Whataburger is welcoming back a fan favorite: the buffalo ranch chicken strip sandwich.

The sandwich made its debut in 2015 and is back for a limited time. It consists of three chicken strips, two slices of Monterrey jack cheese, buttermilk ranch and Whataburger's buffalo sauce.

Students at Harlandale ISD Stem Early College High School helped Whataburger make the "extraordinary announcement" of the sandwich's return by building a Rube Goldberg machine for its reveal, according to a news release.

The sandwich isn't the only newcomer — Whataburger is also releasing apple cranberry and garden salads and a salted caramel shake.

Like the buffalo ranch chicken strip sandwich, the salted caramel shake is only around for a limited time.
