Wendy’s Breakfast Menu Is FINALLY Dropping Nationwide—Here’s When
Updated: Jul. 15, 2022
What's a better way to start the day than with a Breakfast Baconator?!
Wendy’s was already on the precipice of a major renaissance after last year’s announcement that Spicy Chicken Nuggets were coming out of retirement. As if that wasn’t enough, everyone’s favorite redheaded fast-food chain dropped another major bombshell on us—a nationwide breakfast menu. After teasing us with the concept in fall of 2019, Wendy’s has finally set a date for when we can indulge in a Breakfast Baconator, and we know we’ll be jumping out of bed to be in line.
Wendy’s Is Where to Be This March
Wendy’s is one of the more popular fast food burger joints that hasn’t yet offered breakfast as a widespread option. Prior to this announcement, a few hundred Wendy’s locations have had breakfast available in some form. However, all restaurants will sell a morning meal as early as March 2, when the nationwide breakfast menu officially launches.
Naturally, Wendy’s was rather cheeky about it via Twitter, going as far as tweeting McDonald’s in reference to their ongoing rivalry. We have to say—we’re kind of on Wendy’s side this time around. (That may change once we get our hands on the all-new McChicken Biscuits, though.)
Yeah, we wouldn’t wake up for your breakfast either. Don’t worry, on 3/2 there will be something worth waking up for. #WendysBreakfast pic.twitter.com/zeh1gmX0A8

The new includes feature items like a Breakfast Baconator, a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant and Frosty-ccinos.
We Just Can’t Wait for a Taste
According to Wendy’s President and Chief Commercial Officer Kurt Kane, each sandwich includes a fresh, hand-cracked egg, and the taste is so fresh it’s made to have you craving more than one. The Breakfast Baconator, in particular, comes with egg, a signature sausage patty and six strips of Applewood smoked bacon. Now that’s how breakfast should be done.
Personally, I’m seriously excited for that Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. Breakfast biscuit sandwiches are such an under-appreciated menu item.
Burger Americana
Go on a burger road trip in your own backyard. Grill the patties and load them sky-high with your favorite toppings. For instance, peanut butter and bacon make them southern style; coleslaw and tomatoes, a northern version. —Susan Mahaney, New Hartford, New York
Inspired By: Crispy Chicken Nuggets
My 3-year-old went through a chicken-nuggets-and-french-fries-only stage, so I made these golden nuggets for him. Even the grown-ups like them! —Amanda Livesay, Mobile, Alabama
Slow-Cooked Chili
This hearty slow cooker chili can cook for up to 10 hours on low in the slow cooker. It's so good to come home to its wonderful aroma after a long day away. —Sue Call, Beech Grove, Indiana
Ground Beef Taco Salad
In spring we look for something light and refreshing on the menu after the heavier comfort food of winter; this salad is a great solution. —Muriel Bertrand, Shoreview, Minnesota Do you know which Wendy's salads are the healthiest? Here they are, ranked.
Bacon & Swiss Chicken Sandwiches
I created this chicken sandwich recipe based on a meal my daughter ordered at a restaurant. She likes to dip her sandwich in the extra honey-mustard sauce. —Marilyn Moberg, Papillion, Nebraska
Cheesy Chili Fries
My family is all about chili fries, but restaurant versions pile on the calories. For a healthier approach, bake the fries and serve them with green onions and avocado. —Beverly Nowling, Bristol, Florida
Chicken Quinoa Salad
We pile our favorite gyro fixin’s into nutritious quinoa bowls. Our local gyro guy has a cool but spicy sauce that transforms his sandwiches. It’s a must here, too. —Leah Lyon, Ada, Oklahoma
Cheesy Stuffed Baked Potatoes
These special stuffed baked potatoes are a hit with my whole family, from the smallest grandchild on up. I prepare them up to a week in advance, wrap them well and freeze. Their flavorful filling goes so nicely with juicy ham slices. —Marge Clark, West Lebanon, Indiana
Fried Chicken Strips
I recently made this recipe of Mom's for my in-laws and they told me it was the "best fried chicken ever." Slicing the chicken breasts into strips cuts down on cooking time and ensures every piece is crunchy and evenly coated. Serve the homemade chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce. —Genny Monchamp, Redding, California
Chicken & Apple Salad with Greens
My favorite memory of eating this dish was when my mom made it for lunch on weekends when we were home from school and could have something other than "brown bag" lunches. Happy memories of childhood and late summer days just make this salad extra special. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho
Inspired By: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
This cookie recipe—a favorite of our four children—has been in my collection for years. Sometimes I'll substitute mint-flavored chips for the semisweet chocolate chips. Either way, the chocolate cookies disappear quickly. This is one of our favorite easy chocolate chip cookie recipes. —Sheri Ziesemer, Olympia, Washington
Inspired By: Sausage & Egg Burrito
This is a great kid-friendly recipe that takes only 20 minutes to prepare and cook.—Sharon Haswell, Cheshire, Massachusetts
Inspired By: Southwest Avocado Chicken Sandwich
I threw these ingredients together on a whim and the sandwich turned out so well, I surprised myself! If you're in a rush, microwave the bacon—just cover it with a paper towel to keep it from spattering too much. —Dana York, Kennewick, Washington
Garlic-Chive Baked Fries
Yes, you do want fries with that—especially these crispy, golden fries, full of garlic flavor and just a little bit of heat. —Steve Westphal, Wind Lake, Wisconsin
Inspired By: Spicy Chicken Nuggets
We devour these spicy chicken nuggets at least once a week. If you want to tone down the heat, skip the chipotle pepper. —Cheryl Cook, Palmyra, Virginia
