Wendy's Best Breakfast Sandwich By Far Rivals A Best-Selling Chick-Fil-A Item

Wendy's is known for square shaped burgers, the almighty Frosty, and unique sides like chili and a fluffy baked potato. But breakfast is a relatively new offering, debuting in 2020 with a menu that continues to expand. We sampled Wendy's many breakfast sandwiches to find the best one, ranking each according to the taste and texture of the ingredients and how well they worked together. The best breakfast sandwich by far is the Honey Buddy Chicken Biscuit, which rivals a best-selling item from Chick-fil-A.

Consisting of maple honey butter slathered onto a buttermilk biscuit and stuffed with a crispy breaded chicken breast, the Honey Buddy Chicken Biscuit was blissfully delicious. The sweet and savory contrast of the seasoned breaded chicken to the honey butter is as irresistible as the textural contrast of the crunchy chicken and soft, fluffy biscuit. It's very similar to one of the best-selling Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwiches, the chicken biscuit, a fried chicken breast sandwiched between a buttery biscuit. It's a two-ingredient sandwich that should be perfect in its simplicity. While the chain does both elements well, this sandwich is seriously lacking, earning it one of the lowest rankings for Chick-fil-A's breakfast menu items. The fact it had no additional fillings or even condiments made for an especially dry and boring sandwich. On the other hand, Wendy's honey butter and seasoned chicken breading did a lot of heavy lifting, bringing moisture, decadence, and flavor, making Wendy's sandwich superior.

We found plenty of favorable reviews for Wendy's Honey Buddy Chicken Biscuit on social media. A Facebook review complimented the honey butter as a sweet condiment, stating, "Has just enough of the honey to give a nice spice and not make the biscuit a soggy mess!" A TikTok review gave the sandwich an 8 out of 10 and deemed it an underrated breakfast item with a soft, buttery biscuit with a standout flavor balance between sweet and savory. Like us, the reviewer felt the honey butter tied everything together, differentiating it from the drier, condiment-less Chick-fil-A version. In fact, the reviewer thought Wendy's is also better than the chicken biscuit from another famous burger chain. "I grew up in Texas, and I think it's better than Whataburger's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit," they said.

If you want to bring even more depth of flavor, you can always add hot sauce to counter the sweetness and complement the savoriness of the chicken. Barbecue sauce would also work well with honey butter and fried chicken. Another Wendy's breakfast item that customers raved about are Wendy's breakfast fries, which are crispy, beautifully seasoned potato wedges that many think are better than the french fries. So be sure to make it a combo meal for your next Honey Buddy Chicken Biscuit breakfast order to enjoy with coffee or juice.
