New at McDonalds

Before I had kids, I always imagined I would be the kind of mother who never took her kids to McDonald's. In my parenting fantasies, I was home baking with fresh ingredients and serving gourmet meals to my perfect, happy family.

But it turns out, I am not a good cook.

Also, McDonald's food is delicious and they have a drive thru window. I love the drive thru. I don't have to drag all five hundred of my kids out of the car just so they can embarrass me in public by misbehaving in yet another restaurant.

Today, at McDonald's, there was a new item on the menu. The Southern Style Chicken Sandwich. Sounds good! Bring it on!

Right out of the box, it isn't much to look at. The bun was freakishly shiny, which was off putting at first.
There is no sauce on it either, so I had to send a kid back into McDonald's to get Mama some mayo.

Surprisingly, it tasted almost exactly like the Chick-Fil-A Classic Chicken Sandwich. Not quite as good. I don't think the chicken was processed, so it was like a regular piece of chicken. That's an improvement over the weird chicken patty you get on the McChicken sandwich. It was really moist and had a lot of flavor. I probably didn't need to add mayonnaise. The pickles were mild and crunchy. I think I'd still choose Chick-Fil-A, but in a pinch, this is a pretty decent sandwich.
