by Kassidy Hart–<\/strong>As a college student, fast-food is my savior when it comes to a full class and work schedule, especially on those days that are scheduled up to the millisecond. Sometimes I don\u2019t have time to pack a lunch or even think about my food for the day, and this week was one of those weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way to campus from my early practicum Tuesday morning, I decided I wanted to stop at McDonald\u2019s and grab a McChicken to gobble down before I took on the rest of my day. I drove up to the menu only to find out that it was still breakfast and a McChicken was not an option! I started frantically looking around the menu for something cheap, as I anticipated using the few dollar bills I had in my purse to cover my morning snack, and decided to just try to get a McChicken, regardless of it being absent from the menu. The cashier asked me how I wanted it, as a biscuit or as a McGriddle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I\u2019m not a huge McDonald\u2019s breakfast person, mainly because I can never wake up in time for it, so it\u2019s not an easily accessible craving. But, when I do have it once in a blue moon, I don\u2019t hesitate to get a McGriddle. The pancake breading is the best part, as biscuits are too dry for a breakfast sandwich.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I immediately answered with \u201cOh, I\u2019ll take the McGriddle!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life. Changing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gobbled that thing down in 5 minutes and it filled me up to the point I wasn\u2019t hungry for another six hours. I didn\u2019t order a drink, as I had my coffee still filled to the brim from that morning, but I didn\u2019t find myself needing a drink either. The sandwich didn\u2019t dry my mouth out. It also didn\u2019t have the globs of mayo and scraggly lettuce that McChickens are known for. And it was only $1.70!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t quite sure if it truly was good or my tired mind was playing tricks on me, so to make sure, I stopped and got another one this morning to check. All I have to say is, I will definitely be forcing my boyfriend to wake up early enough within the next week or two to take part in the buy one, get one for $1 deal! This time, though, I might try pairing it with a sweet tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a calorie counter, I do warn you that the sandwich alone is 370 calories. But, compared to Chick-fil-a\u2019s popular chicken breakfast biscuit that is 450 calories, it\u2019s lower in calories and doesn\u2019t cost you a pretty penny, just six quarters and two dimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, I give McDonald\u2019s breakfast Chicken McGriddle a 5\/5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
