JUNIOR CHICKEN
This sandwich is an enigma that has marveled people from all tax brackets since 1980. People of all ages and sizes flock to their local McDonald's restaurants to just get a taste of this beautiful tasting sandwich known as a Junior Chicken (Or McChicken for you American readers).
From the sweet bun to the spicy chicken, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this burger. The chicken is perfectly spiced to give you just a small kick, without overdoing it. The bun (which, by the way, is just a regular hamburger bun), is also sweetened just enough to offset the spice and umami from the chicken. Now, lets break this burger down, starting with the bun.
The bun of the junior chicken, although simple, is very tasty. With just enough sugar added to make it slightly sweet, it perfectly complements the other ingredients. Although this may be the most unhealthy aspect of this sandwich, I wouldn't change it in any way.
The second aspect of this glorious sandwich is the lettuce. There isn't much lettuce that is better than the classic McDonald's shredded lettuce (to be honest, I usually add extra lettuce to my JC's). It adds nice texture and moisture to the burger, and really keeps it from being too dry. I find it is also a crucial ingredient as it adds a certain flavour that other vegetables just can't.
The third ingredient we will be talking about is the sauce. Being a slightly spicy mayonnaise, I can't resist but to ask for a bit extra every time I order a junior chicken. Just like the lettuce, it adds just enough moisture to keep the burger from getting dry, without making the sandwich soggy. The mayonnaise also adds a slight tang that is highly desirable. Without the mayo, can you even call a junior chicken a junior chicken?
The fourth and last part of the junior chicken is, of course, the chicken. Crispy on the outside, hot and juicy on the inside. This patty is decadent. Also being slightly spicy, it not only adds texture, but a kick that makes this sandwich all the more irresistible. The junior chicken patty is what takes the prize for this beautiful burger.
Overall, the junior chicken is undoubtedly one of the best - if not the best - burgers at McDonald's. No ingredients in this burger are detrimental to the flavour. However, if you bite into this burger but still feel that something is missing, try adding thai sauce, or a tomato slice. Some people find that these ingredients add an extra tang that the mayonnaise can't quite reach. Overall, I would rate this sandwich 9.5-10 / 10. It is almost perfect.
