Health Factor
McDonalds Chicken Selects are Premium chicken breast strips offered by this fast food restaurant. The word “Premium” might sound good to some people. It is important to remember that “premium” does not always mean good, or healthy. If you are looking for healthy food, McDonald’s is not the best place to go. Most people should already know that and take this fast food restaurant for what it is and no more.
McDonalds Chicken Selects has lots of calories and sodium. If you eat lots of frozen foods or other items that have nearly 300 or more calories, McDonalds Chicken Selects may not be a big deal. I would be more concerned with the sodium level. It is three times the calories in McDonalds Chicken Selects. I only had a 3-piece order from this fast food restaurant. One can only imagine how many calories and sodium is in the 5-piece option.
Quality
McDonalds Chicken Selects are large in size. This is an enjoyable aspect of the fast food item, considering how much it costs for three pieces. I have picked up McDonalds Chicken Selects for lunch a few times and did not need additional food. You can get an entire meal with one drink and some French fries. No matter what your side items are if any, McDonalds Chicken Selects will satisfy your appetite. Moisture is one improvement that would make this fast food product better. McDonalds Chicken Selects are usually dry no matter when they are purchased. That is not enjoyable and can be aggravating if you do not have something to drink nearby.
Price
McDonalds Chicken Selects cost $3.99 without a meal. That is the price for a 3-piece package of premium chicken breast strips. A 3-piece McDonalds Chicken Selects meal or 5-piece package costs a few dollars more. I have always thought that it is a steep price for three chicken strips. I do not care if they are “premium” or not. The fancy wording does not make it more likely for me to purchase McDonalds Chicken Selects. Therefore, pricing is not one of the best aspects of this fast food product.
Taste Test
McDonalds Chicken Selects tastes good, if you like this particular fast food restaurant. It is easy to decipher a McDonald’s recipe from other fast food chains. The taste of McDonalds Chicken Selects may be disliked or enjoyed depending on your preference. I am neutral when it comes to these premium chicken strips. There are some food products available that taste much better than McDonalds Chicken Selects. At the same time, there are also other brands that taste worse. When it comes to McDonalds Chicken Selects, I could take them or leave them.
Verdict
McDonalds Chicken Selects are loaded with sodium, making them an unhealthy choice. If you have a serious health condition that should be well maintained like high blood pressure, this fast food item is not the best choice. McDonalds Chicken Selects tastes good, and even better when used with one of the restaurant’s dipping sauces. However, they are dry and demand accompanying drinks. If you are busy and want a quick lunch, McDonalds Chicken Selects will definitely provide good sized portions.
