When visiting Jack in the Box, there are many menu items to consider. If you’re a fan of chicken, you should try the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Read on to learn more about it.
Spicy chicken sandwich options
Jack in the Box serves two types of spicy chicken sandwiches. First there’s the standard version, which comes on a bakery bun with chicken fillet, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.
The Jack’s Spicy Chicken w/ Cheese is almost identical except it also includes a slice of Swiss cheese. Oddly enough, you can add the same cheese to the regular spicy chicken sandwich for about $0.50, depending on the location.
If you know you want Swiss-style cheese, the sandwich with cheese is only about an extra $0.30, so save money when you order it.
No matter which sandwich you order, you can make further adjustments. For example, ask about other types of cheese such as real Swiss or American cheese. You can also add pickles, chopped onions, ketchup, and other toppings.
Jack-in-the-box combos
Like many other menu items at Jack in the Box, you can either get a Spicy Chicken Sandwich on its own or as part of a combo. The combo comes with fries and a drink by default, but you can resize it to small, medium, or large.
Other side dishes include curly fries, onion rings and egg rolls. Stuffed jalapeños and hash browns are also available. Jack in the Box serves Coca-Cola products, as well as shakes and coffee for drinks.
Ask your specific Jack in the Box location about available drinks and side dishes. Stock may vary, especially if you like late dinners.
How it compares to other chicken options
Before you place your order at Jack in the Box, consider all menu items that have chicken in them. Then you can be sure that the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the best choice for you.
Most of the following items are single items or part of bundles. Side dishes and drinks are the same, but the main course and available toppings vary.
Gluck sandwich
The Cluck Sandwich starts with a crispy chicken fillet and comes with pickles and Jack in the Box’s famous Good Good Sauce. Instead of a baker’s bun, the restaurant toasts a brioche bun for this sandwich.
You can add Swiss cheese, American cheese, and real Swiss cheese. Other topping options include ketchup, mustard, and jalapeños. More options may be available when you order at the restaurant.
Homestyle ranch chicken club
Despite the name, Homestyle Ranch Chicken Club isn’t a club sandwich. However, it is very similar to Spicy Chicken Sandwiches. The lettuce and tomato toppings are the same as the Swiss-style cheese.
This sandwich uses a regular chicken fillet rather than a spicy one. It also comes with Buttermilk Ranch on a brioche bun instead of a bakery bun. If you’re craving a milder version of the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, this is a great choice.
Grilled chicken sandwich
Most chicken sandwiches at Jack in the Box use fried chicken. However, the Grilled Chicken Sandwich is an excellent, healthy alternative. It uses a grilled chicken fillet on sourdough bread.
Standard toppings include lettuce, tomato, good good sauce, and butter sauce. You can add things like cheese and spices to customize your sandwich. If you don’t like a topping, you can also remove it from your order.
chicken sandwich
If you don’t like any of the other options, you should try the chicken sandwich. It uses a patty instead of a fillet and is served with lettuce, mayonnaise, and butter sauce on a regular bun. Of course you can add toppings like cheese and other condiments.
Unfortunately, this is the only chicken option that doesn’t come in a combo. You must order a drink or side dish separately. But this sandwich can be a great choice for picky eaters or anyone looking for something simple.
Chicken Fajita Pita
If you are looking for a different type of sandwich, try the Chicken Fajita Pita. This item comes with grilled chicken, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Of course it comes on a piece of flatbread.
You can add mayonnaise, ranch, or sriracha if you want more flavor. The standard side of this sandwich is an order of fries, but you can swap them out for something else if you prefer.
Crispy chicken strips
Maybe you’re not craving a sandwich. The crispy chicken strips are an excellent option to order on your next jack-in-the-box trip. You can get them in a sequence of four or six, and you can get them with or without a combo.
chicken nuggets
The chicken nuggets are another alternative to a chicken sandwich. You can choose between five or ten nuggets. These pieces are smaller than the tenders, so they’re nice when you don’t want to bite off a larger piece of chicken.
Chicken Teriyaki Bowl
Jack in the Box offers more than just American cuisine. While not authentic Asian food, the chain does stock a chicken teriyaki bowl. It comes standard with chicken, teriyaki sauce, veggies, and rice.
You can add extras from all of these things except the rice. And you can also remove one or more of the items if you want. The combo comes standard with an egg roll, but you can swap it out for fries or even mini pancakes.
