Wingstop’s New Chicken Sandwich: What Makes It Special?

Wingstop is “calling for a breakup” between its consumers and its current menu items by introducing its own signature chicken sandwich nationwide.

The sandwich, spread across two toasts, comes in all of the chain’s dozen dietary preferences, from lemon pepper to mango habanero.

Wingstop’s expanding The Flavor Experts nationwide brand represents an opportunity to bring new guests to the establishment by showcasing our position as The Flavor Experts, and rewarding our existing customers with some menu innovation.

The sandwich costs $5.49, and the combination with a drink and fries costs $7.99.

Since a number of fast-food restaurants have released their own fried chicken sandwiches in the past several years, a number of chicken sandwiches have emerged as menu options with multiple fast-food chains.

Wingstop announced the release of their breaded sandwich, which comes in one of three plain or spicy varieties.

Fans will wish ready to leave their inconsiderable, exhausted regular weekday lunch.

As part of the release, Wingstop announced people can mail an open letter to their sandwich to Wingstop via ChickenSandwichSplit.com.
