Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits at Whataburger Are Free, Thanks to Lainey Wilson | Eater Houston

"Marking its 75th anniversary, this Texas-born fast-food chain — founded in Corpus Christi in 1950 by Harmon Dobson, who aimed "to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn’t help but exclaim, "What a burger!"" — is rolling out anniversary promotions. The chain has tapped country star Lainey Wilson as its brand ambassador for the year, the Houston Chronicle reports; in a statement Wilson says she used to get honey butter chicken biscuits late at night after playing honky-tonks, and with her dad between horse sails and rodeos. As part of the celebration, Wilson’s favorite menu item, honey butter chicken biscuits, will be free from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, January 28 (no purchase necessary; limit one per person). The brand also announced it will bring back the Monterey melt and the chicken fajita taco for the year and will offer monthly merch deals priced at $19.50 to honor the founding year. Coverage predicts ancillary sales — coffee, soda and hash brown sticks — will spike as fans take advantage of the giveaway." - Courtney E. Smith
