    Yeah I don’t understand the people who claim Chick-fil-a is bland.

    Soggy, sure, sometimes. All fried food can be soggy, if you go on a bad day and you get a piece that’s been sitting for too long.

    No spice, sure. Spice is relatively subjective. They do have the spicy sandwich which I think is better than the plain, but that’s my opinion, other people may not agree.

    White meat, yeah, they use white meat. I like white meat, when it’s done well, but again, that’s subjective.

    Bland though, I just can’t fathom. The way Chick-fil-a prepares their chicken before frying is a wet brine. Chemically, there is no way for wet-brined chicken to come out bland. Either osmosis takes place and salt gets inside the meat, or osmosis doesn’t happen because the salt was already there. And Chick-fil-a’s quality standards are stringent, so a particular franchise couldn’t get away with skipping that step, at least not for long. So you can call Chick-fil-a many things, but if someone calls it bland, I question if they’ve actually eaten there.

      AND YET IT IS. It’s only excitement is the pickle and fighting traffic lol.
