Wendy’s quietly swapped the whole-cut hen of its Honey Butter Rooster Biscuit for a brand new, floor hen patty that is shared with the chain’s value-priced Crispy Rooster Sandwich a few yr in the past.
Each sandwiches switched to the brand new patty, which isn’t as huge because the earlier Crispy Rooster Sandwich patty however is thicker. I not too long ago tried the Honey Butter Rooster Biscuit (there’s a deal proper now the place it is solely $1) for the primary time in over a yr and famous the hen change. Whereas there’s an apparent textural distinction between the meaty sinew of whole-cut hen and the sleek texture of the bottom hen, the patty was thicker than typical of a hen patty, with a determined plumpness to it. The breading was skinny however very crispy. It was good for the value, however I nonetheless choose the earlier model.
The change was doubtless because of a cost-cutting measure (that most likely helps in operating $1 promotions on the sandwich), however it additionally yields a extra constant dimension to the hen.
