At a Glance
- Wendy’s launched three new Biggie Deals bundles on January 14, 2026, priced at $4, $6, and $8
- Each bundle lets customers pick two to four items, mixing sandwiches, nuggets, fries, and drinks
- The chain also confirmed the spring 2026 return of its discontinued Sweet and Sour sauce
- Why it matters: The move intensifies the fast-food value war as Burger King counters with its own $4.99 combo
Wendy’s is rebooting its value menu with customizable Biggie Deals that let diners build their own meal bundles at three fixed prices. The nationwide rollout began Wednesday, January 14, 2026, and pairs wallet-friendly prices with menu favorites.
Three Price Points, Dozens of Combos
The new lineup stacks like this:
$4 Biggie Bites – pick two items
- Choice one: Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, 4-piece Nuggets, or Jr. Fry
- Choice two: 4-piece Nuggets, Jr. Fry, or small drink
$6 Biggie Bag – four items total
- Sandwich pick: Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, or Double Stack
- Automatic add-ons: 4-piece Nuggets, Jr. Fry, small drink
$8 Biggie Bundle – two entrées plus sides
- Pick any two: Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, Double Stack
- Comes with Jr. Fry and small drink
The format keeps the math simple: higher price equals more food and more choices.
Sauce Fans Get Their Wish
Alongside the meal news, Wendy’s confirmed that the cult-favorite Sweet and Sour dip will reappear in spring 2026. The sauce vanished in September 2025 when the chain rolled out oversized sauce cups for its revamped Chicken Tenders.
Those six newer sauces-Wendy’s Signature, Sweet Chili, Scorchin’ Hot, Creamy Ranch, Honey BBQ, and Honey Mustard-remain on the menu in double-size portions “for maximum dunkability,” according to the brand.
Burger King Fires Back
The value skirmish heated up a week earlier when Burger King unveiled a $4.99 Double Cheeseburger combo on January 7. That January-only deal bundles a two-patty burger, fries, and drink, setting up a head-to-head battle for budget-conscious diners.
Key Takeaways
- Wendy’s gives customers control: no two bundles have to look the same
- The $4 tier matches Burger King’s combo price before tax
- Sauce nostalgia is real-Sweet and Sour’s return could drive extra foot traffic this spring
- Expect more chains to tweak value menus as inflation-wary diners seek set-price certainty
