I’m always a little worried when McDonalds releases a new burger.. it just never seems to go very well. Despite being one of my favourite places to eat, they really broke my heart when they introduced the new Angus burger and got rid of the Big Xtra! Regardless, when I heard about the new Teriyaki McChicken, I thought I might as well give it a try.
Prior to going, I asked a friend of mine that tried the Teriyaki Quarter Pounder how it was. His exact words were “don’t do it.” I didn’t listen, made my way over to the McDonalds by Wal-Mart and decided to get the Teriyaki McChicken combo. I also got a 10-Piece McNuggets, just in case the burger was as bad as I heard it was.
Not suprisingly, the burger looks exactly like what it is: A McChicken with some teriyaki sauce slapped on the bottom. As far as taste goes, the burger is mediocre at best. The Teriyaki sauce doesn’t really mix well with the McChicken sauce (mayo), and has an overpowering flavour. By the time I finished the burger, I was glad that I had the extra nuggets to satisfy my McDonalds craving.
Five Loaves Rating:
Quality: 5/10
