Did Wendy’s rename this sandwich?
Yes. Wendy’s rebranded the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit as the Honey Buddy Chicken Biscuit. It is the same sandwich, breaded all-white-meat chicken and maple honey butter on a made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuit, just under a new name. The rename launched alongside a limited-time $1 app promotion that required a qualifying purchase and ran on a weekly cadence for a defined window, not a permanent price change.
If you are searching for “Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit” and finding “Honey Buddy” on the menu board or app instead, that is the same item, not a discontinued one.
What’s on it, and how does it compare?
A breaded all-white-meat chicken fillet and maple honey butter on a made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuit, no egg, no cheese. What sets it apart from Wendy’s other biscuits is the chicken-and-honey combination rather than a savory meat-and-egg stack.

Not to be confused with the Honey Butter Biscuit
These are two different items despite the near-identical name. The plain Honey Butter Biscuit has no chicken, just the biscuit and honey butter, and runs about $1.54. This chicken sandwich costs considerably more and is a full breakfast entree rather than a side. If a search result quotes a price under $2 for “Honey Butter,” it is almost certainly describing the plain biscuit, not this one.
