Its been a while since I last posted a review of a microwave meal and since Nats in Lebanon I figured this would be a good time to start again. Tonight for dinner I had the Chicken Fingers meal by Banquet and I really liked it.
I was at Sultan Center checking out the frozen foods section when I spotted this meal. What grabbed my attention was the fact it came with a fudge brownie! I thought that was fucking cool since I never tried a microwave meal that came with cake before. I grabbed two packs plus two packs of the Fried Chicken Meal and headed towards the cashier.
Cooking the Chicken Fingers was very easy, pop it into the microwave for two and a half minutes and its done. While cooking my kitchen started smelling of brownies.. which is a good thing of course since I love the smell of freshly baked brownies. When it was done cooking I took it out of the microwave and grabbed a coke and headed to the living room.
It fucking rocked. Keep in mind I am comparing it to other microwave meals and not some fancy gourmet dinner. The chicken fingers tasted pretty good and the fries wasn’t bad either but the biggest surprise was the brownie, it was eatable! I was having doubts about trying it once I was done cooking it because it just looked.. weird. But, I took the first bite and then had another after another. Its not the best brownie in the world but it tasted pretty good for something that came with a microwave meal.
Now the biggest problem I have with this meal is the portion, its tiny. Three chicken fingers and a spoonful of fries isn’t very filling. But I guess thats why its cheap, the meal costs only 850 fils which is a bargain compared to some other microwave meals. So, for the final score I will have to give it a 3.5 out of 5. If the portion was just a bit bigger it could have easily gotten four stars. Be sure to check out my other reviews in the review section.

I think its unfair to give it 3.5 stars becoz of the portion. since it wasn’t directed at grown ups. its very obvious that this meal was to be eaten by children, I though the brownie gave it away.. but I guess not. so the portion is more than enough for a child.
its not just for kids, if it was it would be directed towards them like this burger

why would you go for chicken fingers? there are yummier-looking tv dinners you know
ugh i hate passing by the fridges at sultan.. i cant walk away from them without stocking up on the goodies.. those boxes just look so delicious 🙁
bye bye waist, hello saggy boobs :((
brownie? hmm I thought this one of those posts where u find a cockroach in the meal, but in this case, the brownie was replaced by shit.
I guess mark you should learn to cook. It doesn’t take too long .Perhaps an hour or two is sufficient for 3-4 days food. If u need to know how to cook ,i can guide you along.
I like reading your reviews, Mark. Thanks.
How can you call placing the food in the microwave and pushing a button “Cocking”?, We missed the Good Old Days when moms used to cook for 3 hours straight 🙁
extinct-dodo what do you recommend? I have tried a couple of other ones but I found the Banquet brand to be my favorite so far.
Calrsberg, thats why I hesitated to try it lol
Moe: I was too lazy to pick up turkey and toast from Sultan so you can imagine how lazy I am to cook. I wouldnt even spread nutella on toast cuz i am too lazy.
cece: anytime
loo7a i think i should have used heating up instead of cooking
I don’t know about you, but that brownie looks seriously sick 🙂
I would just order a pizza.
I think you should take cooking Lessons! lol!
On the bright side ,with portions like that you would not need to diet.
Anything tastes good when you’re hungry and on your own.
Since we are on the topic of microwaveable edibles – would like to recommend the POP-WEAVER microwaveable popcorn (esp. the Garlic & Herb flavour). Nothing goes so well with a cool TV series than this cholestrol-free snack. And the portion is quite satisfying.
Blastobutter popcorn for me
