Continuing our interstate tour of the best and worst fast food value menu staples, I rambled into the Colonel’s lair for his seemingly bite sized snacker. A proud staple of the menu after a gimmick run years ago, the Snacker has spawned many different varieties based on in its all too simple premise of double battered chicken strip, lettuce, and Colonel’s Sig sauce, smothered around a sesame seed bun.
With buffalo, cheddar, honey bbq, and fish varieties (yes KFC has fish), I decided that it was best to go with the og as a barometer for the rest of the bunch. While it seems like it could be hard to screw this up, my local KFC was up to the task.
First thing that’s easy to notice is the complete and utter disregard for lettuce. Just a completely forgotten about ingredient.
The awkward and puny shaped strip of chicken was carelessly tossed on, with the delicate nature of a monkey tossing feces around. Fake grill marks on the bun were a nice touch, but it really felt like they were painted on before filming. The famous Colonel’s sauce was spattered on there, but there really wasn’t a satisfying amount applied.
