The new spicy chicken is trash
The leaf -> shredded lettuce change wasn't great, but I could live with it. But the new "improved" chicken is absolute garbage. It tastes ok at best, but the weird texture makes eating it almost impossible.
I don't know what bizarre solution they added to it, but it now has a texture like undercooked chicken. It's like biting through a bunch of rubber strands in the worst possible way. The first bite actually made me gag, and as I kept trying to eat it the texture just got more and more unpleasant.
Even now, half an hour later, the horror of it is so sharp in my mind I can (unfortunately) still imagine exactly how it felt and every time I do I want to gag.
What the hell did they do to the chicken? Wendy's used to be the only fast food place with a chicken patty worth eating, but now it's absolutely inedible.
