tender dinner is for $3.99 the question is how sizeable is gonna be for 4 bucks
we're about to find out and hey while we're waiting let me remind you guys
that I actually checked out a version of the chicken tenders here at Sonic a
while back when I think it was called the spicy super crunch tenders so I'll
put the link to that in the upper right hand corner of your display right now
definitely check that one out if you haven't already all right it looks like
my car hop is on their way hey how you doin' brother very cool yes appreciate it thank you all
good signature sauce right yeah thanks so
much you too alright guys now let's get right up on it first for that closer
look before we peep out this flavor alright so the sonic crispy tender dinner
for $3.99 not a bad presentation here starting off with that Texas toast
they're nice and toasty nice and crispy looking and speaking of crispy check out
their famous tots here a pretty decent portion of those along with one lone
onion ring lightly breaded looking pretty nice we've got three crispy
tenders right there guys that's the star of the show we're gonna be focusing on
today lightly breaded there as well nice golden brown color on that one and then
you've got your signature sauce on the side for dipping so definitely diggin
the presentation the price for 4 bucks is definitely now bad and this
looks pretty tasty it's the crispy tender dinner for $3.99
here at Sonic America's drive-in let's get into it so for $3.99 not a bad little
box a crispy goodness guys and with the chicken tenders being about average I
guess you kind of expected that right let's see how the flavor truly is on
these
hmmm that's not bad semi juicy on the inside but the meat
itself is just a little on the thin side but I am digging the coating on this
guy's it's very nice it's not really super salty and it's got a very nice
breading flavor hmm you know the nice thing about these so far is it doesn't
feel like a formed piece of chicken to give you the presentation you see here
guys you can see the individual fibers on the inside and it really is 100%
white meat which is nice and the coating is very nice and crispy nice and brown
not overly fried and just overall a very nice flavor on this and hey let me get a
tot real fast before we jump into that signature sauce hmm
you can't go wrong with the tots here at Sonic these are pretty good so obviously
the signature sauce name is now trademarked because it is pretty common
but the last time I do remember having a signature sauce of some type was
actually at McDonald's when they actually had what they called signature
sauce let's see what this looks like you know what this actually looks like this
signature sauce from McDonald's guys it's got kind of like that orange type
of tinge to it there let's see how it is it's definitely got that Mickey D's
signature sauce appearance to it here and it is just as thick as I remember as
well pretty nice let's give it a bite the quote-unquote signature sauce here
at Sonic hmm it's actually more of a honey mustard type of barbecue sauce I'm
getting shades of chick-fil-a sauce but this actually guys even though the
appearance is more like the signature sauce from McDonald's this is getting me a
little bit more of that chick-fil-a vibe mmm it's delicious though that's really
nice a nice amount of sweetness with hints of barbecue and a little bit of
the honey mustard coming up on the back end
that is very very tasty let's get a little crazy with it real quick and try
some of this Texas toast with it real fast mmm no bueno let me give you one
more shot of the chicken strip here guys because this really is the star of the
show along with those individual fibers of the 100% white meat in this and then
obviously the signature sauce you guys can see at the end there a very nice
combo and I am very satisfied with the price point and the overall quality of
what you're getting here for the money guys like I said a nice box of crispy
goodness and the flavor sure delivers so far and I only say so far because we
haven't given the onion ring a shot yet let's hit it
hmmm that's actually really good there's a little bit of sweetness to the batter
on this guys I'm not really tasting the batter too much it's more like a direct
onion that I'm tasting which is a good thing because it feels like it's sauteed
it's got a really nice texture to it nice and smooth but then the sweetness
comes up and a little bit of the crunchiness from the batter itself it's
like a flash fry this is not overly breaded at all and the fact that you can
kind of most see through it which is kind of nice very tasty yeah guys so not bad
on this one I usually have a love/hate relationship with Sonic because I think
the prices tend to be a little bit more expensive than the need to be for the
type of food that they offer but this is a pretty good combo for $3.99 you get
those three chicken tenders you get the tots you get the Texas toast you get the
onion ring and that's signature sauce which again to me tastes like honey
mustard and barbecue which is a pretty nice combination but not bad for 4
bucks and a very easy recommendation guys pretty good so with all that said I
think overall I'm gonna have to give the crispy tender dinner here at Sonic for
$3.99 a pretty solid 8.5 out of 10 I think if the toast itself had a
little bit more flavor to it and the chicken strips themselves were just a
little bit thicker this would definitely be on par guys but as it stands a very
nice price point and again just a very tasty box of crispy goodness yesir
some pretty good stuff but guys do me a favor real fast drop some comments down
below let me know what you thought of the crispy tended dinner here at Sonic
for $3.99 does this one look like it was worth it to you in presentation if not
in the description of the flavors that I broke down for you drop those comments
down below and definitely let me know and with that this is Ian K closing out
