IF you’re a fan of Wendy’s and want to know how you can get an even ‘bigger’ meal for just $7, you’ve come to the right place.
A fan of the fast food giant has revealed a secret menu hack that’ll get you more bang for your buck - and we’re sure you’ll want to try it next time you hit the drive-thru.
Back in 2023, Wendy’s replaced its iconic grilled chicken sandwich with a grilled chicken wrap.
Following this switch, a foodie named Angel Albring, who is gluten-free, shared the little-known trick she swears by when ordering from the chain.
As reported by AOL, Angel confirmed her savvy Wendy's hack, as she claimed that she will order the grilled chicken wrap and ask to ditch the tortilla for lettuce.
She expressed: “I ask for it in a plastic salad container, and with a few quick chops, I have a budget-friendly, gluten-free, high-protein salad!”

The handy hack, which has recently gained traction after appearing on Tasting Table, will turn your once standard order into something that’s sure to leave you drooling.
Not only this, but it’s also healthier too, so if you’re looking to lose some weight, it’s a great alternative, whilst ensuring you still get your fast food fix.
Angel then explained: “One of the biggest perks of this lettuce-wrapped swap is that you get all the flavor of a wrap without the extra carbs or calories.
“Unlike the breaded, deep-fried chicken in a classic crispy chicken sandwich, the grilled chicken in Wendy’s wrap is marinated in herbs and spices, so you get a lot of flavor even though the meat isn't fried.

“Plus, it comes with shredded cheddar cheese and creamy ranch, so you get some extra flavor if you want it and you can take those things off if you don't.”
Not only this, but if you really want to take things up a notch, you can also customize your lettuce-wrapped chicken into a more filling salad.
While Wendy’s already has some tasty salads on the menu, they can often be pricey and come with unwanted extras, like croutons, fried toppings or creamy dressings.
Instead, you can DIY your own salad, so you can control what goes in it while also saving a few bucks.
If you customize your order through the Wendy’s app, some add-ons might be free!

The crispy chicken wrap costs around $7 and you can use those few extra dollars you saved to add things such as tomatoes, onions, or pickles.
But that's not all, as you could even add a little extra cheese too.
