Forget Wendy's 'best breakfast sandwich of all time' — this version is way better

Hollis Johnson

The Wendy's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit sandwich was recently called the best breakfast sandwich in America, a distinction we disagreed with.

After we tried it, a reader clued us in to this sandwich's Texan parallel: Whataburger's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. 

It's a simple crispy chicken breast topped with sweet honey butter and wedged between two biscuits.

It's the exact same idea, and it predates Wendy's offering by several years. So, perhaps Whataburger's original is better? I decided to try it to find out.

 

I snagged the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit from the local Whataburger drive–through. At $2.34, it's dirt cheap – cheaper than Wendy's iteration even.

It comes wrapped in the usual waxy paper, which keeps it nice and hot.

Upon unwrapping, I immediately see a big difference from Wendy's version. Here, the honey butter drips off the sides — it looks more like actual honey than butter, and there's a lot of it.
