How is the Whataburger Spicy Chicken Sandwich?

Good, not great. I’d put it more towards a Wendy’s spicy chicken. Not even close to Popeye’s.

It’s a bit dry. The fish sandwich is better than the chicken at whataburger.

I didn't really care for it. I'd rank it below Popeye's, Chick Fil A and Wendy's.

While Whataburger is probably my favorite fast-food burger, I've always found their fried chicken (tenders, buffalo chicken sandwich & that sandwich) to be subpar.

I do like their grilled chicken Monterey melt and find their chicken tacos to be highly underrated fast food options.

Everything fried at Whataburger sucks. Their burgers rock, but their fries, tenders, and everything else fried is crap.

I still think the Popeyes sandwich would be better if the spicy one was the same as the rest of their spicy chicken instead of just the mild chicken with some spicy Mayo.

The Whataburger commercial says their new sandwich gets its spiciness by marinating the pieces before frying. Isn't that the way Popeyes does its regular spicy chicken?

Yes. When you order a mixed piece spicy box from Popeyes, you see red pepper under the skin, inside the chicken. However, for their spicy chicken sandwich there's no visible red pepper inside the breast. That is a tad disappointing; however, it's still quite delicious overall. The frying batter is perfection.

As for the Whataburger spicy chicken sandwich, yes seasoning on the inside, but as another poster above properly pointed out, it seems Whataburger does a poor job with its fried offerings.
