Is the Whataburger spicy chicken sandwich good
Taste is personal, and we do not rate food. People who search this usually want to know how hot it is and how it compares with the other chicken. The heat comes from the seasoned breading, and the lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise cool it down.
For more heat, add jalapeños ($0.70) or jalapeño cream cheese ($0.90). For a sauce-based kick, the Buffalo Ranch Jr. costs less.

Whataburger's allergen data lists egg, wheat, gluten and soy for the #12. Milk, MSG, fish, peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish are listed as not present.
