Hungry-Man says: Beer Battered Chicken Patties and Potato wedges with Cheese Sauce

Nicole says: A Hungry Man likes his chicken like he likes his women - battered.

Oh, wait, no. If you’d like do something about violence against women, please check out www.Vday.org and support the events and services in your community.

On a lighter note, this meal kicked ass. I did have some ketchup with the chicken, since it’s really not right to have chicken nuggets or chicken fingers without sauce. Damn, 111% of my RDA of sodium tastes good.

Before I ate this meal, Abi mentioned that it might be good from the oven. I have mixed feelings about doing oven reviews, though - yes, it would be HEATing, EATing, and REVIEWing, but I feel like the general vibe here is ADHD microwave addiction/cheap, busy professionals at work. So I microwaved it. Hence neither the fries nor the beer battering were crispy at all.

The hearty helping of salty cheesy potato wedges are fabulous, though soft, and I have decided this might be the best meal to have hanging around in the freezer for those Saturday nights when you stay out late but don’t get a chance to go to Ben’s Chili Bowl for a chili dog or to Jumbo Slice for a piece of pizza bigger than your head and greasier than Danny Zuko’s hair.

The chicken is tasty and properly textured for chicken fingers. Yes, it’s reconstituted meat, but they did it right. As mentioned, no crispiness, but good flavor to the batter. 100% perfect when lightly dipped in ketchup. Or catsup. I prefer ketchup. I got one tiny gristly bite. That was not 100% good.

If you are looking for a filling, tasty meal and have no major concern for your weight or your heart (note: your liver is fine - “This meal contains trace amounts of alcohol for flavor. Most burns off in the cooking process”), then look no further. This is a meal that really eats like a meal. Eat your heart out, Campbell’s Chunky Soup. Being satisfied until dinner is worth taking some statins (note: bad for your liver) later down the road, right?

Wow. Why did I post this on Valentine’s day? This has to be one of the least romantic meals in the world. I should have posted something sexy, like Chicken Chile Verde

HER doesn’t need to go all sentimental for February 14th. All appetites are connected. This is a lusty meal. It’s about physical, animal attraction. You WANT the Sodium, but you don’t necessarily want to take it home to meet your mother.

And as far as my lead-in comment goes, perhaps this posting date was perfect. Please visit http://www.vday.org/main.html for information on V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls.

It’s like a train wreck. You don’t want to look at the review of the meal that willingly boasts that it provides you with 111% of your daily sodium and half my day’s worth of calories, but you do because you have to see what it’s about. I love how Hungry Man describes this meal as including “chicken patties.” No, it’s not chicken fingers. Chicken fingers would be too small for Hungry Man. Personally, I think Hungry Man should adopt the beginning of Nicole’s review as its new slogan- “A Hungry Man likes his chicken like he likes his women - battered.” I notice and appreciated that the MAN was crossed off the box. I’m going to start my own frozen meal company where every meal includes chocolate and call it Starving Woman. Take that Hungry Man.

Still my favorite of these meals and the only one I buy on sale (very occasionally as I don’t like to retain all the water these salty meals have you retain).

But damn good for what it is.

I think its cute that the “man” is scored out lol, dam right to!

not only is all hungry man foods fattening,
but i hate how they never come out
as delicious as they look on the box cover.

…but what i hate the most,
is that i continue to eat them.

I cooked this for my BF in the oven, and I stole a bite of his chicken and a fry.

Tip: Use the sauce to cover up nibble holes.

They are very good out of the oven, but a rare treat because of whats in it.

In my humble opinion… any Hungry Man product is a heart attack in a box.
Rose on August 13th, 2007

this sounds delicious. maybe because I love canned cheese wiz, potatos, and don’t mind that there are trace amounts of alcohol on my processed chicken. but it sounds like an amazing meal, to me. that makes me sound like a fat single woman, but I assure you, I am not.
