It may sound hyperbolic, and I promise you I was not — nor am I ever — paid to say this, but Jack in the Box's Spicy Cluck'n Sourdough tastes absolutely phenomenal. I haven't been this excited about a new fast-food item since Taco Bell combined a burrito with grilled cheese last summer.
As someone who loves spicy food, I thought Jack in the Box's sandwich had the perfect amount of heat from the fillet and stuffed jalapeños. The sourdough was perfectly toasted, while the cheese and bacon crumbles added even more flavor. But the chicken was the star of the show, with its crispy skin and tender meat still shining above everything else.
My friend Jessica, who came with me to the dinner (and is a fellow fast-food lover), was also a huge fan. Her only wish was that she had saved more room for it.
"I feel like the crispiness from both the chicken and poppers was amazing with the soft, toasty sourdough," she told me. "And the spice from the jalapeños and oozing cheese was magical."
And yes, reader, we were completely sober.
