Pretty late to the game, considering how quite a number of people have made the mad rush to ever since its return as a permanent item on their menu, but better late than never?

As far as how the Chicken McCrispy was an item that is well-missed by most during its absence and sporadic comebacks as a limited-time only item, the Chicken McCrispy is something that I can’t really resonate to — it belonged to an era for me where my parents dictated what I should be eating, and pretty much also a time where I hadn’t formed a basis of wanting to try something new (have always been that weird McChicken sandwich kid), so I haven’t actually had a taste of it until now.

Ordering the 2pcs Chicken McCrispy Treat is an “upgrade” over the Chicken McCrispy (2 pcs) Extra Value Meal — it comes with the Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie which I hadn’t tried either. It would be really unfair to bear expectations that the McCrispy would be anything else but fast food — but given the fast food item it is, its a pretty decent item that I would probably ditch my McChicken for. The outlet that I went to did it justice; it’s crisp enough, while the meat was actually still juicy and tender — nothing overly oily and came with a slightly less than moderate level of spiciness that kept things going. Sure, the chicken pieces aren’t quite as big as what some other fast food giants serve up, but the Chicken McCrispy does hold itself pretty well against certain joints where consistency may be a big concern. Some have quipped about the lack of the sweet chili sauce that used to come with the Chicken McCrispy previously; but since I had no connected memories with the item, I guess I am pretty fine with what I had.

If you are wanting to hear about the Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie, its probably a one-off for me. The cream cheese is fairly familiar — the same one used in the Yuzu Cream Cheese Pie some time back; it’s execution is really similar being a half-on-half of each filling inside as well. The blueberry jam bears a similar consistency as the breakfast grape jam; almost jello-like, and whilst it’s sweet and slightly tart, it just felt a little unnatural to say the least.
