About Premium Whatachick'n
The Premium Whatachick'n costs $5.39 and carries 524 calories. Same white meat fillet as the Signature, but built on a softer brioche style bun with a fuller set of toppings, which turns it into a sandwich that eats closer to a sit down chicken burger.
The bun is what you are paying for. It is richer and holds sauce better, so the sandwich stays together through the last bite instead of drying out. Against the Signature at $4.99, the upgrade is small in price and noticeable in texture.

How to Make Premium Whatachick'n at Home?
A brioche bun changes a fried chicken sandwich more than any sauce does. Toast it in butter and the sandwich reads premium immediately.
Ingredients
Chicken
Assembly
Instructions
0 of 5 stepsTips
- Brioche burns faster than a plain bun. Toast it over medium heat and watch it.
- Sauce the top bun only, so the bottom stays structurally sound.
- Let the fried fillet sit 60 seconds before assembly so steam escapes instead of softening the crust.
Variations
- Hot honey: drizzle honey and hot sauce over the fillet before closing.
- Bacon and jack: add bacon and Monterey Jack for a heavier build.
- Spicy premium: cayenne in the flour, jalapenos on top.
Serving Ideas
Serve with onion rings and a shake. The richer bun pairs better with sweetness than with more salt.
