No beef with chicken sales

The new southern chicken sandwich is awful. I'm a big fan of McDonald's and they definitely dropped the ball on this one.

I don't know, I guess it's a matter of taste, because two of my co-workers really liked it.

McD's would do well to copy as many things about Chick Fil-A as they can.

Chick Fil-A is by far the best fast food I've ever had, and their service has always blown away all other fast food restaurants.

Does anyone know about any comparitive employee satisfaction rankings? My bet is that CFA's employees rank much higher in employee satisfaction, but I'd like to see.

The tobacco companies were forced to put warning labels on their product. McDonalds should be required to do the same.

I heard Chick-Fil-A is going to be making a move into the Chicago area by the end of the year, yippee!

Lighten up!

YUCK! what an unappealing meal. how is fried chicken on a biscuit a healthy alternative for breakfast. just more greasy, fat and carb laden junk food to help fuel the health crisis in america.

I bought one the other day. It wasn't bad, but I doubt I buy one again. Something is just not right having chicken for breakfast.

No one should be eating anything from McDonald's for breakfast. Pathetic!

i say not. first of all, you pay $3.00 for a chicken sandwich the size of a mcchicken (which is only $1.00) and do not even get condiments on it, oh wait, im sorry, 2, thats right, TWO pickles. WHAT A RIP OFF!!!! people in the south maybe willing pay eat and pay that, but you won't find it being a hit out here.

Why put pickles on a chicken sandwich? Do pickles and chicken go together? Are pickles a breakfast food? Hmmmmm. I'd try a grilled version (without the pickles) if they made it.

What's the use of talking and comparing Chick-fil-a with McDs if you cannot get it in Chicago to compare? Chick might have the best tasting chicken sandwich out there but McD is the only choice we have in Chicago. Or else drive 200-300 miles for a 140$ chicken sandwich(for the gas spent)- Don't think they are that good.

Oh my! Haven't you heard the little screams of all those innocent plant cells as your molars grind up your celery sticks? In the interests of conscience and global responsibility, you may have to give up food altogether!

Great, yet another fattening, non-nutritious, carb-loaded offering from McDonalds. Yet another fried thing lazy parents can stuff down their kids throat in the morning before they drop them off at school. Then blame the school when their kid is so fat they need new clothes every few months. Ugh.

Amen to that!

Yeah. I tried this the other day and opened it and thought, WTF! No mayo, no mustard, nothing.

I care.....

The main story on the Tribune's website this morning is that McDonald's is now offering a chicken sandwich for breakfast. The story features a large, bold headline and a large color photo of the sandwich. To the right of this newsflash, in vastly smaller type and without any photos, is a story mention ing that, oh yeah, there are still about 18,000 people buried under rubble after the earthquake in China. What a sorry state of affairs this is. it's also indicative of where the news media assigns its priorities. Shameful, just shameful.

In most areas, McD cuts off the breakfast sandwiches at 10:30am. That's where they lose my business. Fried chicken and burgers will not do for BF. They won't do the obvious: THEY KNOW NOTHING!

Fried chicken for breakfast is gross. Why not just make a tuna fish sandwich while they're at it? McGriddles are ok, but I would rather have a sausage McMuffin with Egg.

If the new McDonald's chicken sandwiches are ever included on the dollar menu, I'll give them a try otherwise I'll stick with the double cheeseburger.

Chick-fil-A didn't invent the chicken, just the chicken sandwich. McDonald's version is a poor facsimile.

You said it! Chick-fil-A makes me miss the south. Why oh why can't we get one here? Someone told me that the closest one to Wheaton is in Racine. What a shame!
