich was delicious back in the 90s but they changed something years ago when they brought it back and it’s not been good since.
Yup, all 3 chicken sandwiches were good. Was it italian, OG, and french?
when I was a kid their chicken sandwich was my favorite. I'm afraid to try it now
OK I'm not going crazy but there was a time this was actually good right
Wendys had something similar I think it was a mozzarella melt or something.
