Yeah, that must have been an outlier (which are bound to happen)…I convinced my lady to come with, just so I could have two, and of the two, one was so big I actually had to eat around the bun for a bit before I could get into the actual sandwhich, while the other seemed like regular size. If I had been eating next to that poor girl who got snubbed, I would’ve gladly shared to compensate for her loss (although I doubt my woman would have been too pleased about that).

Chicken Nugget on a bun!
Brilliant!

Mine was regular sized…. and the rumbling inside my stomach 3 hours later reaffirms that.

I had no problems with mine. It was a pretty normal sized McDonald’s sandwich.

hopefully this was just an isolated occurrence. nonetheless, a buttery bread battered slap in the face.

I think the promo (at least here in DFW) was a free breakfast chicken biscuit with purchase of a beverage. that might explain the tiny chicken

wish I could say the same, but my chicken patty actually spilled outside the bun.

My sandwich (purchased at 3rd Ave., between 50th and 51st) was similarly pathetic. It’s somewhat comforting that not everyone was similarly ripped off.

I am thinking this was a promotion for the toddler size sandwich, or the adult “bitewich”.

Reminds me of those Where’s the Beef? Wendy’s commercials.

I had the free chicken sandwich last night. I didn’t have a problem with the size, just the long wait.

If they promise X, and deliver Y, where Y < X, then yes, the person who wasted their time waiting in line for X and receives Y was both screwed and ripped off.

My time is vastly more valuable than the cost of the sandwich.

Then i suggest you use some of the renumeration for your time and buy a sarnie instead of being a freeloading mardarse.

My sandwich was served on a regular bun, but whoa, I only got ONE pickle. Not the two seen in the picture above. Nonetheless, it’s FREE, so I’m keeping my complaining to a minimum.

Regular bun?? The reason the samich is solid is because of the special bun they use! In my opinion, the person who got the regular bun got way more “screwed” than the chick who got the smaller chicken patty.

I asked for lettuce on my Southern Chicken sandwich and was told that it would be an extra charge. I declined. As for size, mine was a nice size.
The trick was to get the cheapest medium drink to make this the best value, and I found the coffee for $1.39 to be the cheapest.

I thought it was quite good… much akin to Chick-fil-A (which, from a native of the Deep South is a pretty big compliment!). I had a friend who went back and got the same sandwich the next day and said it was much bigger and the chicken patty was significantly bigger as well. I think they were just skimping a bit on the free promo (which I guess is fair enough).
