Earl Eats McDonald's® Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Strips - A Review

For  some time now McDonald's has been touting their newest chicken addition - Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Tenders. This is not a comparative review, although I will make a few in the CONCLUSION section at the end. I normally would start off talking about the service, but this is McDonald's and they have worked hard to be the same from McDonald's to McDonald's, so nothing to report here, except to say that to my surprise, they took a long time to get my order out, which is a good thing! It meant my food was freshly cooked, which is especially important for crispy chicken.

I ordered a 4 piece to-go from inside the restaurant to watch the process a bit, and to see how really hot they would be, once delivered and taken to my car, where I ate them. I had determined ahead of time that I would not eat them with their dipping sauces, because I wanted the flavors of the chicken to stand on their own. How did they fare?
—They were VERY hot when I got them and remained so even on a rather long trek to my car.
—They were CRISPY as advertised. This is from their seasoned coating which I thought was unremarkable in flavor.
—The meat was not DRY nor was it MOIST. It was about what I have come to expect from McDonald's chicken.

RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS
This is better than their previous chicken strips! It was not the best fast food chicken strip available. For that, Chick-Fil-A is a clear winner but I don't go to burger-centric  restaurants for chicken. If you want fast food chicken, and don't have a Chick-Fil-A nearby, this will work okay, and is better than nuggets any day!
