Whataburger® Turns Up the Heat with New Hot Honey Crisp Whatachick'n® Sandwich

Sweet Heat, Chili Crisp Hot Honey and Creamy Cheddar Flavor Come Together in Whataburger's Newest Summer Sandwich

SAN ANTONIO, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Temperatures aren't the only thing rising this summer. Starting June 2, the new Hot Honey Crisp Whatachick'n® Sandwich brings a bold new flavor experience to the menu for a limited time, blending savory chicken with a drizzle of fiery but sweet sauce that keeps every bite interesting. Built for fans always on the hunt for their next taste adventure, this latest creation delivers a fresh mashup that feels equal parts comfort food and culinary plot twist.

The new Hot Honey Crisp Whatachick'n® Sandwich features a juicy, hand breaded Whatachick'n filet topped with a creamy red pepper cheddar cheese spread, finished with a generous coating of hot honey made with chili crisp. Served on a golden soft potato bun, every layer is thoughtfully crafted for a sandwich that's as elevated as it is indulgent. It's a combination that delivers on all levels – a satisfying crunch, a smooth and luscious cheese, and a hot honey kick that lingers just long enough to make an impression.

The Hot Honey Crisp Whatachick'n® Sandwich will be available for $7.99, or as a meal with fries and a medium drink for $10.99 (prices may vary by location).
