Whata-wing!
Texas burger chain Whataburger doubles down on chicken with new 'wings'
Whataburger wings & fries.
A rumor that has been circulating about Whataburger is true: They've added "wings."
Texas' favorite burger chain is kicking off 2024 with the release of their new boneless WhataWings, consisting of nine white-meat chicken bites, available in an array of four sauces.
So technically, they should call these "tenders" but "WhataTenders" doesn't sound quite as catchy as "WhataWings."
The starting lineup includes:
- Honey Butter
- Buffalo
- Honey BBQ
- Sweet & Spicy sauce
In a release, Whataburger Chief Administrative Officer Alexander Ivannikov implies that it's as much about the sauces as it is the chicken.
“Our customers have a passion for Whataburger’s proprietary sauces," Ivannikov says. "So, we’re excited to spread our wings around that enthusiasm by pairing favorites like Honey Butter and Sweet & Spicy with our premium chicken tender bites."
According to the release, the boneless WhataWings "are here for a good time, not a long time" — meaning they're a limited-edition item. While pricing and availability vary by market, the ballpark price for the wings is $9.50 a la carte or $12.50 for a combo.
The "wings" are another expansion into chicken, on the heels of Whataburger's 2020 debut of their spicy chicken sandwich, still on their menu to this very day.
