Oscar Mayer says: Everything you need to create a delicious, hot and melty sandwich in a microwave minute.

Andrew says: I tend to like spicy things, so the idea of a flatbread sandwich with plenty of chicken, cheese and Buffalo sauce is appealing to me.

Thankfully, I can report that Oscar Mayer did a good job with the concept, delivering plenty of chicken bits, a good cheese (Monterey Jack) and a decently hot sauce that also delivers some good Ranch flavor notes.

Devotees of good Buffalo sauce can attest that the spice is much better paired with a Bleu Cheese dressing, but Ranch seems like the safe bet for most corporations making Buffalo-style eats for the general public (see also: Frito Lay’s Doritos). And really it’s not bad at all, it’s just not the most ideal pairing. The sauce in this sandwich is sufficiently tangy/hot with a reassuring orange color. But it’s not hot enough to send grandma running for the faucet if she takes a bite. Good balancing act there.

And as with the rest of the Oscar Mayer Deli Creations sandwiches I’ve had, the ingredients are supplied in a fairly hearty measure. The pile of chicken chunks is formidable enough to fill the flatbread when folded, and the shredded cheese coats everything. And there’s more than enough sauce in the packet. And the chicken, again, shines through with its good flavor and moistness.

All in all, this is a great little sandwich for the lazy among us.

[This sandwich was free from the folks at Oscar Mayer’s PR company. Or maybe Oscar Mayer itself. Really, then just send me an email and then I try to figure out who would be a good candidate for getting a box of you-make-it sandwiches in the mail. -Ed.]

I just had this recently (on sale and $1 off coupon) and thought it was very good. I would NEVER pay full price for it, unless it was an emergency, but at the $1.50 I paid it was good.

Does this one combat the “bread full of mush” that plagues the other OM Deli Creations?
Andrea on May 22nd, 2008

OHHH yes !! I’m eating the chicken bacon ranch one right now for the first time and it’s pretty damn good if I must say !!

Red: Yeah since it’s a flatbread there’s not any mush to speak of. It’s a pretty good performance for a microwaved bread product.

I liked this one too. I don’t know the silver lining on the heating element did much to crisp it; but the sandwich was still tasty!

I wish they had a vegetable filled version with cheese and some sort of sauce and no meat!

I just had one of these and it was pretty much amazing.
