Whataburger is upping its sandwich game with the debut of its new Buffalo Ranch Chicken Strip Sandwich.
Though it seems like virtually every fast food brand now offers a spicy chicken sandwich, Whataburger's latest chicken offering is a little different. The new dish consists of three crispy, all-white meat Whatachick’n Strips layered with two slices of Monterey Jack cheese, a zesty Buttermilk Ranch sauce, and the brand's one-of-a-kind Buffalo Sauce. The whole thing is served on a five-inch bun.
If you want to go bun-free, you can also try the brand's new classic Cobb Salad. The new salad features a similar flavor profile as the sandwich with a Red Roma lettuce blend, shredded carrots, crispy bacon strips, grape tomatoes, Whataburger’s one-of-a-kind Buffalo Sauce, blue cheese crumbles, and a side of Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. Customers can also top their salad with a diced Grilled Chicken filet, Whatachick’n, or a Spicy Chicken filet.
