I shall try the McDonals sandwich but only out of curiousity.

As a person who's been eating both McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A my entire life, the winner hands-down is Chick-Fil-A. There is no other fast food chain I can think of that has great customer service, fresh food, and amazing taste. Chick-Fil-A takes a fresh boneless breast of chicken (on site), seasons it to perfection, breads it, and finally pressure cooks it in 100%peanut oil. On the other hand, McDonalds has pre-breaded frozen chunks of meat arrive on a truck in bulk and throws it into a common deep fryer (which many other things are cooked in).

I was pretty shocked when I heard a commericial for the McDonalds version where a female remarks "I'd like to find the man who found this chicken and shake his hand". The man is Truett Cathy, my friend. The founder of Chick-Fil-A.

To me, the decision is simple.

Whoever said that CFA marinates their CFA sandwiches in pickle juice then you're wrong. I work at a chick-fil-a here in Cincinnati Ohio and I've worked in the back a lot of times and they have never marinated them in pickle juice. I think Mcd's does that b/c the last sandwich I had without the pickles tasted just like pickles only and the last few sandwiches I've had from there were all bland.

Don't forget about differences is service and cleanliness.
Chick fil a has much better service in general. There are a few bad stores for chick fil a compared to a few good stores by McDonalds. You also don't feel like you're going to get a disease in the bathrooms. The sweet tea at Chick-Fil-A is always fresh and the same everywhere.
Overall, unless its Sunday, go to Chick-fil-a. Even if its 30 miles farther than McDonalds.

I've eaten the sandwich for Breakfast & lunch at McDonald's. It is tasty, if you like the flavor of pickle juice. It was very consistent in browning & texture, but I will tell you I don't like condiments & the one thing I didn't like was the taste of PICKLES!!!

Today, my dad took my daughter to McDonald's, not one close to me & raved about this sandwich. They ordered them to be made to order. When my daughter got it, she said it tasted like it had something on it. My dad looked it over & wasn't happy that she was complaining, it had nothing on it. She told me when she got home it tasted like pickles. I thought maybe they prepped it with pickles & pulled them off when they made one ordered without condiments. Like I said, the breakfast one tasted like the juice as well. I decided to blog & this site came up when I mentioned pickle juice. Does anyone work at McD's that can confirm this. It actually really caused an argument.

Mmm, it's so watery... and yet there's a smack of wieners to it!
