Thanks to this ‘Yellowstone’ star, you can grab a free Whataburger item for one day only

Want a free Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit from Whataburger? Just visit your local Fort Worth Whataburger on Jan. 28 from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. No other purchase is necessary.

The breakfast item giveaway is Whataburger’s way of celebrating actress and country singer, Lainey Wilson, as its 2025 brand ambassador — the HBCB is her favorite “post show indulgence” snack.

“I’ve been rolling through Whataburger drive-thrus since I was just a small-town girl in Louisiana with big dreams,” Wilson said in Whataburger’s news release. “From grabbing Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits with my daddy between horse sales and rodeos to late-night stops on the road playing honky-tonks — Whataburger’s been part of my story every step of the way.”

Who is Lainey Wilson?

You may recognize Wilson from Taylor Sheridan’s hit series “Yellowstone.” In fact, the most recent season featured Wilson playing Abby, an aspiring country singer, which featured a concert that was shot at Billy Bob’s. Of course, the real-life country singer has also played at Billy Bobs, selling out the venue within 40 minutes.

Wilson is better-known for her award-winning county music. She won a Grammy for Best Country Album for her 2022 album “Bell Bottom Country,” and her latest album, “Whirlwind,” was nominated for Best Country Album at the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards.

Wilson has also received seven Country Music Association awards so far, including Entertainer of the Year.

Wilson also performed the halftime show for the 2024 Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game at AT&T Stadium.
