Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty ...
Food Review!
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is Running On Empty Food Review.
I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
So I really just wanted to go all out with the hand movements for the intro and we got the bowtie this time around
because it is a
another revolutionary
creation from the the KF of the C as they say.
Chicken and
Waffles.
Who ever would have thought to put those two together?
You know, that's a that's a real new thing right there!
And KFC is kind of is leading the trend and they got chicken and waffles out. Now, they're really promoting this.
I mean, they're really just going all-out!
I got a lot of requests for this one, you know, it's checking the comments and people were saying,
"You know do the do the chicken and waffles from KFC." And I've been seeing commercials for it, ads online.
So they're really promoting this and what KFC is doing is they're kind of giving you a
little bit of a variety so to speak when it comes down to this. Where you can get it as a
chicken and waffles basket. So you can kind of get, you know, your chicken and
waffles on the side.
So, you know kind of like a little to two for one type of deal and I suppose you could eat them separately or together
or whatever you want to do with it. I mean you bought it.
It's it's yours to do with as you choose as they say. Or you can get the chicken and waffle sandwich
which kind of just puts the two together and
the waffles serve as buns and you have a chicken fillet covered with some hot honey sauce
I believe and
you know, you could eat it like a sandwich.
And I was sitting there. I was probably up for a good nine hours just laying in bed, you know, staring at the ceiling
because I was I was caught in very severe indecision. I was sitting there and I was thinking to myself,
"Which one should I do?
The basket or the sandwich?" A lot of people seem to be going for the basket and I don't blame them.
You know, it's more variety. It's got you know... I wanted to do the sandwich though.
That's what I'm gonna go with. I said, you know, I want to do something that puts them together,
you just you just get it all in one bite, see how well they do it.
I think when people come down to chicken and waffles, it's not really about the exact taste of it
And you know, is it done in this style or that style? I mean when it comes down to KFC?
We're really wondering
one question: Is it edible? And that's what we're gonna find out!
Now
before we
dig in here and here it is this is the wrapper right there for the sandwich. Price for this?
$5.99
Hey, I got to. I got it read this one. This is on their website.
I got the computer up here and this is probably the a most eloquently written
description of a fast food item I've ever seen. I'll just quote it verbatim. It says, "Chicken and waffle sandwich."
That there's a title.
"Portable
Indulgence"
"You don't even need a fork to enjoy our luxurious
Chicken and Waffles Sandwich. We tuck
one of our extra crispy fried chicken fillets onto a pair of
scrumptious
waffles drizzled with our signature Hot Honey sauce.
Give your mouth a little quote "me time" unquote
at the nearest KFC!" Isn't that just beautiful?
I know I see a few you in the back there trying to hide those tears, but just let them flow. Just let 'em flow!
It's all I can tell you. That was beautiful. That was it's incredible.
The chicken and waffle sandwich - portable
Indulgence. And it is portable. Look I'll give them credit for that thinking they didn't lie to you there.
Though it is
interesting compared to, you know, but it's like everything else right? Expectations versus reality.
It's kind of I don't know. It's just it's it's just it's towering. I mean it is
It is
mammoth it is.
Massive this thing is huge. I will
be honest, it is gigantic. I mean, let me hold this.
Look at this this is probably three feet tall!
Bigger than my own head.
Right? Yeah, not really.
That's not gonna happen. I'll probably destroy probably rip my mouth open if I tried to get this in one bite, you know?
Probably lose all my teeth, but this is gigantic the waffles, you know, very fluffy.
You can see it's covered with the sauce. You can see the chicken in there.
It's pretty thoroughly coated with that. Uh...
That breading.
I'm just you know, you know how the camera is sometimes but nonetheless right? There it is -
There's a good view of it! Crispy chicken covered with the
Hot Honey sauce. A little bit of the sweet heat as they say.

Alright, well, there we go. There we have it!
I don't know how I'm gonna try and tackle this thing, but I'll find a way to do it.
It's the chicken and waffle sandwich from KFC going in!
How do I tackle this?
I mean you can see I'm
kind of getting the bottom bun.
But,
Look, there's no there's there's no
possible way that I'm going to be able to eat this in one one bite!
There's, I mean, there's no way that's not going to happen!
And we'll take one more bite.
See that grease? Yes. Yeah, guess what I forgot? The napkins. Give me a minute. I'll be back!
So, what does it taste like?
It's interesting when it comes down to the chicken and waffles, you know, it's kind of like a clash. When when you're really thinking, "Well,
it needs to have some sort of,
you know, some sort of balance." I think that goes with a lot of items. Where
what I noticed there was really just one issue that kind of
that kind of called out to me
so to speak with this chicken and waffle sandwich from KFC because overall I'll say this very
succinctly. It's tasty. It's pretty good. The waffles are fluffy. It's bigger than I thought it would be.
But the waffles are fluffy they have a little bit of, you know,
sweetness, as you would expect they kind of have that little maple syrup, honeyesque glaze to them. The chicken?
It's actually a nice juicy piece of chicken. Tastes pretty good. Just good quality overall and very large portion size. So a thumbs up
right there! When it comes down to uh, just the product that I'm given. And as to the taste? The waffles -
I mean they work out
completely fine. I mean no issues there whatsoever.
Good quality and lots of it. Here's my one and only issue:
The Hot Honey sauce that comes with the chicken. I don't think that was a good idea to be honest because...
Look at it this way, right?
Sometimes if something is done as hot honey, it really does work out nicely. Sometimes it falls flat on its face and
this is an issue. You have these fluffy sweet waffles - taste good.
You have the juicy piece of chicken - tastes good - it all blends together well.
You have this sweetness and you know kind of the just a juiciness of the chicken, but it all works!
Right? It just all blends together and then you have the spiciness and
to me
it was kind of like the spiciness that you would
expect like on maybe like
buffalo wings so to speak. And that
just doesn't work!
It just it's it's just very very
out of place with what this is.
I mean some spiciness, you know, that's fine. But I mean, there's all different levels of spiciness all different types of
sauces and dressing and all of that.
This one just doesn't work. It's delicious aside from that
but with every bite you get just this very off-putting spiciness that just completely
completely
clashes with everything else on this sandwich! And that's an issue.
Spare straw.
But...
Aside from that, I mean, it tastes pretty good.
But that's a big problem because the spiciness, and that's not an intense spiciness at all,
but it is very out of place and that's an issue because otherwise it tastes great - has this
good sweetness to it. It's it's I mean, it tastes really good aside from that spiciness.
Completely unnecessary and I think that should be done away with! I think they should just keep it sweet,
keep it simple, and get rid of that spiciness because it
really detracts somewhat as otherwise a very well executed and the surprisingly delicious sandwich from KFC.
Price for this? $6
That being said I'm gonna be giving this a 7 out of 10.
It's a 7 out of 10 because I mean look if that spiciness was gone
this would be in the upper 9's out of 10. It was that good. I really did enjoy it.
But that spiciness - it's just really off-putting -
but I mean, it's good enough to the point where you can kind of look past it and it'll still be decent, but
really, they could have made some changes to it.
I think maybe for the next time, if they rerelease it, just get rid of that spiciness and it tastes a lot better!
