The chicken fingers I tried were from Raising Cane's.
I usually like the chain's food, but it was disappointing.
I liked Zaxby's chicken fingers and sauce the most.
I think chicken fingers are the perfect lunchtime snack. If you have time to take a meal break, they're fun to eat by themselves.
I tried to find the best fast-food chicken fingers in San Antonio by comparing meals from three chains.
I tried each restaurant's signature sauce to see which one had the most flavor.
Zaxby's is a Georgia based fast casual restaurant that serves chicken and sandwiches.
Zaxby's has over 900 locations in the US, but it's mostly located in the Southeast.
The five-piece chicken "fingerz" cost $4.99 plus tax. The meal included crinkle-cut fries, toast, and a container of Zax sauce.
Zaxby's chicken fingers were moist and tender on the inside.
The batter had a strong flavor and the meat was large.
The Zax sauce that came with my meal was absolutely delicious.
If I wanted more sauce, it would've cost me more.
There are some Zax sauce recipes that call for a mixture of condiments. It's likely that the sauce is what accounts for that finish.
I'm not interested in what's in it. I put my fries in the sauce.
I visited a Georgia-based chain called Chick-Fil-A.
With over 2,800 locations across 49 states, Chick-Fil-A is the most widespread chain out of all of the others.
I ordered a four piece portion of chick-n-strips with waffle fries and a drink for $7.35. I ate my lunch at home, after ordering it at the drive-through.
The original chicken sandwich from Chick- fil-A has always been a weakness for me. I almost always have a good experience with the chain's food.
The chicken strips were wet. I think fried chicken needs a crunch.
I didn't think I had enough fries. I don't think it was bad, but it wasn't as good as what I've come to expect from them. The location might have been having an off day.
I think it's a good idea to call the fingers just okay.
The best part about my meal was the sauce, which is a mixture of barbeque sauce, ranch, and honey mustard.
I think it saved my lunch from being below average because it had the right balance of sweet and spicy.
My order came with four containers of the dip, which is generous by the way. I haven't been charged an extra fee when I've asked for more cups before.
I've never been to Raising Cane's, even though it's 3 miles from my house.
The Louisiana-based fast food chain has over 600 locations in the US.
The box combo came with four chicken fingers, fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, and a drink for $8.69. Extra fries were requested since I don't like coleslaw.
My daughter, who lives in Florida, asked me to pick up some Cane's sauce for her, which gave me a lot of hope for my meal here. The sauce has to travel across state lines.
I was not disappointed in Raising Cane's chicken fingers, but I would have liked more flavor.
They hit the spot but didn't have a great taste. I didn't think the breading tasted as good as it looked.
I didn't think my meal was bad, I just didn't think it was anything special.
A container of Cane's sauce is included in the box combo.
Raising Cane's sauce is made with a proprietary blend of spices that are fresh in the restaurant every day. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same spices as Zax sauce.
The sauce kept the meal interesting, but it was not up to my expectations.
Chicken fingers would check the box for a comforting meal.
I thought Raising Cane's sauces were what saved the meal from being so-so. Since my experience with its food is usually more positive, I will give it the benefit of the doubt and call it off.
I give the highest marks to Zaxby's because of its flavor.
I'm a sauce girl, but it didn't fall apart. Zaxby's breading was better than the others.
