About Whatachick'n Strips 3 pcs
Whatachick'n Strips come three to an order at $6.49 with 547 calories. Each strip is white meat chicken, breaded and dropped fresh, which is why they arrive hot rather than pulled from a warming tray.
Strips are the flexible order on the chicken menu. They work as a meal with fries, as a shared plate, or as the base for gravy if you order the 5 Piece Chicken Bites with Gravy version at $4.00. Sauce choice is free, and Buttermilk Ranch is the most common pick.

How to Make Whatachick'n Strips 3 pcs at Home?
Strips need a double dredge to get the craggy coating right. Buttermilk, flour, back to buttermilk, flour again.
Ingredients
Instructions
0 of 6 stepsTips
- The double dredge is what creates the texture. A single coat comes out smooth and thin.
- Fry three or four at a time so the oil stays at temperature.
- Salt straight out of the fryer while the surface is still glossy.
Variations
- Honey BBQ strips: toss in honey barbecue sauce after frying.
- Spicy strips: cayenne in the flour and hot sauce in the buttermilk.
- Strips and gravy: serve over cream gravy the way the 5 Piece Chicken Bites with Gravy does.
Serving Ideas
Serve with fries, Texas Toast and a ranch cup. That combination is the closest thing Whataburger has to a chicken plate.
