Review: Wendy's - Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit

Wendy's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is part of their ongoing breakfast test and consists of a crispy fried whole breast chicken fillet topped with real honey butter sandwiched inside a Southern-style buttermilk biscuit.

One sandwich set me back $2.69.

The Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit finds itself in the same company as McDonald's Southern Style Chicken Biscuit and Chick-fil-A's Chicken Biscuit. What sets it apart is the addition of honey. It's a welcome addition for those who like a little sweet with their savory and goes well with the well-buttered biscuit and chicken.

The chicken has a fairly thin, crispy breading that's lightly seasoned. Somehow, the breading manages to be different than both Wendy's Chicken Nuggets and their Home-style Chicken Fillet. It's thinner than the home-style and not as bready as the nuggets.

The biscuit has a very soft, dense, spongy texture that's different than either McDonald's or Chick-fil-A, but still good in its own way. I like the texture which almost melts in your mouth and there's a nice buttery flavor to it beyond the honey butter. However, that softness carries all the way to the crust where it has a barely-there crispness.

Overall, the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is good stuff. As a fan of biscuits with honey and butter, the addition of chicken works here and makes for some morning yum.
