Saddle Up! Whataburger’s Bacon Wrangler Double Is Returning with an All-New Bacon Wrangler Chicken Sandwich
The Whataburger Bacon Wrangler returns August 18 alongside the new Bacon Wrangler Chicken. We have prices, ingredients, and limited-time menu details here.
Fast-food enthusiasts and smoky flavor chasers, mark your calendars: August 18 is shaping up to be a legendary day at Whataburger. The fast-food chain has officially announced that the fan-favorite Bacon Wrangler Double is making its triumphant return after a smash-hit debut last summer. However, this time around, the cowboy-inspired classic isn’t riding solo. It’s also bringing an all-new companion along for the ride: the Bacon Wrangler Chicken. Whether you’re loyal to 100% fresh beef or prefer a savory chicken filet, Whataburger is offering two distinct ways to indulge in their signature smoky, savory topping combination.
The Return of a Fan Favorite: The Bacon Wrangler Double
After leaving fans begging for a comeback, the Bacon Wrangler Double returns in all its original glory. Stacked with two 100% fresh, never-frozen beef patties on toasted buns, this hearty creation is layered with:
- Melted American cheese
- Creamy Monterey Jack cheese
- Crispy, smoky bacon
- Golden crispy onion strings
- Tangy pickles
- Whataburger’s signature smoky chipotle aioli
For guests who want all that colossal flavor in a slightly more compact format, Whataburger is also offering the Bacon Wrangler Jr., which still packs a punch with two beef patties scaled for a smaller bite.
Brand-New for 2026: The Bacon Wrangler Chicken
If you love chicken sandwiches, Whataburger is breaking new ground by translating the Bacon Wrangler flavor profile to poultry for the very first time. The Bacon Wrangler Chicken lets guests tailor their sandwich to their exact cravings by offering three protein choices:
- Classic Whatachick’n Filet: Crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned.
- Spicy Chicken Filet: For those who want an extra kick of heat.
- Grilled Chicken Filet: A tender, savory grilled option.
Each variation is topped with Monterey Jack cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onion strings, and that addicting smoky chipotle aioli.
“The Bacon Wrangler Double earned plenty of fans after its debut last year,” said Whataburger corporate chef James Sanchez. “This time around, we wanted to give Guests another way to enjoy those same craveable flavors by introducing the all-new Bacon Wrangler Chicken.”
