I probably should be boycotting all of McDonald's menu items for health reasons, but I'm boycotting this particular sandwich for one simple reason-- it's not what it says it is.
More accurately, it's not what McDonald's advertising team says it is. This is not a revolution. This is not the "introduction of chicken for breakfast" as they would have you believe. This isn't even an original idea. Do you know how McDonald's probably came up with this sandwich? One of their executives probably was hankering for a breakfast snack, and since he knows better than to eat at his own establishment he stopped at Chik-fil-a. Well, as you may know, Chik-fil-a INVENTED the chicken sandwich, and has been doing "chicken for breakfast" since at LEAST 2004 when "chick-n-minis" clucked onto the menu. Oh, they also make a chicken biscuit--the same style biscuit that McDonald's perpetrates to have thought up this year. I'm picturing the soulless executive biting into the Chick-fil-a biscuit and thinking, "Hot damn this is good! we should sell this ourselves. Hmmm, but we need to make it our own. I know, we'll just SAY we made it up. We're McDonald's, what are you going to do about it?" And the rest was questionable history.
I don't even need to describe the pre-McDonald's Southern Style Chicken Biscuit heaven that is the Whataburger Honey-butter Chicken Biscuit (HBCB) since sadly, Whataburger is not a nationwide chain. However, I guarantee that it is better than the fowl-fueled abortion McDonald's is offering.
So please, do not buy this ripoff sandwich from McDonald's. Treat yourself to the original instead, and feel better about yourself at night.

I had a Chick-fil-a chicken biscuit on the way to work this morning and it was fabulous. You should quit fighting your fatness and go get one.
