If you’re a frequent visitor of Jack in the Box, you’ve probably seen the Cluck Sandwich on the menu. But what’s on the sandwich and is it worth trying?
Read on to learn what goes in the sandwich and how it compares to other chicken sandwiches at Jack in the Box.
Cluck Sandwich Overview
The Cluck Sandwich from Jack in the Box features an all-white meat chicken filet. It also comes with pickles and some of Jack’s Good Good Sauce. Everything comes on a brioche bun, so it’s pretty easy to eat.
If you don’t quite like that combination, you can add or remove toppings. Take off the pickles and sauce if you want a plain chicken sandwich.
Alternatively, you can add a variety of toppings, such as cheese and other condiments. Bacon and jalapeños are also available.
When you’re hungry for more than just the sandwich, you can order a combo. Customize your sandwich, and add fries and a drink. You can even get a small, medium, or large combo.
Other Jack in the Box Chicken Sandwiches
The Jack in the Box Cluck Sandwich is great. However, it’s not the only option for chicken sandwich lovers.
If you go to Jack in the Box often, you should try the other chicken sandwiches they sell. Then, you can decide if the Cluck Sandwich is your favorite or if you prefer something else.
Here’s what you need to know about the Cluck Sandwich’s biggest competition.
Jack’s Spicy Chicken
First, there’s the Jack’s Spicy Chicken sandwich. This one uses a spicy crispy chicken filet that’s entirely white meat. Standard toppings include lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, and you’ll get it all on a bakery bun.
Like the Cluck Sandwich, this one is customizable. You can remove any of the standard toppings that you don’t want. Choose from different cheeses and condiments to add to the sandwich to make it unique.
Add jalapeños, pickles, and bacon as well. You can even add extras of the standard toppings, such as more lettuce. If you know you want cheese, you can make it easier on yourself by ordering the Jack’s Spicy Chicken w/ Cheese, which comes standard with Swiss cheese.
Homestyle Ranch Chicken Club
The Homestyle Ranch Chicken Club isn’t technically a club. However, it’s another option you can consider from Jack in the Box. It features the same chicken filet as the other sandwiches, and you’ll get all of the toppings on a brioche bun.
Standard toppings include lettuce, tomato, bacon, Swiss cheese, and ranch sauce. Of course, you can take any of those away or add extra of one or more items. You can also add other toppings, like American cheese, sliced onions, and mustard.
This sandwich is very similar to the Cluck Sandwich, so it’s worth comparing the two. Just don’t order it expecting a traditional club sandwich.
Grilled Chicken Sandwich
The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is yet another choice, and it’s a good one if you’re trying to eat healthily but still want to treat yourself. Instead of the crispy chicken filet, it uses a grilled chicken filet, as the name suggests.
Other toppings include lettuce, tomato, buttery sauce, and Good Good Sauce. All of those toppings come on two toasted pieces of sourdough bread. Of course, you can customize it to your liking and remove any toppings you want.
Jack in the Box also lets you add other toppings, such as grilled onions and cheese. That way, you can get the exact taste you want from this sandwich.
Chicken Sandwich
Jack in the Box also sells what it calls the Chicken Sandwich. Unlike the other sandwiches, this one uses a breaded chicken patty instead of a chicken filet. It comes standard with mayonnaise and lettuce on a regular bun.
You can take away any of the toppings to make the sandwich more plain. That’s nice if you or someone you know is quite picky.
If you’re more adventurous, you can add other toppings. Jack in the Box lets you get tomato, pickles, condiments, and cheeses on this sandwich. If you’re looking for a Cluck Sandwich but with a chicken patty, you can add pickles and sauce.
Chicken Fajita Pita
Another more unique option is the Chicken Fajita Pita. This sandwich combines grilled chicken strips, shredded cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions in pita bread. The sandwich is a bit healthier than some of the others on the menu.
Of course, like the other sandwiches, you can customize this one. You can take away some of the standard toppings or add other things, like mayonnaise or sauce. If you order at the restaurant, you may be able to add more toppings than when you order online.
This pita is low in calories, so it’s a good alternative for a healthy diet. You can still order something out to eat without worrying as much about the nutrition.
How to Recreate the Cluck Sandwich
Maybe you can’t get to Jack in the Box, or your nearest location ran out of the ingredients to make the sandwich. Luckily, you can recreate it at home. The nice thing about this option is you can easily make the sandwich vegetarian by getting a vegetarian filet instead of chicken.
Of course, you’ll need a chicken filet, some pickles, and a brioche bun. You can look for a buttermilk sauce to replace the Good Good Sauce, but it probably won’t be exact.
Once you have everything, cook the chicken if necessary. Then, you can add all of the toppings that you want to your sandwich.
