Crack Chicken Salad? Believe the Hype – My Experience with MGM Smoked Chicken Crack Food Truck

I’d seen the MGM Smoked Chicken Crack Food Truck pop up on my social media feed more times than I could count. At first, I was skeptical. A food truck that only sells chicken salad? That’s a bold move. I’ve had chicken salad from plenty of places, and let’s just say—dry, thick chunks of chicken and regretful purchases have made me cautious.

But what instantly set Brian and his wife’s truck apart was their generous offer of samples. That’s rare. Most places expect you to commit your money without knowing what you’re getting. So when I was offered a taste before buying, that was an automatic win in my book.

And let me tell you—the chicken salad is delicious. I’ve now visited the truck three times, and each time it’s been consistently good. I’ve decided to take a break for a bit, not because I didn’t enjoy it, but because it’s dangerously addictive—especially paired with Wheat Thin crackers.

What I love most is the texture. Everything is finely chopped, making it easy to scoop and enjoy. I’ve tried both versions—with and without jalapeños—and while I’m a spice lover, I appreciated that the jalapeños added flavor without overwhelming heat. You can smell the peppers, taste the peppers, but it’s not spicy—it’s just right. And the smoked chicken flavor comes through in every bite.

If I had to rank it, I’d put this chicken salad up against anyone’s. It’s that good. And the pricing? $6 for a small, $12 for a large—very fair considering the quality and flavor.

So if you’ve been hesitant like I was, don’t be. MGM Smoked Chicken Crack Food Truck is worth the stop. Just be warned: once you try it, you might find yourself coming back again and again.
