Review: Jack in the Box - Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks

Jack in the Box's Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks feature breaded and fried sticks of mozzarella cheese covered with a sweet and spicy Nashville Hot seasoning.

It cost me $3.50 for four.

The Mozzarella Sticks turned out well. The breading was crispy and not overly oily (notwithstanding the layer of oil and spices of the Nashville Hot seasoning). There was a good amount of cheese inside, and it was melted enough for a decent cheese pull.

As with the Nashville Hot Popcorn Chicken, the Nashville Hot seasoning was good for a sweet, spicy, and savory combination. However, where the Popcorn Chicken had a fairly neutral flavor, the breading of Mozzarella Sticks includes Italian herbs that didn't mesh all too well with the Nashville Hot seasoning. The Nashville Hot-flavored mozzarella wasn't all that great either.

When it comes down to it, Jack in the Box's Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks didn't work for me. The Mozzarella Sticks and the added seasoning were great on their own, but were not better together.
