I just couldn’t wait to try this Carl’s Jr. Hot Honey Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich. I’m a big fan of honey and as I saw this is Hot Honey I was kind of curious how its exactly going to taste like? Anyway, it wasn’t really that bad in the taste wise, coming from Hot Honey. Let me put it this way it was okay, but it’s not something I’ll get again.

Is Hot Honey really Spicy? 

This kind of seems frustrating because honey is sweet, so how can something sweet be spicy? Seems like it just doesn’t make sense to me having something sweet to actually be hot & sweet. However, as I was eating I could say the hot is not really there. When biting into the sandwich, there is no heat flavor coming, it’s only the sweet flavor. So, that said, now it makes sense that sweet & hot just to combine very well together.

Hot Honey with the Crisscut Fries 

Okay, so I got Hot Honey on the side which is the same Hot Honey that goes inside the burger. So, eating the hot honey as a dip with the Crisscut Fries I’m actually getting a bit heat coming from the hot honey. It’s not a strong heat, but some pepper heat kind of taste does come from the hot honey.

All Together 

To summarize this in short, I’m getting tiny bit of heat when eating with the Crisscut Fries. However, when the hot honey is inside the burger, there is no heat flavor I’m getting.

I also wanted to mention that when you check out this sandwich on the coupons, you can see the honey on the burger. But, in real life the honey gets melted and sucked inside the sandwich. In realistic form, you don’t get to see the sandwich the way it looks in TV or Coupons. That’s kind of obvious, honey is going to get sucked in, so I just wanted to mention that.

Taste wise, its just basic sandwich to me, except extremely on the sweet side. It is so sweet I was thinking that this can be some what a dessert and food at the same time. I was kind of thinking of bacon donut during the time I was eating. Too sweet, with no spice is the taste I got.

come with: 

  • Potato Bun
  • Hand-Breaded Chicken
  • Applewood Smoked Bacon
  • Swiss Cheese
  • Hot Honey

Overall, I think its a cool sandwich to try as its got honey inside. For me, this was way too sweet and not really the type of food I would want again. I would aim at something with tomatoes & more ingredients inside rather than meat and sweetness. If I want something sweet, I would get dessert as I usually do.

I got this in the Adult Swim promo that’s currently going on. Which is, for a dollar more you can upgrade any combo Adult Swim style & you get a toy and a cool cup. They gave me the toy, but they said they had no more cups left, which It’s okay. I also added more toys on the side because I just love this types of promos that take effect.
