TL;DR
Wingstop is bringing back three fan-favorite flavor remixes: Hot Lemon, Bayou BBQ, and Lemon Garlic. The remixes were inspired by fans combining two Wingstop flavors to create a new flavor.
The remixes got their start when fans began posting on social media about combining two Wingstop flavors to create an original, new flavor from the distinctive, bold 11 flavors that anchor the menu on a daily basis. The brand gave them a try and realized their fans were clearly on to something. Since first introducing these popular remixes, fans have been clamoring for a reappearance. The three returning flavors span the spicy, savory spectrum:
Hot Lemon: Combining the kick of Wingstop's Original Hot with the iconic Lemon Pepper seasoning, Hot Lemon creates a twist on two classics that's equal parts zesty and spicy.
Bayou BBQ: Inspired by the flavors of the south, this flavor combines Hickory Smoked BBQ with a spike of the brand's signature Cajun seasoning.
Lemon Garlic: Lemon Pepper is on a roll - in addition to Hot Lemon, it stars alongside Wingstop's savory, buttery Garlic Parmesan in this remix with a zesty pepper-y punch.
"We're in the business of flavor and constantly exploring innovations that will add intrigue to our hand-sauced-and-tossed offerings," said Marisa Carona, Chief Growth Officer. "Limited-time-only flavors excite our core fans and also prompt new guests to give them a try so - as a spin on the familiar - we brought back a mashup of our most popular flavors, which we dub flavor remixes.
