The Best Breakfast Sandwich On Hardee's Menu Packs 30 Grams Of Protein

Protein has become the fashionable macronutrient to load up on at every meal. And if you want to get your fill of protein to fuel your morning, Hardee's breakfast sandwich options certainly oblige. We recently ranked 15 Hardee's breakfast sandwiches according to the taste and texture of each element, from the type of bread to the proteins in question. The winner not only tastes delicious, but also contains a whopping 30 grams of protein.

We ranked Hardee's hand-breaded chicken sandwich number one, and we were as surprised as you might be to find a sandwich that consists only of a fried chicken filet in a biscuit win the top ranking. Hardee's isn't necessarily known for biscuits or fried chicken, but after tasting this sandwich, we think it should definitely be on your radar of chicken sandwiches served by non-chicken restaurants to try out.

While many breakfast sandwiches have eggs and cheese in addition to the main protein, the chicken filet in this sandwich was pretty much solely responsible for its 30-gram protein count. It is one of the thickest filets we've seen in a biscuit sandwich. And, in this case, quality is on par with quantity, as the filet was breaded and fried to crispy perfection and seasoned beautifully. Most importantly, the breast meat was tender and juicy, contrasting the crunchy breading perfectly. The biscuit was the perfect salty, fluffy vessel to complement the texture and flavor of the chicken.

Hardee's customers seem to be on board with our opinion of the hand-breaded chicken sandwich. One Facebook review of the sandwich stated, "It was one of the best fast food chicken sandwich[es] I have had in a very long time! Hot, juicy, and perfectly cooked." A Reddit review acknowledged its size, proclaiming, "it's such a nice portion and juicy." The biscuit got just as many compliments as the chicken, with another commenter on Facebook asserting that Hardee's has the "best biscuits of all the fast fooders!" Another Facebooker commented that they'd "rather have chicken biscuit from Hardee's than Chick-Fil-A any day," a sentiment echoed by Redditors and YouTube reviews alike.

A YouTube review was equally complimentary of the biscuit, stating, "The biscuit is nice and fluffy and has saltiness, but the sweetness of it with the chicken filet, nice and juicy and tender. You can't go wrong with that." The reviewer also commented on how hefty the biscuit sandwiches are. The sandwich may be simple, but each element is perfectly executed and huge, hence the 30 grams of protein. So, if you're not a morning person, Hardee's chicken sandwich is all the motivation you need to get to Hardee's before they stop serving breakfast at 10:30 a.m. That said, on the weekends, you can get breakfast until 11 a.m., and various Facebook customers said their locations serve breakfast until noon. But even if you miss breakfast, Hardee's has hand-breaded chicken sandwiches available for lunch and dinner.
