REVIEW- Lay's Chicken and Waffles Potato Chips


Recommended Posts

Well, with all these Neowin nerd reviews here for hardware and software, why not give a review on the snacks that keep us going..

 

I picked these up today while at the local Valero gas station, getting some snacks for my pending all night editing session, was just going to get my standard Honey BBQ chips, but decided that Im a glutton for punishment, and if I dont like them, I lost $1.50.

 

At first taste, you dont even taste the potato, you are immedately hit with a Maple syrup flavored Eggo waffle, and as you continue chewing, you get a slight hint of Fired Chicken, not like KFC or Popeye's, but more like the frozen Tyson kind you find in a Swansons TV Dinner.

 

Finally as you swallow, you finally taste the potato in the chip.

 

I am sold on them however, and hope this isn't a limited time promotion, I will try the "Cheesy Garlic Bread" next, but I am not touching the Saracha flavored chips, as I hate saracha sauce....

 

Availability = Any Major Grocery Store

Price = $1.49USD for the small bag $3.49 for the big bag

Ease of use = Open bag, remove chip, insert in mouth

Not compatibile with diabetics or people with high sodium levels.

Being from the South, that flavor is one of our foods anyways, so we have had them for a while.  They are in most of our snack machines now. Personally they are decent, but not the best. I like the Cheesy Garlic Bread better. 

Those have been around for quite a while in my area. I think they taste absolutely atrocious and the idea of having actual chicken and waffles was not only odd but didn't sound good to me. It's like the difference of having steak and fudge sunday together instead of a baked potato but that's me. I didn't grow up eating chicken with a side of waffles, rather we had something like corn, green beans or maybe mashed potatoes with chicken. How about cereal and chicken?

i've tried chicken and waffles, and it was alright, but i'm definately one that likes my salty foods away from my sweet foods.  like my wife loves syrup on bacon or sausage when having pancakes, but to me, BLEEECCH

 

so, the chips don't sound appealing to me

 

now, the garlic cheesy ones, i'll give those a try!

Hello,

 

I actually got a small bag of the Cheesy Garlic Bread ones last month, and wasn't too impressed with them.  The flavor was not exactly what I expected (more of a buttery parmesean) , but was okay.  However, the crisp texture and wafer-like thickness of the chips was more off-putting to me.

As an American, I think my self-depricating humor went right over your head

    • Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
