After the hype that Andok’s started with their litson baka, a new item emerges. The “Dokito Burger” is a chicken burger that has gone viral for two good reasons: affordable and delicious. Naturally, we’re curious about what the fuzz is all about.
Here’s our juicy take on Andok’s Spicy Dokito and Dokito burger:
Pleasant Surprise: Decent buns!
Honestly, buns are a crucial item of what makes or breaks a sandwich or burger. If it’s too thick, too dry, or too crumbly, it makes the overall experience less satisfying. Dare we say, a bad bun can’t salvage a tasty dressing or a flavorful beef patty, or in this case, chicken fillet.
And for what is only P70, the Dokito chicken burgers have a fairly decent bun. We expected it to be on a Level 7 Dryness rating (with Level 10 being as dry as a sponge in a desert), but we were pleasantly surprised it’s on Level 5, both for the regular and spicy as they both use the same buns, and it’s not crumbly at all.
The chicken fillets are more than just big.
If you raised your eyebrows at its affordable price and questioned if it’s actual chicken, don’t worry: it’s actual chicken. It’s not some mushed-up chicken meat mixed with other ingredients, and it’s not “puro breading.”
The chicken fillets used for both sandwiches are bigger than the buns. While that’s a common chicken-bun proportion— be it in fast food chains or restaurants—what Andok’s does best is keeping it crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
The Dokito vs. Spicy Dokito
What sets the regular Dokito from the Spicy Dokito is the flavor. The Dokito has a mustard dressing that’s more sweet than spicy while the Spicy Dokito uses a spicy chicken fillet and is complimented with a garlicky dressing. (Think of Andok’s spicy fried chicken in burger patty form!)
Both are good and both are packed with flavor. If it’s your first time and you’re in a pickle, just choose both to determine which one is more your style.
Are my expectations too high for a 70-peso sandwich?
Not all chicken sandwiches are made equally; some may have brioche buns, Angus patty, horseradish dressing, caramelized onions, blue cheese, and onion rings, which adds to the overall satisfaction. Even if Andok’s has none of the aforementioned, even lettuce or tomatoes, it still deserves the positive hype it’s getting.
It’s not restaurant-quality, but it’s a 70-peso chicken sandwich that can pass off for twice its price. (But don’t tell Andok’s that as it might give them an idea to increase the price. *wink wink* )
Andok’s Dokito and Spicy Dokito burgers are available in select branches only. You can check GrabFood or foodpanda to see which is the nearest branch to your home or office that offers it.
