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 12 months in the past.

Each sandwiches switched to the brand new patty, which isn’t as extensive because the earlier Crispy Rooster Sandwich patty however is thicker. I just lately 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 12 months and famous the hen change. Whereas there’s an apparent textural distinction between the meaty sinew of whole-cut hen and the graceful 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 worth, however I nonetheless choose the earlier model.

The change was doubtless resulting from a cost-cutting measure (that in all probability helps in working $1 promotions on the sandwich), but it surely additionally yields a extra constant measurement to the hen.
