Whataburger Brings Back The Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich

    SAN ANTONIO, TX, May 11, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Just in time for National Barbecue Month, Whataburger brings back its wildly popular limited-time menu item, the Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich, beginning May 10 at 3 p.m. through June 21.

The sandwich, first introduced in February 2005, features Whataburger's sweet and tangy Honey BBQ sauce, three real chicken breast tenderloins and two slices of Monterey Jack cheese. This year customers can choose to have the sandwich on a big toasted bun or bold Texas Toast.

"We get emails year round from customers asking us when they can get the Honey BBQ Chicken Strip sandwich again - it's that popular," said Rich Scheffler, Whataburger Restaurants, LP Group Director of Marketing. "We always look forward to bringing back the favorites, and we think people will enjoy having the option to choose between a bun and Texas Toast."

The Honey BBQ Chicken Strip sandwich is available alone or in a combo meal with a drink and French fries, or customers can substitute fries for Whataburger's new side salad for an additional 25 cents. The new salad is about half the size of Whataburger's current garden salad and is a mix of romaine and iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes and carrots.

For nutritional information for the Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich or any other item on the Whataburger menu, customers can go to www.whataburger.com.
