[Whataburger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whataburger-breakfast-bowl), in collaboration with musician Lainey Wilson, is establishing an annual promotional event on February 4th — the National Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit Day. On this day, the [QSR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-honey-buddy) chain will offer a complimentary serving of its signature breakfast sandwich at participating restaurants from 6 a.m. (or 7 a.m. dependent on store hours) to 11 a.m.

Whataburger's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit brings together a breaded chicken fillet, a buttermilk biscuit, and a delectable sweet honey butter sauce. Lainey Wilson expressed her enthusiasm for the menu item: “If you know me, you know I don’t need much of an excuse to celebrate a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. It’s about time it got a moment of its own! Whataburger has been part of so many moments in my life, and this biscuit has seen me through early mornings and long nights more times than I can count.”
