[@KrestenGiese]

@@OGMaverick In most cases I'd agree, but in this case, the chicken is so thick and fried that it would outweigh the buns. I'd say that 2 burger buns (top and bottom) will total to around ~200 cals on average. This piece of chicken though? 300+ at least.

[@gloriouslumi]

The thing about Crispy vs Chewy bacon is this: If it is going on a sandwich then it needs to be crispy enough to bite through without issue. Nobody likes whole strips of bacon sliding out of their sandwich or burger every time they take a bite. I like chewy bacon. I don't like chewy bacon that slides out of my sandwich.

[@kevinhewitt1428]

Agreed but you can always cut it into smaller pieces.

[@Yousuck00]

I like the smaller/thinner end to be crispy & the other end with all the fat on it to be chewy. That way you get the best of both worlds in one single slice.

[@gloriouslumi]

@@kevinhewitt1428 I wouldn't put chopped bacon on a sandwich any more than I would put chopped tomato or chopped lettuce for the same reason: it falls out. You have a 360 degree direction of escape. There are times when that is acceptable, like in tacos or on a baked potato, when you accept that stuff is going to spill, but not on my sandwich.
