All three sandwiches made an equally uninspiring first impression.
The OG Crispy Chicken Parmesan looked very beige with no visible tomato sauce.
The golden-brown crispy chicken did look good, though, and it was layered with white cheese between two brioche buns.
The crunchy breaded chicken was the highlight, if a little bit too salty. The sweet bun was a little off-putting, but overall the elements all worked well together to deliver a satisfying Parm-like bite. The tomato sauce, however, was barely there.
The Grilled Chicken Parmesan looked like a grilled chicken sandwich topped with tomato sauce and lots of cheese, because that's what it was.
...And rightfully so, as it turns out. The weakest of the trio, the Grilled Chicken Parm was decidedly not intriguing. The rubbery texture of the salty grilled chicken clashed loudly with the heavy cheese, sweet bun, and tomato sauce. There's a reason chicken usually goes with cream.
We were most excited about the Spicy Crispy Chicken Parmesan because food is almost always better spicy.
Out of the three, it looked the most appetizing, with a beautiful red-brown hue.
However, spice just doesn't belong in the blend of flavors that make up a Chicken Parm. It just ended up distracting from an otherwise harmonious blend of crunchy, fluffy, and salty.
We all agreed that the original Crispy Chicken Parmesan was by far the best. The Spicy Crispy Chicken Parmesan came in second at a respectable distance, while the Grilled Chicken Parmesan lagged far behind both. While the BK Chicken Parmesan Sandwich doesn't come close to Little Italy, we can agree with our fellow taste-testers in Burger King's video: It's not bad — eh, it's pretty good.
