Review: Hungry Jacks has truly booked a one way ticket to hell with its advertorial bombasticity and outright lies about this burger.

40% bigger than other fried chicken burgers: "Other", which other? I can not believe this to be true. Burgers in Oompa Loompa land would be bigger than this burger.
Big: False, it is the same or smaller than their other chicken items and is definitly smaller than the KFC Zinger.
Thick: False, it is not thick. Again the KFC Zinger is thicker and so are Nandos chicken burgers
Crunchy: Slightly. But most of the time the fried crunchy element offered nothing.
Juicy: Slightly, again. It wasn't cooked poorly and was decent.
An epic eating experience: False, There is nothing epic about this burger. The Whopper is far more epic.
Spicy: Barely. Occasionally there was a slight tinge of spicy but no heat, I initially assumed I had been given the wrong burger.

I have no idea what the yellow cheese/sauce? stuff in this burger is. All in all it was no better and barely different to any of their other chicken burgers, The fried element adding basically nothing.

1) it is not a burger, it is a chicken sandwich. as it does not contain hamburger patty, but rather a chicken patty. that's like calling a meat/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich an "egg burger" or a "bacon burger"

2) It looks like they use the same supply line as US Burger King for the chicken, I wonder if that's true. When I got one in the US it came in a cardboard box instead of a wrapper and the bun looked fluffy like in the promo pic. It didn't taste any better than a flattened bun in a wrapper-ed sandwich, but it looked like the picture on the menu. It was also one of the most expensive items on the menu. Is that also true over there in Hungry Jack Land?

It's actually really neat to learn how things are different in another country, especially when you speak the same language and can trace the origin back to where we both branched apart centuries ago. I enjoyed reading your post. But I had to defend my American Burger Honor.

A burger is ground meat formed into a patty. It is probably served on a bun. It may contain additional ingredients such as eggs and breadcrumbs for texture and to cheaply increase the yield of burger meats. It is grilled. Sometimes you say gently caress it and pan fry them on the stovetop.

Turkey burgers and salmon burgers are not a super popular item in the US, you won't find them in a drive thru fast food place. But if you said you had a turkey burger for dinner last night most people would understand that you meant a patty of ground meat, like a beef hamburger and all that entails. Same recipe more or less, just with a different type of meat.

You can get ground/minced chicken at most grocers but for whatever reason chicken burgers are Not A Thing in the same as a turkey burger. If you called something a chicken burger I would still assume it was this though. Ground chicken prepared like a ground beef hamburger patty.

A chicken sandwich is almost always breaded and fried. It could be cheap meat paste like a big flat chicken nugget, or it could be an actual chunk of chicken meat. But it's breaded and fried. It is not prepared like a hamburger and it is not grilled like a hamburger. A breaded fried piece of chicken is not a burger.

Australians do this btw, you can get a brekky burger (bacon, egg, cheese, maybe greens, and usually some sauce) at most cafes now

I'm disappointed to hear the HJs one sucks, it looks really good in the ad. I just want Australia to get the crispy chicken craze/get more fried chicken places than KFC :negative:

Edit: in Australia the "burger" designation has moved from the meat to the ["hamburger"] bun. So an Australian burger is characterised by a burger-style bun regardless of filling

What the hell is Hungry Jack's? There's no way the Hungry Jack that waits out back for us to throw out the expired cereal or noodles or whatever owns a business.

Keep goin Hungry Jack.

So if you ask for a "plain burger" do they just hand you the bun?

Depending on context they might assume you want a beef burger, but like if you're at a chicken place they'd probably assume a chicken burger.

It'd probably be confusing though, like asking for a "plain sandwich"

I thought it was better than HJs usually does but still pretty poo poo.

The comically false ad depiction with all the craggily fried batter is inexcusable though. The burgers are smooth.

Getting those crags isn't even hard, KFC manages it.

I dunno what this is, but it sure as poo poo ain't 'a burger' and you should leave your country of origin immediately, out of shame, for brighter shores, because good god.
