Actually like the new southern style chicken.
opcorn: Compared to the original chicken they have, this new chicken is more tender and is actually juicy. Funny you should mention the taste of pickles...I noticed the slight taste of pickles as well. Don't know whether the chicken sandwiches were prepared in advance with pickles, and the pickles were then removed from the chickens of non-pickle customers....or...the breading has the pickle taste.Chick-Fil-A chickens are also with pickle, unless otherwise ordered without. Could that be a southern thing? I didn't think so...with me being from the south all my life.

Tonight was springfest in town square and since my kids haven't visited any types of fairs or carnivals since CA. we decided to surprise them. I am so glad we did, they had so much fun and I have not seen them laugh that much in a long time.
I told my husband that we should eat something elsewhere before going or it would cost us an arm and leg. I grabbed my free sandwich coupon on the way out the door and we went to McDonalds. I am with you 3mnkids1 , the sandwich was blah and I don't like pickles with chicken. I split what I didn't want and gave it to the kids. I told my husband the least they could do was add some honey mustard or mayo and drop the pickles for a better taste. I do like the spicey chicken sandwiches they have.

I've lived in the south all my life and I hate pickles with chicken! The only way I like pickles is by themselves...I could eat a jar of them at a time if it wasn't for my kidneys... I think the breading on that chicken though!!
I LOVE Chik-Fil-A though...I love their chicken sandwiches without the pickles! I could eat there all the time also.

I can probably guess what happened. The regular sandwich comes with pickles (nothing else). The person making up your breakfast sandwich probably inadvertently threw pickles on it and then took them off when they realized they goofed probably forgetting it wasn't the regular sandwich. I've had both, and there's no pickle taste on the chicken itself; and the chicken itself is actually really good. However, we northerners don't normally eat pickles with chicken either. I don't know why they came up with that.

I was never concerned with calories and cholesterol. Everyone reacts differently to different things, and too much of a good thing and not enough of a bad thing can have detrimental health effects too on some people.
Did you know there was a doctor in the '30's that was all into the study of nutrition and health that claimed if you ate nothing but vegetables you would have a long life. Well, he ate nothing but vegetables and died of hardening of the arteries at the age of 45! :crazytongue:
There have been so many changes in what's good for you and what's bad for you through the years, I don't even listen to it anymore. They can never seem to fully figure it out!opcorn:

I'm 45, and the cholesterol is just fine. You also have to remember, it's also relevant on your activity level too. In Europe, they eat their fats without very much concern; but they are extremely more physically active than most people here--they walk and ride bicycles most of the time. They have bike racks there like we have parking spaces here! :scratch:
...and if you really want to have a heart attack, you should see what body builders eat. I remember watching Lou Ferigno on TV showing what he ate just for breakfast which included a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon!

It is so weird the way things work...hubby is the picture of health ~ slim, active and his triglicerides are through the roof ~ almost 700! Here I am over weight and nowhere as active as I should be and my triglicerides are perfect! We eat basically the same diet, except I think he actually eats better than I do at times ~ I think a lot of it is due to his family! It just runs high ~ they told him he was a walking heart attack waiting to happen...
Bacon is a big weakness of mine that is why I hardly ever fix any ~ I know better!

Party pooper! Don't you want to strut around on the beach in a bikini with all those bulging muscles and no chest!
(shuddering again...) I don't see how anyone thinks that is attractive!! As bad as I think I look overweight, I think I would look worse like that!!
Sorry about the post in the post...don't know what I did there!
