jollibee chicken bbq

To try Jollibee’s newest product, chicken barbecue, made it to the top five of my to do list when I vacationed last month. I heard people are raving about it. Personally, I found it good. But as in “okay lang”. Next time I’m home, I’ll stick with my ever favourite palabok with chicken meal.

Whenever I crave Jollibee, it’s the spaghetti (what they call Filipino spaghetti). I thought that at almost 6 dollars per order, it was way too expensive. BTW, how much was an order of spag in PI.

I didn’t know Jollibee has grilled chicken. Basta, palabok lang ang type ko sa Jollibee.:P loyal ako sa Pollo Loco at Max’.

Tama ka dyan. There was so much hype about it kaya when we wifey and I had it here we were like “Pffft! This is what they’re raving about?”
Ang mahal pa di ba? If you want good chicken bbq, go to Aristocrat.

I still prefer my ever fave– spaghetti and peach mango pie!

the chicken bbq was okay.. found it too sweet though. and for the price, the serving of the chicken was a bit small.

I sooo agree with you! One of my friends just hyped it so much, especially the sauce and I ended up really disappointed when I finally got to try it. Hopping from Rico’s blog. Happy Tuesday!

Havent tried this one yet. Butuan has so many restaurants and fastfood offering barbecued chicken that im sure taste better so I’m not really curious to have a bite of this new jollibee offering. ;)

It was a good chicken alternative from chicken joy. Anyway, you might want to check out Jollibee’s chicken barbecue promo on facebook…

Here’s the link to the game…

I’ve tried it. It’s only as good as an option to Jollibee’s other products if you have no choice but to eat there. It doesn’t taste bad though. The rice sucks. The chicken is just alright.

You’re right. It wasn’t that good merely ‘ok lang’. I still prefer the Chicken Joy.

I agree with Daphne. There’s something really wrong with the rice. I thought I was chewing on styro.
