The fan-favorite Bacon Wrangler Double is joined by the all-new Bacon Wrangler Chicken beginning Aug. 18
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Bacon Wrangler is riding back to Whataburger – and this time, it has company. Beginning Aug. 18, the fan-favorite Bacon Wrangler Double returns with an all-new counterpart: the Bacon Wrangler Chicken, giving Guests two delicious ways to enjoy the lineup’s signature smoky flavor combination.
Back by popular demand, the Bacon Wrangler Double returns after its successful debut last summer. The hearty burger features two fresh, 100% beef patties layered with American and Monterey Jack cheeses, bacon, crispy onion strings, pickles and smoky chipotle aioli on toasted buns. Guests looking for a smaller bite can also order it in a Jr. size, which still comes stacked with two beef patties.
New this year, the Bacon Wrangler Chicken takes everything Guests love about the Bacon Wrangler and puts it on chicken for the very first time. Guests can choose a classic Whatachick’n®, Spicy Chicken or Grilled Chicken filet, each finished with Monterey Jack cheese, bacon and the Bacon Wrangler’s signature toppings.
“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.”
The Bacon Wrangler Double is available starting at $9.99, while the Bacon Wrangler Chicken starts at $7.99. Prices vary by location.
Saddle up August 18. This one’s only sticking around for a limited time at participating locations.
