I always look for something crispy, juicy, and full of flavor when craving a chicken sandwich. The Whataburger Whatachickn Sandwich gives me exactly that — a perfectly breaded chicken filet on a soft brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, and creamy WhataSauce®. It’s the kind of sandwich that hits the spot whether I’m eating in or taking it to-go.
I like how this sandwich combines crunch and smoothness in one bite. It’s simple but full of rich flavor, and I can customize it to match my mood — with cheese, bacon, or even jalapeños. For anyone who loves a hearty chicken sandwich, this one stands out on Whataburger’s menu.
