Whataburger is bringing back its Bacon Wrangler Double and introducing a chicken variation to its menu starting Aug. 18, according to a press release.

Returning after its debut last summer, the Bacon Wrangler Double features two 100% beef patties, American and Monterey Jack cheeses, bacon, crispy onion strings, pickles and smoky chipotle aioli on a toasted bun. A junior size featuring two smaller beef patties is also available.

The Bacon Wrangler Chicken offers the same signature toppings and Monterey Jack cheese on a choice of a Whatachick'n, spicy chicken or grilled chicken filet.

"The Bacon Wrangler Double earned plenty of fans after its debut last year," James Sanchez, Whataburger corporate chef, said in the release. "This time around, we wanted to give guests another way to enjoy those same craveable flavors by introducing the all-new Bacon Wrangler Chicken."

The Bacon Wrangler Double starts at $9.99, and the Bacon Wrangler Chicken starts at $7.99. Both items will be available for a limited time at participating locations, though prices may vary by location.
