Wendy's Jalapeño Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich - NOT Recommended

Jalapeño Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich 

We're big fans of Wendy's and of spicy foods, so when we pulled up to see the Jalapeño Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich advertised, buying a pair of value meals was a no-brainer. When done right, there's nothing better than a spicy sandwich. 

Unfortunately, these - like so many hot fast food meals - are all heat and no taste. They're also a complete mess! 

At 590 calories, it's clear a lot is put into this spicy Wendy's chicken sandwich. They boast five layers of heat: spicy chicken fillet, fresh jalapeños, ghost pepper sauce, Colby pepper jack cheese, and a red jalapeno bun. Unfortunately, once you get that ghost pepper sauce in your mouth, all you can do is feel the burn.

It didn't stop after we stopped eating either. We both had terrible stomach aches overnight. I wont go into further details on that front ... just know, this burger isn't for the faint of heart, or for anyone who actually likes the taste of jalapeños. 

About halfway through eating the sandwich, I scraped off most of the cheese sauce. The remaining ingredients tasted so much better without it, but it's still not a meal I'd order twice.
