About the Hungry Jack's Cowboy Whopper

The Hungry Jack's Cowboy Whopper is $15.55 and 3,481 kJ, which makes it one of the heaviest single patty burgers on the Australian menu. It takes the Whopper and loads it: melted cheese, double bacon, crispy onion rings, smoky BBQ sauce, mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on a toasted sesame seed bun.

Onion rings inside a burger sound like a gimmick until you eat one. They do a job nothing else on the menu does, which is add crunch that survives contact with sauce. Lettuce goes limp, pickles are wet crunch rather than dry crunch, and a crumbed ring holds its texture right through to the last bite. That contrast against a soft patty and a soft bun is the whole reason this burger works.

BBQ sauce is the other structural choice. It brings sweetness and smoke, and it doubles down on what the flame grill already does rather than cutting against it. Mustard is in there to stop the whole thing going cloying, and the pickles back it up. Without those two the Cowboy Whopper would be a sweet burger, and it is not.

The numbers are where you should look before ordering. Sodium sits at 1,739mg, which is about three quarters of the daily reference in one burger, driven by the double bacon and the BBQ sauce together. Fat is 62g and protein is 40.2g. This is a burger that does the whole job of a meal on its own.

Who it suits: someone who finds a plain Whopper too clean and wants texture and sweetness in the same bite. It is also the burger to order when you are skipping chips, because at 3,481 kJ it already carries what a burger and a side normally would. Cowboy Whopper calories are worth checking against the plain version, which is 2,437 kJ.

Pair it with Large Frozen Drinks at $2.00 for something cold and sharp against the sweetness, or go up to the Double Cowboy Whopper at $21.00.

How to Make the Hungry Jack's Cowboy Whopper at Home?

Two things separate a home Cowboy Whopper from a home Whopper: onion rings that stay crisp inside the burger, and a BBQ sauce with enough acid to not go cloying. Both are worth doing properly. Makes 2 servings against $15.55 each.

Tips

  • Soda water, cold, is what makes a light batter. Tap water gives you a heavy coating that goes soggy the moment it meets sauce.
  • Pick a BBQ sauce with vinegar high in the ingredient list. A sauce that is mostly sugar makes the whole burger flat.
  • Fry the rings last if you can. They are the one element with a short window.

Variations

  • Two patties gives you a Double Cowboy Whopper.
  • Swap the BBQ sauce for chipotle and add jalapenos and you are near the Grill Masters Spicy Chipotle Angus.
  • Bought frozen onion rings baked hot work fine and take twenty minutes off the job.

Serve immediately with something cold and sharp. This burger is sweet and salty at once and it wants an acidic drink rather than a sweet one.
