hello everyone this is running on empty Food review well hello ladies gentlemen
and everyone watching welcome one and all to this newest edition of The Running on
Empty Food review series I'm your host the report of the week thanks for checking in
so Burger King but yeah they did it again as I think we all know by now at least in this day and
age when I think of Burger King I I just think of Excellence you know that's the first thing
that just comes to mind I think of excellence and consistency in everything that they do now
I'm glad I caught this when I did and there's sort of a silver lining I suppose
so I was checking around I have these resources that I look at for
um fast food news and some of the latest fast food releases so I know what's being talked about
what's being hyped up what I might review next etc etc which I think is pretty straightforward
and uh I saw that Burger King was coming out with a new lineup of sandwiches I thought well
I tried out something from Burger King not too long ago and it was totally disgusting
the worst thing from Burger King that I've ever had quite frankly I thought so well you know they
might actually be releasing a chicken sandwich that's edible this time you know that's great
so I was excited for this they were coming out with the new
honey mustard BK Royal crispy chicken sandwich premium chicken sandwich yeah not bad
seven to eight dollars price but it's premium you're gonna have a real allegedly high quality
chicken fillet it's going to come with some honey mustard swiss cheese bacon lettuce tomato okay
sounds like a complete sandwich it might even have a shot that's being all right so
sorry about that
I get it I ordered the meal I got myself some root beer as a drink
it arrives get everything set up for the review and checking the bag
I I see this I think went on what on Earth is this you know
this doesn't seem like a like a chicken sandwich you know I'm feeling it it's like it's soggy
it's very flexible it's small I'm thinking to myself what on Earth is this sorry I open it up
I see this tortilla right here
thinking what on Earth and apparently like I said Burger King is obviously known for
its Excellence but uh even still I guess they still have their days where where there's some
confusion Etc and apparently they gave me the Burger King and now this is still a
new item so that's why I'm still even doing this this is what I'm talking about with the
Silver Lining but apparently they gave me their new Royal Crispy Chicken Wrap
instead of the BK Royal crispy chicken sandwich with the honey mustard so I got the wrap instead
but thankfully Burger King despite substituting it still charged me the eight dollars for the
the sandwich instead of the 299 that this wrap would would uh cost so they they made out there
and uh there you have it so this is still new I'm still gonna try it but uh it's just disappointing
you know the problem was that once I got the item and I looked in the bag I realized wait a minute
this isn't this isn't what I what I ordered or paid for because then I saw the receipt and it
was still for the the sandwich problem was that the Burger King had already closed because this
is in the evening right now so uh I'm kind of just dead in the water now this wrap is
still new still gonna try it out but you know I'll admit I'm a bit bummed out at this point
because I was really looking forward to trying out that chicken sandwich that's what's being
hyped up the thing actually looked decent and instead I've got this uh soggy looking wrap
right here that uh I mean it might still be good but I don't know I was just hoping that
try something a bit better I like doing these reviews for all of you and trying to you know
provide a little insight as to how good or bad this new release is and instead I get this
oh well and uh I don't know just it's disappointing I just don't try to be better than
this for the reviews but it is what it is so being that I can't try out the chicken sandwich that I
wanted to try I'll make do with the wrap I guess this is still a new item though this is still new
so this is still a valid review it's not what I was not what I was really looking forward to
reviewing and what I was hoping to review and you know that's always a shame when that happens but
what could you do I guess so this item again is called the BK Royal Crispy Chicken Wrap and uh the
whole royal lineup of sandwiches is something that emerged I think it was in 2021 and what that is
those are the premium chicken sandwiches you know they say look it's going to be chicken sandwiches
that have actually edible and uh then they've released them because they did a big release
this month they said all right along with the honey mustard one that we'll be releasing as a
sandwich we are also going to be releasing these sandwiches as wraps for the snacking or if you
just prefer to eat it has a wrap and it'll include the same high quality chicken in a tortilla
the sauce lettuce and tomato and there were three different types of wraps you could order the
original Crispy Chicken Wrap which is what I got by accident where it includes the chicken fillet
lettuce tomato they say they're Savory Royal sauce which is what this is uh what this is doused in
you could also order one that's the spicy version where it just has some spicy sauce I believe
and then the honey mustard one that has the honey mustard and I think bacon in it but uh
very soggy but that makes sense because they're obviously the application of the
sauce was extremely extremely liberal and uh you know the chicken fillet looks small and uh the
Tomato though that is a big tomato though I'll give them that some lettuce I guess that's kind
of like what you'd expect from from Burger King if you were to get a wrap they're from
anyway price for this three dollars and uh my apologies again I know this review is a bit
of a mess but you know I was just really hoping to try out something different and
uh you know it is what it is but we will see we'll see how this wrap winds up being again
I'm sorry I wanna I really wanted to try out that sandwich especially the the new
one instead this is what I wound up with but uh we'll see certainly it doesn't look like the most
impressive wrap in the world but maybe it'll taste good let's not judge a book by its cover
and uh well let's try it out let's see at least how this tastes how that that sauce is and if this
is a worthwhile wrap so the Royal Crispy Chicken Wrap still new from Burger King it's going in
the wrap itself it's actually better thankfully I mean I figure it would have to be a bit difficult
not to be but it was better than that Italian uh chicken sandwich from Burger King that I tried
out in the last Burger King review that I did so I'm happy to report that is the quality of this as
high as let's say if you actually got the premium chicken sandwich as the quality necessarily is
high as a what you would be getting from that no it's it's not is it is it acceptable I would
say so but it's at the low end of acceptable I would say barely acceptable you know it's a wrap
it's uh I mean I don't think you're really going to be going into this expecting
the world I think we all know that you know it says this is Burger King we're talking about here
personally if I were to go there and and get myself a chicken sandwich I would say okay
I'm gonna get the premium chicken sandwich you know the the at least what's allegedly high
quality I would probably bypass the wraps but that's just that's just my personal preference
but I understand some people prefer the wraps they're more convenient to eat in some ways
I'm sure it's easier if you're on the go to just hold the wrap and you know eat it it's cheaper
it's right more inexpensive I understand and for what it is it's totally acceptable obviously as
you can see though three dollars it would be on average there's still a lot of empty space there
I think you could see at both ends of it just how much tortilla there is it's just totally empty
and uh of actually the entire area of the tortilla you could probably see that maybe less than half
of it actually has anything in it so in terms of the actual amount of substance in this item
it's quite limited and the chicken fillet definitely not the same high quality as what
I at least I would expect to see on the sandwich by that I mean because I've reviewed their Royal
crispy chicken sandwich lineup before when you bite into the sandwich the quality of
the chicken it's actually it's different than what you would see on those the long chicken
sandwiches or in their nuggets or their chicken fries or anything of that nature right because
those sorts of items the chicken has this like the spongy cheap quality to it whereas on the
sandwiches it's actually like a sliced chicken fillet you know it's it's juicy it's thicker it
has more substance to it and you could obviously discern that right the sort of spongy chicken
you could just taste it even texturally and then the actual sandwiches it's just totally different
and this on the other hand still has that cheap spongy Chicken in it which is disappointing I
think some people will get these wraps they'll see oh the Royal crispy you know they'll think that
it's at higher quality chicken but then when you actually bite into it you realize no it's just the
same old same old which is a shame is it something that I'm necessarily surprised by not in the least
but it's still a shame nonetheless and uh it obviously shows now I will add though this
chicken at least tastes like something when I had that Italian chicken sandwich the other day that
thing was flavorless it was total garbage it was just total total garbage oh it was awful
I couldn't taste anything this I thankfully could at least taste it at least at least it tastes
like chicken and uh that's all right I'm just checking the time otherwise the Royal crispy sauce
as a matter of fact you know I see that the time on this review is running a little a little uh
don't have much memory left on the camera I'm gonna pause this I'm just going to get
some more space on the camera because I'm not going to rush this one so I'll be right back
all right there we go now we've got some more time plenty of it actually so uh I just didn't want to
rush this video so anyway as far as the chicken quality is concerned the uh you could obviously
taste that spongy chicken you notice it and I think people would have hoped better again you
know I've already gone over that I don't think I need to say anything else so the rest of the wrap
I will give them this the quality of that tomato is actually acceptable if there's one thing on
this that I'm actually a bit pleasantly surprised at it's the Tomato it's fresher than I thought it
would be it's got this nice crisp to it Now by crisp I don't mean that it's you know it's not
like it's it was dunked in the fryer or anything like that I just mean that it's fresh you know
has that crisp firmness to it that's really what I'm looking
for and uh it's juicy and flavorful it's actually a good tomato probably uh
probably deserved to be on a good chicken sandwich but nonetheless still a good tomato lettuce on the
other hand and not the highest quality I could tell that it's nowhere near as fresh as the
Tomato itself is and you know it just has that sort of soggy very flimsy sort of even chewy in
a sense captivistic to it the lettuce could be high quality and then the Royal sauce which they
describe as being very Savory there is a little bit of a Savory aspect to it but a lot of it it's
just very watered down sauce that's what I notice it's very runny if there weren't so much room
available on this tortilla I could easily see it all just dripping out and um instead most of the
tortilla here have acted like a sponge of sorts and just absorbed it but otherwise I could see
it being a bit messy not the most flavorful sauce in the world you know there's again little savory
familiar to it not quite ranch dressing but it's got some some similar characteristics to that but
it's not it's not quite you know it's mostly just runny it's not the most flavorful sauce
in the world it's kind of just there it mostly serves the purpose of giving a little bit of
moisture to the uh to the whole wrap which isn't necessary in this instance it's not necessary I'm
trying to say because you already have that juicy tomato which does enough but I guess the sauce
it's kind of just there I would have hoped for a bit more but uh it is what it is there
I guess it's like given the quality of this wrap I would just think to myself okay this is the sort
of item that I would expect to get if they had a dollar menu and this is just some sort of cheap
snack that you would go get for the dollar I would expect this sort of quality from that
but to put this with their premium lineup of chicken sandwiches and then you're paying three
dollars for this that's still a bit disappointing if you ask me because the quality just isn't there
and I think people will get this expecting it to be a little bit better than it is now is it
still acceptable yeah I would say so I obviously ate this I'm not grossed out it doesn't taste bad
but it's just barely acceptable it's like I think most people will go into this expecting better
especially when earlier in the year place like KFC released their chicken wraps which
were inexpensive and were they were awesome they tasted great so then you might see a review like
that you'll see oh Burger King's doing something like that too then you actually get it and it's
like wow yeah they kind of they dropped the ball once again now for me my personally disappointed
because here I was all psyched up and excited for trying out a uh premium chicken sandwich looking
forward to it then I get this instead yeah yeah I am personally disappointed but you know what
that bias has no influence on this review I'm just trying out the product here for what it is
so could be better could be worse I think people will have expected better though but just barely
acceptable therefore out of ten I'm going to be giving the Royal crispy chicken wrap from Burger
King I'm gonna give it a 5.8 out of 10. yeah it's acceptable if you want a cheap snack I mean
it's up to you three dollars though it should be better for what it is even that could could be a
bit better so that's all that I have for you thank you for watching my apologies again for this sort
of mishap of sorts but I'm just trying to make the best of it still thankful very thankful that I was
able to uh try out at least a new item anyway and uh again I'm sorry about this all but if I'm able
to I'll still get that review for the sandwich so that'll hopefully be coming up soon as well
all right thank you all for bearing with me today and that's all that I
have for you until next time I'm your host the report of the week
